It didn't take long for new Bellator MMA signee Valerie Letourneau to get her first booking.
The former Ultimate Fighting Championship title challenger will make her Bellator debut at Bellator 181 on July 14, facing American Emily Ducote in a flyweight contest. The event eminates from the WinStar World Casino and Resort in Thackerville, Oklahoma, headlined by a rematch between lightweights “Pitbull” Patricky Freire and Derek Campos. Letourneau confirmed the bout during an appearance on “The MMA Hour” with Ariel Helwani on Monday. The 34-year-old Letourneau signed with Bellator in late April, joining the company's flyweight division after a tumultuous UFC run where she was caught between weight classes.
