Valerie Loureda Latest Provocative Photos Go Viral

Valerie Loureda is a prominent MMA fighter and newly-minted professional wrestler who has built up a sizeable following in recent years.

During her run with Bellator, Loureda went 4-1 in five fights and quickly established herself as a star on the come-up. Although her skillset was objectively raw, the showmanship and general instinct she possessed was undeniable.

Many wondered if the UFC was in Loureda’s future, but instead, this past June, she decided to make shift to pro wrestling.

“I have now become the first Cuban-American woman and I am now a WWE superstar,” she told MMA insider Ariel Helwani. “I’m really excited, and I’ve dedicated my whole life to martial arts, and everything has come to this moment. And this is my opportunity to showcase my culture and entertain the world.

“I’m emotional because I’ve worked really hard in my whole life. I’ve had a very hard upbringing, and every day, I’ve always just believed in myself, and trained hard hoping to make it to the next step and just chasing a dream that I’ve had in my heart since I was a baby.”

Time will tell how Loureda does as a WWE superstar, but for now, her star power is undeniable. Recently she went mega-viral on Instagram for a series of provocative photos:

And this isn’t an isolated incident. Not long ago, she also set the internet ablaze for her racy choice of wardrobe to a Miami Heat game. Before that, she pretty much broke the world wide web with her nurse costume for Halloween.

With nearly 1 million followers on Instagram, Loureda routinely blows up for posts like this:

On paper Loureda boasts all the talents necessary for success with the WWE.

Plus, her legitimate MMA skills offer her a certain sense of legitimacy.

Nobody thinks she will be the next Ronda Rousey, but she could definitely be something special.

Will Loureda ultimately live up to her potential and become the next big female star in the WWE?

Time will tell.
