"I know that I can get the same support the community has given Jorge. I have the same coaches as Jorge, the same training, and I'm following his steps in the sport.
"He's guiding me a lot. I'm very confident in my camp, in my team, my city behind me. And I'm going to win this fight for the Cubans here in Miami."
"I'm proud of that performance."@ValerieLouredaa weighed in on the win that took her to a 3-0 record as a pro here at #Bellator243. pic.twitter.com/4TSJ1C1vQf
