To my fans, I’m very excited to announce I was casted for an upcoming reality show @exatlon that premieres August 19th on @telemundo. This is going to be a life changing journey for me. I will be disconnected from any contact from the outside world for a few weeks to months. Competing out of martial arts is completely out of my comfort zone, but I will prove to myself and the world the athlete that I am. Out of 20,000 applicants 10 people were chosen to compete against my team and I, #teamfamosos. I promise I will give my heart and soul into this experience and represent MMA globally to 8 million viewers. My sister will be handling my social media while I am filming. Truly from the bottom of my heart, I will miss you all and know that your support and motivation will keep me going me every day. I will be back soon; stronger, faster, smarter, and hungrier than ever to become the next bellator flyweight champion. You can watch me every night on @telemundo at 7pm EST. Xoxo, VL

Loureda has a 2-0 pro MMA record, and was last in action at Bellator 222 in June when she defeated Larkyn Dasch via unanimous decision.
She will be missed in the Octagon.
