Alejandra Lara

Alejandra Lara, the current Budo Sento Championship Women’s Flyweight Champion, made her professional MMA debut on December 10, 2011, securing a victory by retirement at Extreme Combat MMA Senshi Ki 1. Prior to her Bellator MMA tenure, Lara established a formidable record of six wins against one loss, showcasing her early dominance in the sport. She officially joined Bellator MMA in December 2017, making an immediate impact with a submission victory over Lena Ovchynnikova at Bellator 190. Her strong start prompted Bellator to sign Lara to a new long-term contract in February 2018, affirming her commitment to the promotion.

Maintaining her competitive schedule, Lara continued to face top-tier talent in Bellator, including a split decision loss against Kana Watanabe at Bellator 255 in April 2021 and another closely fought split decision loss to Diana Avsaragova at Bellator 290 in February 2023. These performances underscored her tenacity and willingness to compete against the best in her division, consistently proving herself a formidable contender. Following the conclusion of her contractual obligations, Lara was released from Bellator in February 2024, signaling a new chapter in her professional fighting career. Undeterred, Alejandra Lara swiftly transitioned to independent competition, making a powerful debut with Combate Global in May 2024, where she secured an impressive TKO victory.

Building on this momentum, Lara, known by her nickname ‘Azul,’ entered the Budo Sento Championship. In August 2024, she reached a career pinnacle by claiming the vacant Budo Sento Championship Women’s Flyweight Championship, triumphing over Silvana Gómez Juárez by unanimous decision at BSC 24. This recent championship victory solidifies her standing as a prominent and marketable force in the global mixed martial arts landscape.
