Alejandra Lara is back in the win column, and she’s feeling good about what’s to come. The former Bellator title challenger was successful in her first fight since her PFL release earlier this year after the promotion’s acquisition. Lara (10-7) dominated and bloodied her opponent Gisela Luna (5-2) to get a first-round TKO in the headliner of a Combate Global event this past Saturday in Miami. Lara was a little disappointed she never got to debut for PFL, as she had made major changes in her career and healed several injuries. Either way, the Colombian is proud she showed improvement on Saturday and is confident there’s more to come. “I wanted to show that I’m evolving, that I’m at another level, and that I’m primed for big things,” Lara told MMA Junkie in Spanish .
