After putting her fighting career on pause to participate in a reality show, undefeated Valerie Loureda will return to action this month at Bellator 238. A women’s flyweight matchup between Loureda (2-0 MMA, 2-0 BMMA) and Tara Gaff (1-1 MMA, 0-0 BMMA) is targeted for the Jan. 25 card, two people with knowledge of the booking told MMA Junkie on Monday. The people wished to remain anonymous because contracts have not been signed but are expected to be. The fight will be part of the Bellator 238 prelims, which stream on MMA Junkie prior to the main card on DAZN from The Forum in Inglewood, Calif. Related 20 fighters who could become stars in the 2020s Loureda, 21, last competed at Bellator 222 in June, where she earned a unanimous decision over Larkyn Dasch in her second professional bout
