Valerie Loureda is no longer an MMA star and is on her way to becoming a professional wrestler. 

Loureda appeared on The MMA Hour and had a chat with Ariel Helwani where she revealed that she is done with MMA and that she signed a contract with WWE. 

Valerie stated that she is very excited as she has dedicated her entire life to martial arts. Now, she finally has the opportunity to entertain the world and showcase her career.
