We talked about being in a main event title fight at 23 years of age, Alejandra training with Alexa Grasso and other name talent in the past at Roufusport (2:33), her teammates being family and the support of Columbia (3:53), not being stoked that she didn't get a name key put up in her last fight and the benefits of surprising people with your skills (6:29), doing commentary work for Empire MMA and how commentating benefits her own fighting (7:52), working full time as a physical trainer and the functional strength Alejandra gets from aerial silks, acrobatics, etc (8:44), Lara's thoughts on the 125lb women's division in Bellator and who she would like to compete against (10:51), and more!
