Lara will become eligible to return on Jan. 24, 2027. The
32-year-old Colombian reportedly tested positive in connection with
her April 24 bout at Tuff-N-Uff
153. Lara lost the fight to Jaleen Robledo via third-round
guillotine.
The defeat dropped Lara’s record to 12-10 and she’s gone 3-3 since
departing Bellator
in 2023.
Lara spent much of her Bellator tenure competing in the promotion’s
women’s flyweight division. She went 3-6 inside the organization
and challenged Ilima-Lei
Macfarlane for the Bellator women’s flyweight title in June
2018. Lara lost the bout via third-round armbar.
