“Warhorse” will fight Valerie Letourneau in a women’s flyweight bout on the main card of Bellator 201 on June 29 at the Pechanga Resort and Casino in Temecula, Calif., replacing an injured Bruna Ellen. The bout was announced on the Bellator 200 broadcast.
In her pro debut at Bellator 185 last October, the 28-year-old Williams dominated boxing champion-turned-MMA fighter Heather Hardy en route to a second-round TKO. She now faces Letourneau (9-6), an 11-year veteran who previously challenged for the UFC strawweight championship.
Letourneau had a successful promotional debut herself at Bellator 191, defeating Kate Jackson by unanimous decision.
