With viral Amazon statement and TKO win, Alejandra Lara had a perfect weekend
Alejandra Lara Bellator MMA BRIDGEPORT, Conn. — For most fighters, the few seconds when they step on to the scale are fleeting and often go forgotten. It is a chance to showcase your physical hard work, perhaps flash a few sponsor badges, and then to close the book on your pre-fight preparation. Alejandra Lara, though, could not in good conscience let that moment of spotlight slip away. Not in a moment of crisis.
On Friday, Lara went viral after showing up to the ceremonial Bellator 225 weigh-ins with words scrawled in pen all over her body in black marker protesting the Amazon deforestation that has led to raging wildfires.
