Valerie Loureda is feeling patriotic in her underwear!
The MMA fighter turned WWE star took to her Instagram page on Wednesday and shared three hot snaps to tease her followers. Loureda showed her love for her country by raising the Cuban flag while clad in nothing but her underwear.
The 24-year-old rose to prominence after attracting attention for her insane fighting skills as a Bellator fighter. In 2020, Loureda scored an impressive KO and celebrated by dancing inside the ring. She also gained fame by showing off her insanely fit body on social media.
Stripping Down To Her Underwear

In her latest share, Loureda did just that by rocking a navy blue bra-and-panties set, which boasted a very revealing design. It included a bralette with thin shoulder straps that accentuated her toned arms. The low, scoop neckline displayed her cleavage.
Loureda also sported a pair of matching undies that were equally risqué -- if not more. The garment featured a tight waistband highlighting her flat midsection and toned abs. Meanwhile, its daringly high-cut design offered the wrestler's audience a good look at her sculpted thighs. The thong design also allowed Loureda to showcase her perky buns.
Showing Angles

The pictures were snapped inside a studio with red and purple lights. In the first slide, Loureda stood in the middle of the frame and placed her left leg over the other. She raised the Cuban flag above her head while flashing a big smile and angling her face to the side.
Loureda posed sideways in the second photo, and the angle gave viewers a glimpse of her round derrière. She arched her bag while holding the flag, which fell on her back, with the sides grazing her booty. She looked over her shoulder and gazed at the lens in a sultry manner.
Proud To Be Cuban

In the third pic, the influencer posed with her back facing the camera while still holding the flag. She raised her right heels and crossed her legs. See the full shot here.
Loureda styled her highlighted locks in soft curls that framed her face. For accessories, she opted for a name necklace and a ring.
"My heart is from Havana ❤️ #hispanicheritagemonth," Loureda wrote in the caption.

"You're absolutely stunning," gushed another admirer.
"This woman is gonna be the baddest in the @wwe! can't wait to see her gear!" quipped the third user.
Feeling Proud Of Her Accomplishments
Loureda was born in Miami, Florida, to Cuban parents. She's proud of her heritage and has spoken about it during an interview.
"I was born and raised in Miami. I come from a family of immigrants. I just want to show young kids who are first-generation Americans that you can do anything as long as you apply yourself, and work very hard, and your dreams can come true — like me," she said.
