(This story was updated on 01/08/2019 at 8 p.m. ET to include information about Anastasia Bruce being denied as an opponent for Valerie Loureda.)

Taekwondo master Valerie Loureda’s MMA debut is planned for February’s Bellator 215 event.

After commission head Mike Mazzulli denied Anastasia Bruce (0-0 MMA, 0-0 BMMA) as an opponent for the preliminary-card bout at Bellator 215 (a note first reported by Eric Kowal on Twitter) due to her winless amateur record over a dozen fights, Bellator officials today told MMAjunkie they are now searching for a new opponent to face Loureda (0-0 MMA, 0-0 BMMA).

Bellator 215 takes place Feb. 15 at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn. The event’s main card is expected to air on Parmaount and stream on DAZN.

Loureda, 20, is a 4th degree black belt and former member of the U.S. Olympic team in taekwondo. She has competed in three amateur MMA fights and is training at American Top Team in advance of her pro debut.

This past November, she gave an extensive interview to MMAjunkie this past November and talked about her aspiration to break into the MMA industry. She was recently named a “Fighter to Watch” in 2019.

With Bruce having an amateur MMA record that’s listed as 0-12 by Tapology.com, Mazzulli did not feel comfortable approving the matchup and requested Bellator propose a new opponent. Bruce’s fighting future will no longer come with Bellator, a company official said.

That search is currently underway, and Bellator is hoping to find a replacement in the near future.
