Today will be Alejandra Lara’s last MMA session at Lobo Gym before she takes her flight to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic tomorrow and disconnects from her MMA regimens and makes her appearance on the reality show Exatlón Estados Unidos (Exatlon USA).

Lara will compete on Exatlón Estados Unidos in a bid to win $200,000.

“A few weeks ago they contacted me and I asked Bellator for permission to be on the reality show and they gladly agreed,” Lara told WMMA Rankings in Spanish. “This is something that benefits all, for the Latino audience in the U.S to know the brand of Bellator and myself.”

Lara watched the show back in Guadalajara, Mexico and saw it as a good opportunity to reach the U.S audience, she added.

The winner of the competition will win $200,000. Twenty participants are chosen from different cities in the country: celebrities, professional athletes and amateur athletes.

The rival teams will consist of five men and five women each, who will be tested in extreme conditions and work as a team to complete daily challenges.

One participant will be eliminated each week throughout the competition.

No phones nor any type of technology will be allowed, there’s even a limitation in the clothes the participants can bring.

“The reason why I decided to join the competition is to disconnect. I’m always focused, so being away from MMA won’t be wasting my time,” Lara said. “I will keep my fitness and work on technique when possible.”

UFC middleweight Yoel Romero competed in Exatlon USA last year, his teammate and Cuban countryman Jorge Masvidal also appeared on the reality show in 2018.

Telemundo will air their fourth season of Exatlon USA on Jan. 20 at 7 p.m./6 central time.
