Lovato recently wrote:
Words can’t describe what it means to me to be at this stage of my #MartialArts journey. To be able to learn & train with these masters of the art of combat is something I cherish very much. Thank you Mestre @andredida & Mestre @wandfc for all of your knowledge that you share with us!
adding later:
As you all have been able to see by my posts lately, I am currently training for a MMA fight. I haven’t officially announced it yet, because the promotion has been working hard the last couple of weeks on securing an opponent for me & nothing has been made official. Well, everything is coming together now & my opponent will be secured this evening so I can go ahead & tell you where I will be fighting. On March 3rd, in my home state of #Oklahoma, I will be making my @bellatormma debut at #Bellator174!!! I will be fighting with my new student @thebigpygmy & my bro @kendallgrovemma that same night! I am very excited for this opportunity & am ready to put on a great performance! Tomorrow I will post more details. Thank you all for your support!
