Lucero Acosta believes she represents all women when she fights

Lucero Acosta has shot to fame through her Instagram. With just 5 fights under her belt, she is not the most experienced of fighters. However, her ability to capture attention on social media has led to stardom. The Mexican has joined the likes of Paige VanZant by opening an OnlyF*ns account while also competing as a professional athlete.

Per Combate Global, this is what she had to say about MMA:

"I feel proud to represent all women when I train MMA"

Take a look at the tweet:

Female MMA fighters have just recently begun getting fame and recognition for their work with icons like Ronda Rousey and Amanda Nunes popularizing women's MMA. Amidst the increase in the popularity of women's MMA, the Mexican fighter is proud to be a part of this movement and believes she represents all women when she trains.

She will look to make use of her newfound fame and back it with her talent as she looks to fight again. A win against Silvia Juaneda will help her establish herself as a legitimate threat in the division.
