JJ Aldrich
USA
Awarded controversial decision
Aldrich defeated Jamey-Lyn Horth via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28) at UFC Fight Night 273 on Saturday in Winnipeg.
ANALYSIS
UFC media members overwhelmingly scored the fight for Horth, but the three judges at ringside must have felt that Aldrich did enough with her counterpunching. Horth dictated the pace and outstruck Aldrich numerically; however, the last two rounds were close, with Aldrich landing hard shots in each. Ultimately, neither woman did enough here to complain about the result, despite the prevailing opinion that Horth should have gotten her hand raised. Aldrich improved to 15-7-0 due to the victory and has won three of her last four fights.

Not even multiple days into 2025, the UFC scheduled Aldrich against Andrea Lee for an Apex card. It was logged on March 1, when the former defeated the latter via unanimous decision. Aldrich will look to continue the positive momentum and go 2-0 this year.

Bounces back against Lee
Aldrich defeated Andrea Lee via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 29-28) at UFC Vegas 103 on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Aldrich entered this fight as a betting favorite in the neighborhood of (-200) and did exactly what she was supposed to, handing Lee her sixth consecutive UFC loss. In what was mostly a stand-up affair, Aldrich got the best of the significant striking numbers in all three rounds, and she was also credited with a takedown in Rounds 1 and 3 to boot. A win over Lee proves little these days, but Aldrich has quietly won three of her last four fights.
