Jessica Aguilar signs with the UFC, meets Claudia Gadelha in Brazil

[Wild]

Jessica Aguilar asked to be released from World Series of Fighting in order to enter the UFC, and she got what she wanted.

The American Top Team fighter has signed a deal with the UFC, and will make her promotional debut against top contender Claudia Gadelha at Rio de Janeiro’s UFC 190on Aug. 1, sources told MMAFighting.com. Combate first reported the news.

Aguilar (19-4), who won and defended the WSOF strawweight championship twice, enters the bout riding a 10-fight winning streak, including a victory over former UFC champion Carla Esparza.

Gadelha (12-1) looks to bounce back from the first loss of her professional career, a close split-decision defeat against current UFC champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk. The Nova Uniao strawweight was expected to return against Aisling Daly in April, but withdrew from the bout with a back injury.

IMO she should be fighting for the title right away. All former champs should be given that right imo.

I dont agree, i think she should spank a few asses before she gets a title shot. Hell Phil Brooks was a champion should he get a title fight LOL dont answer that.

Nice. Women's strawweight is looking pretty good. Plenty of exciting matchups.

 

[La Paix]

My first thought.

 

[kneeblock]

Women's strawweight is much deeper than bantamweight.

 

[Shy Guy]

I have Claudia in this fight.

 

[sparkuri]

I've always liked her

I have Claudia in this fight.

I can't decide who I think wins it, but it will be a great fight. In my opinion, she's the only one that can immediately challenge Joanna.
