Andrea Lee: Vet on five-fight losing skid
Andrea Lee (13-10) has remarkably lost her last five fights in the UFC and the veteran is in desperate need of a win. All five of those losses have come via the judges’ scorecards and two of those have been split decisions so the negative run appears worse on paper than in reality. She simply does have to win here at UFC Fight Night 253 to stay relevant in the organisation.
JJ Aldrich: Colorado native eager to bounce back from loss
JJ Aldrich (13-7) is coming off a unanimous decision loss at the hands of Veronica Hardy back in May so she will be eager to bounce back to winning ways in Las Vegas this weekend. Prior to that, she enjoyed successive wins over Liang Na and Montana De La Rosa. A win here is essential and keeping her relevant and will push her back in top 15 contention.
Andrea Lee vs JJ Aldrich Prediction
It is not very often that you see a fighter in the UFC that his last five fights in succession still getting opportunities to fight but that is exactly the case for Andrea Lee coming into UFC Fight Night 253.
She simply has to win this fight against JJ Aldrich but it is very hard to see a way in which she can snap this miserable run of defeats.
Aldrich Is under pressure herself to get the win after losing last time out and she simply has to be favoured to get the W here. Expect Aldrich to win by decision.
Prediction: JJ Aldrich to win via decision
