Here's the fight video of Ariane Lipski vs JJ Aldrich from last night's UFC show in Las Vegas. This fight is at Flyweight. Ariane has been a big disappointment in the UFC. She came in with a lot of hype from her days as champ in KSW. She's gone 3-5 in the UFC. After her last loss, she knew she had to do something or she would be on the chopping block. Ariane was training at American Top Team in Coconut Creek, FL. To get more personalized training, she went to Amanda Nunes' new gym and work with her coaches. Meanwhile JJ has gone 7-4 in the UFC. Basically, she's a striker with no power. She always wins by decision. She's a midcard fighter at best but she was the betting favorite. Ariane needed to win this fight. And she did. Ariane outstruck JJ for 15 minutes. She wobbled her once at the end of round one. When JJ tried to get Ariane in the clinch, she was met with knees. Her corner kept telling her to make adjustments. But JJ kept doing the same things and it wasn't working. Ariane won by unanimous decision 30-27. But it didn't make me think she could beat anyone who is any good. Check out the video for yourself.
