Aleksandra Albu vs Emily Whitmire added to Jan. 26 UFC show

Marcel Dorff of MMA DNA reported today and the UFC Russia Twitter account has confirmed that Aleksandra Albu vs Emily Whitmire has been added to UFC 233 Jan. 26 at the Honda Center in Anaheim, CA. This fight will be at Strawweight. Believe it or not Aleksandra has been in the UFC since 2013. But she is only 2-0 due to a couple of injuries. We last saw her in July 2017 and both fighters that she beat are no longer in the UFC. She looked good in those fights but her opponents were terrible. Alexsandra is 28 years old from Moscow, Russia. Emily probably isn't much better than those two. She is 27 years old from Hillsboro, OR. She trains at Xtreme Couture in Las Vegas. Her record is 3-2. Emily was in TUF 26 which was for Flyweights. But before that she fought at Strawweight. And her first UFC win over Jamie Moyle was also at Strawweight. I'm not sure if either of them belong in the UFC. And I doubt this fight will answer that question.
