Andrea Lee announced on Instagram yesterday that she will face Ashlee Evans-Smith at UFC on ESPN 1 Feb. 17 at the Talking Stick Resort Arena in Phoenix. Lauren Murphy was announced for this last week but she has pulled out due to injury. This fight is at Flyweight. Andrea was supposed to fight on last week's UFC show but Jessica-Rose Clark got sick and the fight was cancelled. Andrea is 29 years old from Shreveport, LA. Her record is 9-2 and 1-0 in the UFC. She is a former LFA champ and an Invicta veteran. Of course she has been in the news recently after her husband and coach Donny Aaron was charged with domestic violence. I think he is still at large. I don't think Andrea has changed camps. They have other coaches there. And Andrea's best friend and teammate Atomweight fighter and RIZIN veteran Andy Nguyen lives with her. Andrea is popular because of her sex appeal and charisma. She's a midcard fighter because she hasn't beaten anyone good yet. And Ashlee probably isn't any better than her previous opponents. But at least the UFC was able to find her a fight quickly.
