A press release was sent out this morning announcing the card for UFC on ESPN+ 19 Oct. 12 at the Amalie Arena in Tampa, FL. A match not previously announced has JJ Aldrich vs Lauren Mueller. Lauren confirmed this on Instagram. This fight will be at Flyweight. JJ is 26 years old from Denver. She is a teammate of Rose Namajunas under coach Trevor Wittman. He's a great coach. She's a midcard fighter at best. Her record is 7-3 and 3-2 in the UFC. She's a points fighter. In her last fight, she won round one over Maycee Barber. But then Maycee caught up to JJ and won by second round TKO. I thought Wittman gave JJ a great plan for one round. But I didn't think JJ would get away with it for three rounds. Lauren could present similar problems. She is 27 years old and she trains at Alliance in San Diego. Since winning a UFC contract on Dana White Tuesday Night Contender Series in 2017, Lauren has gone 1-2 in the UFC. In her last fight, she lost the first two rounds to Poliana Botelho. Lauren scored a knockdown in round three and had a chance to finish but she followed Poliana to the ground and Poliana was able to kill enough time to survive. So now after two losses, Lauren needs a win. I liked her on DWTNCS but she needs to be more aggressive right from the start. I like her chances if she does that.
