TUF 23 competitor JJ Aldrich will make her UFC debut next Friday on just a weeks notice to face Juliana Lima in a women’s strawweight bout. Lima was originally scheduled to face the TUF 23 winner Tatiana Suarez, however Suarez had to pull out due to an injury. The new bout will take place on the prelims

Lima (8-3-0), who’s ranked No. 15 in UFC’s strawweight rankings, is looking to rebound from an April loss to former strawweight champion Carla Esparza. The loss ended her two-fight winning streak.

Aldrich (4-1-0) will be making her UFC debut a little more than two years into her pro career. She is on a three fight win streak, including a unanimous decision over Lynn Alvarez which took place at Invicta FC 20 just two weeks ago

UFC officials announced the changes today. UFC Fight Night 102 takes place Dec. 9 at Times Union Center in Albany, N.Y. The entire card streams live on UFC Fight Pass.
