JJ Aldrich picked up a hard-fought unanimous decision victory over Jamie-Lynn Horth at UFC Winnipeg on April 18, with all three judges scoring the women's flyweight bout 29-28 in the American's favor.
Aldrich, ranked 15th in the women's flyweight division, has now won back-to-back fights and moves her professional record to 15-7. The 33-year-old southpaw from the United States stands five-foot-five with a 67-inch reach and has built her game around consistent striking output, averaging 3.96 significant strikes per minute at a 47 percent accuracy rate. She is not a prolific grappler by the numbers, but her well-rounded approach has kept her a fixture in the division's rankings.
Horth entered the bout riding a two-fight winning streak of her own, but that momentum was halted by the judges' verdict. The Canadian fighter saw her run come to an end on home soil in Winnipeg.
Why it matters
- Aldrich's second straight win strengthens her standing at number 15 in the flyweight rankings and keeps her in the conversation for a higher-profile matchup.
- Horth's first loss after two consecutive victories signals that she may need another win before pressing for a ranked opponent.
- The 29-28 scorecards across all three judges suggest a closely contested fight with Aldrich edging each round without pulling away decisively.
