Regina Tarin and JJ Aldrich have been booked for a women's flyweight clash at Noche UFC on September 12, adding another noteworthy matchup to the growing card.
Tarin, nicknamed "Kill Bill," enters the bout as one of the sport's most exciting unbeaten prospects. The 21-year-old holds a perfect 8-0-0 record and brings an aggressive offensive output to the octagon, landing an eye-catching 7.6 significant strikes per minute at 47 percent accuracy. Standing five-foot-seven with a 66-inch reach, the southpaw also supplements her striking with one takedown per 15 minutes, giving her a well-rounded threat profile despite her young age.
Aldrich, ranked 15th in the women's flyweight division, brings a wealth of experience to counter Tarin's youth and momentum. The 33-year-old American holds a 15-7-0 professional record and has been a fixture in the flyweight ranks for years. Fighting out of a southpaw stance, she stands five-foot-five with a 67-inch reach and lands 3.96 significant strikes per minute at 47 percent accuracy, demonstrating consistent output across her UFC tenure.
Why it matters
- Tarin arrives undefeated at 8-0-0 and could force her way into the flyweight rankings with a victory over a ranked opponent
- Aldrich at No. 15 represents a legitimate test that would validate or reset Tarin's upward trajectory
- Both fighters share the same stance and identical striking accuracy, making timing and ring generalship key differentiators
- The all-southpaw matchup at similar accuracy rates sets up a technical, pressure-based striking contest
