Sabina Mazo vs. J.J. Aldrich added to UFC 246 lineup in Las Vegas

A women’s flyweight bout is the latest addition to UFC 246.

Sabina Mazo(7-1 MMA, 1-1 UFC) will take on J.J. Aldrich (8-3 MMA, 4-2 UFC) on Jan. 18 at the UFC’s first pay-per-view event of 2020.

UFC 246 takes place Jan. 18 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on ESPN and early prelims on UFC Fight Pass/ESPN+.

Mazo was initially scheduled to take on Ji Yeon Kim at UFC on ESPN+ 23 in Busan, but an injury forced Kim out of the fight, and the bout was subsequently removed from the card. The “Colombian Queen” suffered her first career blemish at the hands of Maryna Moroz in her UFC debut in March, but was able to rebound with a unanimous decision win over Shana Dobson at UFC 241.

Aldrich saw her momentum take a halt when Maycee Barber snapped her three-fight winning streak with a second-round TKO in March. In her most recent outing, Aldrich bounced back with a unanimous decision win over Lauren Mueller in October and will be making a relatively quick turnaround when she takes on Mazo, a former LFA flyweight champion.

With the addition, the latest UFC 246 lineup includes:

• Conor McGregor vs. Donald Cerrone
• Holly Holm vs. Raquel Pennington
• Diego Ferreira vs. Anthony Pettis
• Maycee Barber vs. Roxanne Modafferi
• Drew Dober vs. Nasrat Haqparast
• Grant Dawson vs. Chas Skelly

• Claudia Gadelha vs. Alexa Grasso
