Tracy Cortez vs. J.J. Aldrich booked for UFC Fight Night on Aug. 28

A women’s flyweight matchup is the latest addition to UFC Fight Night on Aug. 28.

Tracy Cortez is set to meet J.J. Aldrich at an event that doesn’t have a publicly known location or venue at this time.

Two people with knowledge of the matchup informed MMA Junkie of the booking Wednesday but asked to remain anonymous as the promotion has yet to make an official announcement.

Unbeaten in the UFC, Cortez (9-1 MMA, 3-0 UFC) has won her past nine fights overall. After picking up two wins over Vanessa Melo and Stephanie Egger at 135 pounds, the Dana White’s Contender Series alum moved back down to flyweight, edging out Justine Kish at UFC on ESPN 22 in April.

Since moving back up to 125 pounds, Aldrich (9-4 MMA, 5-3 UFC) has split her past four appearances with wins over Lauren Mueller and most recently a split decision over Cortney Casey at UFC Fight Night 187 in March.

With the addition, the UFC Fight Night lineup for Aug. 28 includes:

  • Gerald Meerschaert vs. Makhmud Muradov
  • Sara McMann vs. Ketlen Vieira
  • Joselyne Edwards vs. Zarah Fairn
  • Kevin Croom vs. Marcelo Rojo
  • Mario Bautista vs. Guido Cannetti
  • Jamall Emmers vs. Pat Sabatini
  • Dustin Jacoby vs. Askar Mozharov
  • J.J. Aldrich vs. Tracy Cortez
