Jessica Aguilar will take on Juliana Lima at UFC 198, which could be headlined by a title fight between Fabricio Werdum and Stipe Miocic.
Former World Series of Fighting strawweight Champion, Jessica Aguilar will get a second chance to earn her first UFC victory once again in hostile territory when she meets Juliana Lima next May, as Combate reported.
In her first outing, Aguilar dropped a unanimous decision to current number contender Claudia Gadelha, back in August at UFC 190. The loss snapped a 10-fight winning streak that dated back to 2010 with wins over standouts such as Megumi Fuji and former UFC strawweight champion, Carla Esparza.
Unlike Aguilar, Lima will actually look to make it three in a row when she steps in the Octagon. She comes from two unanimous decision wins over Nina Ansaroff and Ericka Almeida. Her sole UFC loss was to current UFC champion, Joanna Jedrzejczyk in 2014.
Jessica Aguilar and Juliana Lima are scheduled to fight at UFC 198, which goes down on May 14 in Brazil, though the host city has not been announced yet. A title fight between Fabricio Werdum and Stipe Miocic has been targeted to headline the card.
