Andrea Lee marked an unfortunate milestone in her career, suffering a unanimous decision defeat to J.J. Aldrich at UFC Vegas 103 on Saturday.
This fight resulted in Lee’s sixth successive loss in the octagon, a new low for the women’s division. Previously, she shared the record of five straight losses with four other fighters. Across the entire UFC, only Tony Ferguson, with eight losses, and B.J. Penn, with seven, have experienced longer losing streaks.
Despite her efforts, Lee was unable to reverse her fortunes in this latest appearance, succumbing to Aldrich in a fight dominated by her opponent.
Aldrich effectively utilized a consistent two-punch combination, which posed significant problems for Lee throughout the bout. These direct strikes repeatedly breached Lee’s defense and even led to a quick knockdown for Aldrich early in the fight.
Trailing after two rounds, Lee attempted a comeback in the final round with a takedown and a guillotine choke submission attempt. However, she couldn’t maintain control over Aldrich, who successfully escaped on both occasions.
Aldrich continued to strike from a distance until the final bell. The judges awarded the victory to Aldrich with scores of 30-27, 30-27, and 29-28, leaving Lee’s future in the UFC uncertain.
Should this be Lee’s final UFC appearance, she would conclude her run with an overall record of 5 wins and 9 losses.
