Jessica Aguilar out of UFC 197 bout with Juliana Lima

An important fight in the women's strawweight division has been put on the back burner due to an injury. Jessica Aguilar, the former World Series of Fighting 115-pound champ, has had her second UFC fight cancelled because of a knee ailment she suffered in training. She was set to fight Juliana Lima.

The UFC is looking for a replacement so Lima can stay on the April 23rd card. Lima (8-2, 2-1 UFC) dropped a bout to current champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk in her debut, but has picked up decision wins over Nina Ansaroff and Ericka Almeida since then.
