Jessica Aguilar knew what her future held from the moment the UFC announced the addition of its strawweight division in early 2014.
At the time, she was content in her deal with World Series of Fighting. She wanted to do her job there, but in the back of her mind, she knew the UFC would soon have the world’s best fighters in her division.
Aguilar fought three times in 2014, beating Alida Gray, Emi Fujino and Kalindra Faria. But as 2015 kicked off, Aguilar knew it was time. She wanted to face the best fighters her division had to offer, and they were all in the UFC.
