LOS ANGELES -- JJ Aldrich trains with Rose Namajunas and was on Joanna Jedrzejczyk’s team in “The Ultimate Fighter.”
It appears working with the greatest strawweight fighters in UFC history is rubbing off on the Colorado resident.
Aldrich employed a smart game plan against Polyana Viana on Saturday night at UFC 227 and was rewarded with it with her third consecutive victory. The judges’ scores at Staples Center were a pair of 29-28s and a 29-27 for a unanimous decision.
The opening round was something of a stalemate, with plenty of grinding clinch work.
