Originally scheduled to face bantamweight Marion Reneau on Sept. 21, “Robles” will now battle promotional newcomer Vanessa Melo at the Fight Night show in Mexico, the UFC announced Wednesday following a report by Ag. Fight.
Melo (10-5) signed with the UFC after winning five in a row since Sept. 2018, capped off by a decision win over Jan Finney at Battlefield FC 2 in China. “Miss Simpatia” has yet to be paid by the Asian promotion.
Aldana (10-5) recently had a three-fight winning streak snapped by Raquel Pennington at UFC on ESPN 4.
