Ex-UFC strawweight Jessica Aguilar looking to address ‘unfinished business’ at XFC 43

BAD MMA News — Tue, 10 Nov 2020 14:27:09 +0000

Although a pioneer in women’s MMA, Jessica Aguilar is not satisfied with how her past few fights have gone. Aguilar (20-8), a former WSOF strawweight champion, came into the UFC in 2015 with a lot of momentum but never quite lived up to her potential. She went 1-4 in the octagon, with her lone win coming over Jodie Esquibel, before getting released from the promotion in May 2019. But Aguilar, who holds notable wins over former UFC strawweight champ Carla Esparza and Megumi Fujii twice, still has more to give and is ready for a new chapter in her career with Xtreme Fighting Championships (XFC). A longtime American Top Team member, Aguilar recently relocated to Houston and has been training at Main Street Boxing and Muay Thai in preparation for her fight against fellow ex-UFC strawweight Danielle Taylor Wednesday in the co-main event of XFC 43.

Jessica Aguilar proud to witness growth of women’s MMA: ‘We’re established’

BAD MMA News — Sat, 17 Oct 2020 01:01:42 +0000

Jessica Aguilar has seen it all unfold right before her eyes. The combat sports veteran is a witness to how far women have come in mixed martial arts. Aguilar (20-8) began fighting professionally in 2006, years before women took center stage in major promotions and way before women were competing in the UFC. Almost 15 years later, Aguilar is still fighting in the cage, but in a much different sport. Today, women have stakes in the biggest fights, events and moments in MMA. There is no major MMA organization that doesn’t have a women’s division on its roster
