Back in August of 2015, former World Series of Fighting strawweight champion<\/a> Jessica Aguilar made her long-awaited debut in the UFC’s Octagon. Her opponent in this Octagon debut was top ranked contender Claudia Gadelha.<\/p>\n

Regrettably for Aguilar and her fans, Gadelha came out on top that night, capturing a hard-fought unanimous decision win. Almost two years later, however, the loss still bothers Aguilar, as she was dealing with a fairly serious injury throughout the fight. Given this unfortunate hinderance to her performance, she’s been eager for a rematch with Gadelha ever since.<\/p>\n

“If [Galdeha] is on that path [to the title], then yeah, let\u2019s do it again,\u201d Aguilar said of a Gadelha rematch on the latest edition of BJ Penn Radio.<\/a> \u201cI guarantee that this time around the results are going to be different. I made a mistake last time and I went in with an injury, which is my fault. I take full responsibility for it, but the next time around, I\u2019ll make sure that I\u2019m 100% and the result will be different.”<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cNot go into the fight injured,\u201d Aguilar continued when asked what she\u2019d do differently in a rematch with Brazilian. I went in with a top contender, with the number one contender, and she couldn\u2019t finish me with a broken foot! With all due respect \u2013 I respect Claudia and I think she\u2019s an amazing fighter \u2013 but if I was the top contender? We\u2019re about finishing. Finish the fight. So that\u2019ll be the difference.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Aguilar has not been seen in the Octagon since this unfortunate loss to Gadelha, having been sidelined with injuries over the last year and a half. That said, she is targeting a return to action at UFC 211 this May 13 \u2013 provided she can find a willing opponent.<\/a><\/p>\n

Gadelha is currently scheduled for a UFC 212 scrap with fellow contender Karolina Kowalkiewicz.<\/p>\n
