Lauren Mueller is now on the UFC roster.
Mueller earned her contract by defeating Kelly Velasco via unanimous decision. The bout took place on Dana White’s Tuesday Night Contender Series 8 last night (Aug. 29). Mueller had been an alternate on “The Ultimate Fighter” season 26, but never made it to the show.
She explained how that ended up working in her favor:
“I tried out for ‘TUF’ and they made me an alternate, so that actually worked for my advantage. Because this whole time, the whole six weeks those girls were fighting for ‘TUF,’ I was still training in hopes to get on the show. So I was ready to go when I got the call for this.”
