Finally earns first UFC victory
Ardelean defeated Rayanne Amanda via unanimous decision (30-27, 29-28, 29-28) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Dropping decisions to Shauna Bannon and Melissa Martinez in her first two UFC bouts, Ardelean was almost certainly looking at a release if she came up short here, and to her credit, she simply outworked Amanda over the course of 15 minutes. Ardelean attempted a ridiculous 359 total strikes, landing 159 of them. There were very few notable blows in the bunch, but the sheer volume was enough for Alice to finally get in the UFC win column. At 33 years old, this is almost certainly a one-off as opposed to a sign of things to come, but Ardelean should be guaranteed another bout with the company after this victory. She'll also walk away with a $50,000 bonus after this opening bout was awarded Fight of the Night honors.

Scheduled against Amanda
Ardelean is scheduled to compete against Rayanne Amanda in a strawweight fight at UFC Vegas 107 on May 31, per Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
Ardelean was scheduled to fight Amanda at UFC Vegas 99. But after the latter withdrew because of an arm injury, Melissa Martinez stepped in and outlasted the former. Ardelean is still looking for her first UFC win after an 0-2 start with the promotion.

Still searching for first UFC win
Ardelean lost to Melissa Martinez via unanimous decision (27-30, 27-30, 27-30) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
This was a strange fight. Ardelean was the more active competitor and closed with a 92-72 edge in significant strikes landed, but it was Martinez who connected on the bigger blows, earning a sweep on the judges' scorecards as a result. It's important to remember Ardelean went 4-5 in her first nine professional fights. She had zero history of success on the regional scene prior to her UFC arrival, so it shouldn't come as much of a surprise that she's struggled at the highest level. A loser in each of her first two bouts with the company, Ardelean needs a win her next time out to ensure her roster spot is safe.

ANALYSIS
Ardelean will stay put on the UFC Vegas 99 card by taking on Martinez. Both strawweights are looking for their first UFC win, the former looking to bounce back after dropping a split decision to Shauna Bannon.
