Morono has won two straight, finishing Zak Ottow with strikes in March and outpointing Kenan Song last November. He owns a 5-2 UFC record.
Aldrich (3-2 in the UFC) is coming off of her first loss in her last four appearances, a second-round knockout loss to Maycee Barber. Prior to that, the Ultimate Fighter 23 alum picked up consecutive wins over Polyana Viana, Danielle Taylor, and Chan Mi Jeon.
A Contender Series signee, Mueller is just 1-2 in the UFC so far having dropped her last two fights to Poliana Botelho and Yanan Wu.
