Media Aldana delivers apology for performance at 289

No need to apologize. People bought into the fake hype. This is exactly reminiscent of the Megan Andreson hype. So many parallels between them. I never drank the kool aid unlike all of crazy hype behind her based on beating soccer moms. I could not believe, Adesanya claimed her beautiful boxing would get her the victory over Nunes. There was also the Grasso-effect where everyone kept saying, since Grasso was destroying Valentina using her boxing, it translates to her team mate doing that with Nunes. I never believed that for a minute.

The Holly, Evinger, Correia, Pennington, Chookagian fights were evidence enough for me, of her mediocre skills and that she never stood a chance. You cannot apologize for something you don't have.

It's hard to know who to hype when "soccer moms" sums up 95 percent of them
 
Aldana, your inadequacy as a fighter is the reason why I didn’t pay for the pay-per-view last night.

To be fair Aldana's striking output dropped to about 33% or so of what it usually is, yeah we knew Aldana would likely get beat but who would've thought she'd look this bad up. She froze up.
 
@Dreyga Hates Alex Pereira you going to issue and apology for claiming she was going to ko Nunes easily?


Meh. How was I supposed to know she’d freeze up?

Had she fought like normal it would have been a competitive fight

Henry Cejudo and Isreal Adesanya made the pick too. It wasn’t a crazy pick

There are levels. She simply was not ready for Nunes. Freezing is a by-product of not being able to figure out how to be remotely competitive. Just like Megan Anderson. Her striking was always super mediocre who looked good against even more mediocre competition. She also zero ground game. I mean, WTF was up with her "face in her hands" strategy? How are you supposed to fight someone when you are covering your head with your hands?

Again, I challenge people to go back and watch the Holly, Evinger, Correia, Chookagian and Pennington fight and you will now totally see it in hindsight, how this was destined to happen. She was always mediocre who benefitted from the hype she received from her team mate Grasso beating Valentina. It is what I called Grasso-effect since Grasso destroyed Valentina with her boxing on the feet. The whole folklore of "Mexican boxing" being superior was born. Only when Valentina panic wrestled, she had some control over the fight.

10/10 times Nunes starches her everywhere.

Man that was a very bad night for Irene, hopefully she scores a great KO on her next fight to get some hype, this Nunes fight really hurt her stock. Still a fan tho.
