I'm so glad she was able to redeem herself. I mean what a fight. It's crazy neither lady went down with how hard they were going at each other.

She should fight Pena now since they're doing that vacant fight between Silva and Pennington. I hope she doesn't sit out.

I would love to see Aldana knock Pena's entitled, loudmouth head right off her shoulders.

Wouldn't happen pena would walk through her
 
She just lost EVERY SINGLE ROUND to Nunes. 2 judges scored her losing 10-8 in the last round, and one judge had her losing 10-8 in BOTH rounds 4 AND 5.

Even if she wins, she's demonstrated she's got a markedly lower level of mma skills, along with most of the other WBW's compared to what we've seen in the recent past.

Being a big fan, I was so disappointed with her non-performance against Nunes. Even then, she still manage to land a counter-left(I believe it was) that would have knocked anyone else on their ass.
But my lord did she come back in a big way. I think she wanted to wash the bad taste of her last fight more than anything. She did that and more. That was just fun to watch.

Did you come here just to shit on her? Yes, we know, she did nothing against Amanda. Doesn't mean she's not a badass.

Was it a poor skill level on display or her poor preformance, cuz I thought the majority of criticism was her completely freezing up and not throwing.

Feel like that's a very different line in the sand, like how anyone can say Nunes was low level in her loss to Peña. Nah, she just didn't show up

Yea we were all disappointed in that. Hopefully she can make another run at the title.

That fight made me so happy. Besides the fact that it was just an absolute barnburner, it also completely redeemed Irene Aldana. I was very disappointed by her tentative performance in her title shot, and this fight she definitely seemed like she had something to prove. Amazing fight.

She has a weird tendency to not show up in big fights, unfortunately. Her fight with Holly Holm she fought similarly timid. It was dreadful. Still a big fan, but i await a big performance propelling her into contention again and, hopefully, she can get it done. I could see a fight with Pena being a slobberknocker for the ages, tbh.

Well Aldana has good boxing and she's very tough. I guess my biggest criticism of her is that she doesn't have much of a ground game and she doesn't seem to know how to check leg kicks. I was rooting for her against Rosa, glad she won.
