Irene Aldana Is Such A Bada$$

[Mohawk Banditó]

A lot of people freeze against Amanda. She hits like a truck and has good timing. She can make you pay in a way that others can’t.

Exactly. So I don't subscribe to this idea that she's just proven lower level and that's that.

 

[RockyLockridge]

Dude, before her win against Amanda her best win was Sara McMann. She got submitted on the ground by Germaine de Randamie before that.

Germaine de Randamie. The striker. She's not that good.

Her last fight was a loss to Amanda a year and a half ago. They're not going to give her a title shot until she fights someone.

She says they tried to give her this one in january but she couldn't due to injury. if I recall correctly she said that she's fighting for the title next and the UFC really didn't want to make raquel vs marayna.

not sure how much of that is bullshit but that's what she said, if I recall.

The fact you're saying they aren't going to give her a title shot is laughable though. the last title fight with aldana was supposed to be her. so she already had one on lock.

She's still at the top and the division has not moved.

 

[CroCopsLHK]

She put on the fight we all came to see

I'm just baffled by her boxer heavy style. No kicks or grappling. It worked for her tho but she took a licking

Yea, that's because it was Amanda, and she had a victory against Amanda. So it was a fight that would sell. Amanda's gone now, however. She's got nothing now. No more leverage.

shes still the only BW on the roster with a win over amanda.

That is much more leverage than Ketlan Viera or Holly Holm currently hold.


you seem to ignore at WBW, Pena has no contemporaries.

Same few dorks keeping dream of WMMA alive on Sherdog, god bless you virgins

You're greatly over estimating her value, just like she does to herself.

 

[KnockoutsGalore1]

Very glad to see the bounce back after a pitiful performance against Nunes. But, she's still got some to prove before she can reach that elite level.

 

[Iconoclast]

Agreed. Huge admirer of her career and her fighting spirit.

That's what would happen to Pena lol. Pena is way too sloppy to hang with Aldana.

Pena beat Nunes. If we're gonna compare past fights, Aldana fought scared vs Nunes. Pena straight up walked her down.

Even though Pena got her ass beat in the rematch, she still went after it.

The difference in mentality would play a part if they ever fight.

She's also the only BW without a single win over anyone on the current roster.

 

[Senzo Tanaka]

Wish she had those guts in the Nunes fight. It’s unbelievable to me when someone gets a title shot and the chance of a lifetime and end up doing nothing. Especially when they go and have fights that that.

Peña beat Nunes with cardio and toughness. Aldana had that in her and wasted it.

GDR is good for a part timer. She has a full time job on top of her MMA gig. She is a purple belt on the ground just like Pena but she is more athletic.

Pena's a sloppy brawler who'd get ko'd coming in.

I didn't say she's not good, but her ground game is not what she's known for.

 

[AmonTobin]

Back to form. Too bad that badass didn't show up for the Nunes showdown. And kudos to Rosa for an equally gritty performance.

Nunes couldn't KO her. Pena got that dawg in her.

Actually i don't think Pena ever been knocked out

We just might need a WMMA BMF belt with performances like that.
