Note: I have seen Albu mentioned in the past here and there and have seen the fight above but there has been very little information about her in the past, such as no listing on Sherdog or other fight finders. For these reasons I have not previously listed her on the
Women's MMA by Weight Class thread. I could not be sure her fights weren't some flavor of ammy such as semi-pro.

Kedzie vs. Albu should be a good fight. I am looking forward to seeing what Albu can do.
I recall reading from an earlier version of an interview that Albu wants to train the US before her debut in the UFC. Where would Albu like to train in the US?
I am curious.
