Challenger for the bantamweight belt (up to 61,2kg.), Irene aldana gave a different performance than what she is used to presenting in the Octagon. Without causing danger to Amanda nunes and with no response to the strategy used by the champion, the Mexican was dominated for five rounds and did not take advantage of the first chance she had to win the title. On her social networks, the fighter praised her rival and promised to come back stronger.

“It was an honor to face Amanda nunes, incredible athlete and fighter. Best ever.

I'm sorry I failed my coaches and all of you, I guarantee it won't stay that way... It was a bad night. But the objective is still clear and the objective is still that 4th belt… I promised and I will fulfill it… whatever the cost.

I have already identified this blockage, I know what I have to do and it will NOT happen again… I give you my word! I will be back for all the people who believe in me. If I learned anything from this sport, it was to always get up. For now I'm going to get back to the gym as soon as possible and work hard to earn that second chance.

Always thank you everyone for so much support and love... and especially thanks to my coaches and my entire team for being at the foot of the volcano in good times and bad. The promise is especially for you,” wrote Aldana.
