Aldana vs. Bernardo

This is the official discussion thread for Aldana vs. Bernardo. Let's see what you've got.

Talita Bernardo was more impressive in her loss I watched than watching Aldana loss to Chookagain, which rotted my brain.

bernardo is fighting mediocre competition and just got finished. aldana has gotten outpointed lately, but her boxing should still be too much. might be in trouble after r1 though, could become a close decision because she fades.

Bernardo is fighting a past 40 way over the hill school teacher in Renau. Granted Reneau's always been solid, but losing to her is not a good sign, and in the 3rd round. Aldana showed glimpses of her ability against better competition in the UFC, but has seemed to have trouble pulling the trigger. She always came out hard early in Invicta and put girls away, so maybe that's something she fell back on. When she lets her hands go she has some of the best hand speed and power in the division. I'll go with Aldana by early TKO.

Irene Aldana is not an excellent kickboxer, but she at least doesn't constantly back herself up to the fence when met with flurries of punches. Talita did just that against Marion and stayed there. Combine that with Irene's ability to fight at a high pace for all 3 rounds, and you get a human punching-bag.
