Since the UFC WWE merger just happened, it would be great if they had Pena jump into the cage for a round six after the fight in some sort of tag team ****.

I really don't like being overly negative but Aldana absolutely does not belong there - it speaks volumes about the state of the division that the supposed GOAT hasn't been able to finish a vastly outmached opponent who has thrown a total of -4 strikes prior to the fourth round.

If Aldana finishes this in the 5th it will be the best comeback since Silva vs. Chael

Nunes should retire after that W. She's doesn't get better and i would absolutely love seeing peña cry forever about the 3rd fight she never gets 🤣

I took a gamble by picking Aldana, but man... I did not expect her to look this awful. Even Felicia Spencer put up more of a fight than Aldana and she got completely destroyed by Nunes. It seems that Aldana already seems to be content to be there. Asking for glovetouches before and after every round... weird mentality to have imo

Nah, if you look at Nunes's career she either finishes you in the 1st or takes you to decision. She conserves her gas and doesn't go for the finish if she doesn't get it done in the first.

I mean Nunes isn't immune to aging, theoretically if she stays around forever at some point we get to cash a ticket on her fight.

I told you that Irene Aldana had toughness, but not much else.
