Hah! looks like I didn't call this one so well. Didn't see the leg kicks being such a big part and Aldana having no clue how to check a leg kick after decades of fighting at the highest level. Smh

Mind boggling to me Aldana managed to get a title shot and yet she has never heard of a leg kick

Rosa looks amazing, but Aldana is not a quitter. For once I agree with DC. She should go for calfkicks instead, otherwise Aldana will still be a threat until the three rounds are over
