‘Foxy’ meanwhile has a better MMA record than Aldana and will enter the UFC 264 fight with more confidence. The former Invicta women’s bantamweight champion made her UFC debut back in 2018. She faced the legendary Cris Cyborg in that fight and lost via a 1st round TKO. Since then Kunitskaya has performed admirably well losing just one of her next 5 fights.
Talking about this fight, many consider Aldana to be the favorite against Kunitskaya. Aldana is one of the best strikers in the bantamweight division and is also a great boxer. While ‘Foxy’ is much more of a grappler and grinder and would love to wear down Aldana.
Final Prediction: Irene Aldana defeats Yana Kunitskaya via unanimous decision.
