Irene Aldana disagrees with scoring in Katlyn Chookaigan loss, eyes ‘Rocky’ comeback in next fight

The Mexican fighter, who was picked up from Invicta FC and signed to the UFC last November, currently finds herself winless inside the Octagon. Aldana suffered a unanimous decision loss in her promotional debut against Leslie Smith, which won ‘Fight of the Night’ honors, and most recently dropped a controversial split-decision to Katlyn Chookagian last month at UFC 210.

Aldana recalls feeling shocked after hearing that the judges at UFC 210 scored the bout for Chookagian. The Lobo Gym fighter believes she did enough to win the contest according to the updated Unified Rules of MMA, which were implemented that night in Buffalo, N.
