LAS VEGAS – One way or another, Irene Aldana had to make up for for her shortcomings leading up to Saturday’s fight. The UFC bantamweight contender failed to make weight for her bout against Yana Kunitskaya on the pay-per-view main card of UFC 264. Aldana (13-6 MMA, 6-4 UFC) won the bout in a dominant showing, stopping Kunitskaya (14-6 MMA, 4-3 UFC) by TKO in the first round. Aldana came into the bout 3.5 pounds over the limit. It was the first time in her UFC career she failed to make the bantamweight mark. And though Aldana explained the weight miss came down to circumstances outside of her control, the Mexican fighter still felt she needed to make up for the hiccup.
