Irene Aldana went through one of the most difficult moments of her career at UFC 306 in September of this year. The Mexican fighter was defeated by Norma Dumont by unanimous decision, but what drew the most attention was the deep cut on her face, a result of precise strikes from the Brazilian.
The injury, which became one of the most impressive of the event, raised concerns about the fighter's recovery time. However, against all expectations, Irene Aldana had a surprising recovery and posted images of her progress on social media.
