Info on ALdrige fight

Jeon is a 19 year old South Korean fighter who is stepping up to take this fight on less than 2 week’s notice. Her 5-0 record might look impressive on paper, but if you dig a little deeper you’ll see that 4 of those wins came against fighters who were 0-0. All 4 of those fighters share one thing in common in that they have NEVER won a pro MMA fight. Her most recent win came against a 45 year old woman who had a Pro MMA record of 19-22. This in itself is bad, but it’s made worse by the fact that the 45 year old returned to action after a 3 year layoff to face Jeon. Even more alarming is the fact that she was on a 7 fight losing streak going into her fight against Jeon.

Chan Mi Jeon’s MMA record clearly shows that up until this point in her career she has only gained a very limited amount of experience competing against a very low level of opponent. Aldrich on the other hand has completed several training camps at excellent MMA gyms in Colorado with high level fighters such as Rose Namajunas and Valentina Shevchenko. She has also done an intense 6 week camp on the Ultimate Fighter with Joanna Jedrzejczyk as her coach where she is bound to have learned a lot.
