Madden: Honestly, for Nunes, I think it can be wherever she wants if she shows up, but specifically, I would like to see her fight southpaw like she did in the Pena rematch. Aldana has struggled with it a little bit in the past, and I think, for her, that lines up her right hook over the top of the jab, and I think she can time that. Her fighting from the southpaw stance is going to set up her left high kick really well, too.
Kyte: And for Aldana?

Madden: It’s gotta be on the feet — she needs to work behind her jab, move, and let Nunes know she’s in there with someone that isn’t going to cave under the pressure.
Kyte: It’s the Pena blueprint, right? Pena’s striking isn’t precise, isn’t clean, isn’t technical, but she got in Nunes’ face, stuck the jab out there, and it rattled Nunes, and Aldana has to see that and think, “I can do that! I’m a better striker than her!”
