With stitches out, Irene Aldana shows incredible recovery after UFC 306
Does Irene Aldana possess a superhuman healing factor akin to a Marvel character? Fellow UFC fighter Angela Hill certainly thinks so, commenting, “Wolverine ????” on Aldana’s Instagram post after she revealed her recovery from brutal injuries suffered at UFC 306. Aldana, 35, shared a selfie video showcasing her progress after removing stitches from deep cuts on her forehead, nose, and eye area.
Devastating Injuries at UFC 306
Just two weeks earlier, Aldana fought Norma Dumont at UFC 306 in Las Vegas. Although Aldana (15-8 MMA, 8-6 UFC) lost the fight by unanimous decision, the most discussed aspect of the match was the severe injuries she sustained. Fans were left shocked by the deep cuts on her face, which many called some of the worst in UFC history.
The injuries occurred early in the fight when Aldana and Dumont collided heads, opening up a large gash on Aldana’s forehead. Over the next three rounds, Dumont continued to target the wound, causing it to worsen. Despite the pain, Aldana displayed remarkable toughness and fought through to the final bell. After the fight, Aldana posted a video on Instagram showing multiple stitches and a swollen-shut eye.

Fast Recovery Impresses Fans
In her most recent update, Aldana showed impressive progress, with her cuts healing faster than many expected. This remarkable recovery drew admiration from fans and fellow fighters alike. Hill’s comment about her “Wolverine” healing ability reflected the general amazement at how quickly Aldana’s injuries were mending.
With the stitches removed, Aldana looks almost back to normal. Despite the gruesome nature of her injuries, her positive attitude and resilience have shone through, showing that she’s still focused on her fighting career.
What’s Next for Aldana?
Aldana’s future in UFC looks promising, despite the setback at UFC 306. Known for her warrior spirit, she remains determined to bounce back from the loss. Rumors suggest that Aldana might require plastic surgery to minimize scar tissue, which could prevent future injuries from reopening the same wounds.
While some fans have expressed concerns about her continuing in the sport after suffering such brutal injuries, Aldana was quick to shut down any talk of retirement. One concerned fan commented on her Instagram, urging her to retire, to which Aldana cheekily responded, “You retire :)”.
The UFC community is eager to see when Aldana will return to the octagon. Although there is no official word on her next fight, her determination to recover and compete again has won her even more respect within the MMA world.
