UFC 289: Nunes vs. Aldana

Posted on June 10, 2023 by A. J. Riot

On June 10th, the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) will return to Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, for UFC 289. We will finally see the return of women’s bantamweight champion Amanda Nunes.

For sports betting fans wishing to bet on this bout, check out betinasia.com/black/, one of the best sports trading platforms. Nunes puts her title on the line for the first time since reclaiming it in July by defeating Julianna Pena via knockout at UFC 277. Her opponent, Irene Aldana, is a born finisher who has also won her past three fights by knockout.

Nunes and Pena were supposed to finish their trilogy, but Pena’s injury gave Aldana her chance. Since becoming the dual champion and avenging her sole loss in eight years, Nunes has controlled the women’s bantamweight and featherweight categories with an iron hand.

Two things can happen at the end of the bout, both of which we will explain below.
