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.

Six Fights That Show Why July 2023 Could be the Best UFC Month of All Time

Posted on May 26, 2023 by A. J. Riot

The UFC is a sport that has its ebbs and flows. While some fans enjoy the weekly fight nights and the lower-tier bouts, for many fans, the excitement comes from the packed stadiums and watching the big names square off. For fans that love the biggest fights and the most incredible showcases, July is set to be a month that should not be missed out on.

July will feature two, I repeat, two separate major UFC events that will take place three weeks apart. With a packed slate of programming featuring several of the biggest fighters in the sport, fans and bettors alike will not want to miss out. Before you start wagering on these events on sportsbooks like PowerPlay betting, you’ll probably want the low-down on who’s fighting and who looks likely to emerge victorious. We’re here to help with a look at six of the main fights being held during UFC 290 and UFC 291 that have July poised to become maybe the best UFC month ever.

Volkanovski vs. Rodriguez

Alexander Volkanovski vs. Yair Rodriguez is the main event for UFC 290. It features a unification bout for the featherweight championship between the two current holders. This is an exciting fight because it marks Volkanovski’s return to the division that he has spent the past several years dominating. Volkanovski is an all-time great and will be the heavy favorite, but Rodriguez’s champion status was earned as well. It should be a tight battle, but all projections have Volkanovski triumphing. Can Rodriguez shock the world, or will Volk’s striking and all-around game be too much to handle? Keep Reading
