Amanda Nunes has a new UFC 289 title challenger, nixing her trilogy vs. Julianna Pena – at least for now.
With Peña (11-5 MMA, 7-3 UFC) out of the June 10 pay-per-view main event due to broken ribs, Mexican bantamweight Irene Aldana (14-6 MMA, 7-4 UFC) will step in to fight Nunes (22-3 MMA, 15-3 UFC) and challenge for the UFC women’s bantamweight title. The card takes place at Rogers Arena in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
