Amanda Nunes will defend her bantamweight title in the main event of UFC 289 tonight, fighting an in-form and inspired Irene Aldana.
Brazilian Nunes, who also holds featherweight gold, regained the bantamweight title from Julianna Pena last year, outpointing the American to avenge a shock submission loss from 2021. Meanwhile, Aldana is pursuing a third straight victory and aiming to join Brandon Moreno, Alexa Grasso and Yair Rodriguez as the fourth incumbent UFC champion from Mexico.
