Amanda Nunes and Irene Aldana will go head to head in the main event of UFC 289 tonight, with the women’s bantamweight title on the line.
Brazilian Nunes, who also holds the featherweight belt, began her second reign with the bantamweight strap last year, outpointing Julianna Pena to regain the title that she lost in the pair’s first clash. The result of their initial fight is deemed one of the biggest upsets in UFC history, and the women were set for a trilogy bout here, until Pena suffered an injury.
