Two-division UFC champion Amanda Nunes puts her bantamweight belt on the line against Mexican challenger Irene Aldana in the main-card fight of the UFC 289 at the Rogers Arena in Vancouver, Canada, on Saturday night.
The most decorated female fighter in UFC history, Nunes recaptured the belt with a July 2022 win over Julianna Pena.
Aldana (14-6-0) replaced Pena, who was scheduled to face Nunes (22-5-0) for the third time to settle scores but suffered a rib injury in training camp before the fight.
Former UFC lightweight champion Charles Oliveira squares off against Beneil Dariush in the co-main event.
