UFC 289 UNDERCARD: FULL LIST OF FIGHTS BEFORE AMANDA NUNES VS. IRENE ALDANA MAIN EVENT

The UFC bantamweight title is on the line as Amanda Nunes defends her belt against Irene Aldana at UFC 289 on June 10. 

UFC 289 is in the Rogers Arena in Vancouver, British Columbia, the UFC's first visit to Canada since 2019. The fight airs on ESPN+ PPV in the U.S.

A UFC featherweight champion, Nunes held bantamweight gold from 2016 to 2021 before Julianna Pena beat her at UFC 269 via submission. “The Lioness” reclaimed the belt at UFC 277 in July, and the trilogy was booked for UFC 289. Pena would back out after breaking a rib. 

Nunes is ready to hold onto her belt for as long as she can.
