UFC 289: ‘Nunes vs. Aldana’ Weigh-in Results
UFC 289 takes place tomorrow, June 10th at the Rogers Arena in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
It will be the first time in almost 4 years that the Ultimate Fighting Championship has landed on Canadian soil.
Headlining the event is a bantamweight title fight between Amanda Nunes (22-5 MMA) and Irene Aldana (14-6 MMA).
Nunes, 35, was originally scheduled to fight in a much-anticipated trilogy match-up with Julianna Pena (11-5 MMA) at UFC 289, but that had to be called off due to ‘The Venezuelan Vixen’ suffering an injury. Aldana stepped in and will be fighting for the belt. The 35-year-old Aldana is sporting 2 victories in her last 2 fights in the Octagon, defeating Yana Santos (14-7 MMA) and Macy Chiasson (8-3 MMA).
The co-main of UFC 289 event will see Charles Oliveira (33-9 MMA) taking on Beneil Dariush (22-4 MMA) in a lightweight battle.
Oliveira, 33, is looking to get back into the win column after his recent loss to Islam Makhachev (24-1 MMA) last October at UFC 280. Dariush, 34, is on an 8-fight winning streak, his latest victory coming against Mateusz Gamrot (22-2 MMA) also at UFC 280.
