Amanda Nunes will get high billing for the promotional artwork of the UFC’s return to Canada in June.
Nunes places her freshly regained bantamweight title on the road in opposition to Irene Aldana in the principle occasion of UFC 289, which takes place June 10 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Aldana steps in for the injured Julianna Peña in what’s her first shot at UFC gold.

Nunes, the No. 1 pound-for-pound fighter in MMA Fighting’s Global Rankings — grew to become a two-time bantamweight champ with a dominant determination win over Peña at UFC 277 this previous July, avenging her first loss in practically 9 years. Aldana will get her shot on the title following back-to-back stoppage victories over Yana Santos and Macy Chiasson.
Within the co-main occasion, Beneil Dariush seems to be to solidify a light-weight championship alternative as he faces former titleholder Charles Oliveira.
