Amanda Nunes vs Julianne Peña canceled

Amanda Nunes vs Julianne Peña canceled

The completion of the trilogy between Amanda Nunes and Julianne Peña has been postponed indefinitely due to a rib injury that the American received in training.

The new headliner of the UFC 289 tournament, which will take place on June 10 in Vancouver, is Irene Aldana, who occupies the fifth line in the ranking of the organization’s women’s bantamweight division. On May 20, the Mexican was supposed to headline the UFC Fight Night 224 tournament in Las Vegas along with Raquel Pennington, and it is not yet known which fight will become the new main event of the event.

34-year-old Irene Aldana is on a two stoppage streak, finishing with knockouts to Yana Santos and Maisie Chiasson.

34-year-old Amanda Nunes returns to the octagon after two title fights with Julianne Peña, in the first of which the Brazilian sensationally lost by rear naked choke in the second round, and in the second she took revenge, winning by unanimous decision.
