Amanda Nunes vs. When does Irene Aldana start tonight in the UK and US?

Amanda Nunes and Irene Aldana face off in the main event of tonight’s UFC 289, with the women’s bantamweight title on the line.

Nunes, a Brazilian who also holds the featherweight belt, began her second reign with the bantamweight belt last year, defeating Juliana Pena to regain the title she lost in the duo’s first clash. The result of the opening fight is considered the biggest upset in UFC history, and the women were set up for a trilogy here until Pena’s injury.

So Aldana is looking for a third straight win and aims to become the fourth Mexican champion in UFC history, joining the trio of Brandon Moreno, Alexa Grasso and Yair Rodriguez. The 35-year-old fighter faces a tough task, however, as Nunes — also 35 — is widely considered the greatest female fighter in MMA history.

In the co-main event, former lightweight champion Charles Oliveira faces Beneil Dariush, who is looking for his first title shot in the division.

Here’s everything you need to know.
