Amanda Nunes will face Julianna Peña in a trilogy bout for the women’s bantamweight title at UFC 289 in Vancouver on June 10.
UFC 289 is set to be headlined by a trilogy bout between two-division champion Amanda Nunes and former women’s bantamweight titleholder Julianna Pena 3. This exciting match will take place on June 10 at Rogers Arena in Vancouver. UFC President Dana White confirmed the news via TSN’s Aaron Bronsteter on Friday.
In their last two encounters, there was a win for each woman. Julianna Pena shocked the world with a second-round submission to take the championship from Nunes. But Nunes dominated the rematch at UFC 277 last July and won via unanimous decision.
Although Pena has been out of the title hunt since losing the championship to Nunes, she remains the top-ranked contender in the women’s bantamweight division. Nunes, on the other hand, is widely considered the greatest female fighter in MMA history. Her list of achievements includes winning the women’s featherweight championship by knocking out Cris Cyborg and ending Ronda Rousey’s era.
The Nunes vs. Pena trilogy is sure to be an exciting match, with both fighters having a score to settle. Fans can’t wait to see who comes out victorious. This bout is bound to be hotly contested, and it’s a must-see for anyone who loves MMA.
