In the main event, two-division UFC champion Amanda Nunes defends her bantamweight title against Irene Aldana. The latter replaced former champion Julianna Pena, who was scheduled to face Nunes in their trilogy fight, but was forced to withdraw due to broken ribs.
35-year-old Nunes (22-5) of Brazil, was in action last July in Dallas, where she scored a unanimous decision against Pena at UFC 277. Coming out victorious from the immediate rematch she reclaimed the 135-pound title. Late 2021 in Las Vegas, “Lioness” was submitted by “The Venezuelan Vixen” in the second round of their first fight.
