Irene Aldana Falls Short In UFC 289 Main Event
1 year agoIt was not the performance Irene Aldana was hoping for on Saturday, suffering a unanimous-decision loss to Amanda Nunes in the main event of UFC 289. Aldana appeared to be hesitant during the fight, only tallying 41 significant strikes compared to that of Nunes' 142 significant strikes. Aldana did have one bright moment where a big left hand found its mark. With Nunes retiring, the opportunity is there for Aldana to climb her way back into title contention against an inevitably easier opponent than the women's GOAT.
