News Julianna Pena is OUT! Amanda Nunes now faces Irene Aldana at UFC 289 on June 10th

[Ares Black]

It's going to be Lioness vs Jaguar!!!

Catfight!!!

This is a better fight imo . Fine with me!

I know she had no choice... one hell of an opportunity... but damn I wish Irene had longer than one month to train for Amanda Nunes.

And some of those guys aint exactly fresh off the show either.


There's obviously a lot of variables, but I find it weird how much the boxing gets brought up. Maybe as Nunes ages, sure, but Aldana's not coming anywhere near the on-paper boxing skill of Holm.

Then again, I could easily play the same game from the other side and talk about how much better Aldana is than Pena, but eh.

I assume you carry the tag for life as it isn't an extra magnet it is actually printed on the bar. It is like a criminal record but UFC version.

Peña is Mexican



She broke her ribs bro

I’m well aware of what happened. Sucks to be Pena. I guess the metaphor didn’t click for you?

 

[Objectively Correct]

Yall whack for not letting Pena have her rubber match. She's 1-1 against Nunes with a fnish over her. I'll never understand the Nunes clitriding

Watch more fights. Read less wiki results. But even somebody that just reads results. The names on Amanda’s resume don’t ring any bells? Never heard of those ladies before?

I watched the fights and I am talking about this particular matchup not about Nunes previous fights. Pena submitted Nunes. Nunes could not finish Pena in her win.

Pena injured.............................................

[Shano123]

shevchenko should have jumped in

 

[CroCopsLHK]

Aldana might honestly be a more dangerous fight than Julie

And I know Fuggit and Landwehr are fucking awesome (latter can be a star if he keeps winning) but HOLY HELL that lineup for 289 is looking rough. Ufc seem to be in a drought with these next two ppvs...

Happy for Aldana and for the division as a whole.

Wasn't really interested in a rematch anyway. The second fight made the first one look like a fluke.

Catfight!!!

The UFC takes Canada for granted.

Nobody should attend this card. Send them a message or we'll keep getting shitty cards like this.

Canada took COVID for granted. This is what they get

 

[markys00]

Lol I didn't even know Pena was out

No one did. This just happened

 

[Askafan]

For those who watched the announcement Diego Lopes is also from the Lobo gym in Guadalajara. He's the guy who jumped into the cage to chair Grasso after she submitted Shevchenko, her Bjj coach.

Is Aldana going to ko Nunes, Grasso was training for Shev long before the fight was announced, so I guess the same is true for Irene. Lobo seem to be one of the few wmma gyms that actually come up with decent gameplans.

Extremely selective 'logic'
