Additionally, as of March 1, 2023, she is ranked at the top spot in the UFC women's pound-for-pound rankings.
Throughout her career, 'Lioness' has exemplified remarkable skill, tenacity, and resilience, solidifying her status as one of the greatest fighters of all time and thus living up to her moniker.
Amanda Nunes vs. Julianna Pena 3 canceled; 'Lioness' has a new opponent for upcoming UFC 289 championship bout
In a disappointing turn of events, the highly anticipated trilogy bout between Amanda Nunes and Julianna Pena has been canceled. The matchup was set to determine the fate of the UFC women's bantamweight gold, as the series stood tied between the two formidable fighters with one victory each from their previous encounters.
Their last meeting took place at UFC 277, where Amanda Nunes, the Brazilian powerhouse, evened the score with a commanding unanimous decision triumph. Fans were eagerly awaiting the rubber match, hoping for a definitive outcome to settle the rivalry.
However, news broke that Pena had withdrawn from the scheduled bout due to an unfortunate injury. This left Nunes without an opponent for her highly anticipated return to the octagon at UFC 289.
Fortunately, the UFC wasted no time in finding a replacement. Stepping up to the challenge is Mexican bantamweight Irene Aldana, who will now have the opportunity to test her skills against the dominant champion.
