Join us as we cover the UFC 289: Nunes vs. Aldana card which is live tonight (June 10th) in Canada for the first time since the global pandemic hit, and is kicking off from the Rogers Arena in Vancouver, British Columbia. The UFC’s women’s 135-pound title is on the line in the main event when the champion, Amanda Nunes, takes on the promotion’s #5 ranked bantamweight, Irene Aldana. Originally, this main event was slated to be a trilogy tilt between Nunes and Julianna Peña, however after Peña dropped out, Aldana was chosen to fill in.
The UFC 289 co-main event, aka the people’s main event, will be a high-octane explosion between the UFC’s former 155-pound champion, Charles Oliveira, and the owner of a wicked eight-fight winning streak, Beneil Dariush. Both guys are great everywhere. Both guys can hurt you on the feet. Both can strangle you on the ground. Both know it. There’s no possible way that this matchup is anything other than poetic violence.
The UFC 289 event is scheduled to start live at 7:00pm ET, 4pm PT, with the early prelims on the ESPN+ streaming platform in the US, as well as Fight Pass. The PPV main card is to kick off at 10:00pm ET, 7:00pm PT.
