Ahead of her Octagon return at UFC 289 this weekend, two-weight champion, Amanda Nunes has played down the possibility of a future trilogy bout with former undisputed flyweight champion, Valentina Shevchenko – doubting the promotion is even interested in the fight anymore.
Nunes, who headlines UFC 289 this weekend, makes her Octagon return against Mexican challenger, Irene Aldana, attempting to successfully defend her bantamweight crown as she begins her second reign at 135lbs.
Last time out, the Bahia native headlined UFC 277 last July in Dallas, Texas – successfully avenging a shocking career loss to common-foe, Julianna Peña – turning in a dominant, comprehensive unanimous decision success.
As for Shevchenko, the former flyweight champion most recently co-headlined UFC 285 back in March, dropping her title in spectacular fashion to Mexican contender, Alexa Grasso – submitting to a third round rear-naked choke at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
However, prior to Shevchenko’s loss to Grasso, and Nunes’ defeat against Peña – fans had called continually for a third fight between the two, with the Brazilian landing victories over the former in close 2016 and 2017 bouts, respectively.
As far as Nunes is concerned, however, a third fight with Krgysztan native, Shevchenko has been cast into doubt, with the Brazilian claiming another pairing of the two would likely not sell as many pay-per-views nowadays.
“Yeah, I don’t know,” Amanda Nunes told assembled media at UFC 289 regarding a trilogy title fight fight with Valentina Shevchenko. “I think I have a lot of noise at 135 [pounds], and I don’t think the UFC is going to stop and then go back with the Valentina (Shevchenko) thing. That don’t sell nothing.”
“I was not surprised [that Valentina Shevchenko lost],” Amanda Nunes explained. “I fought Valentina when she was in her prime, and we were both growing. Last fight, we were both growing as a fighter. Valentina has a lot of holes that I can see. I wasn’t able to do back then, but I see how Alexa Grasso would be able to finish her.”
Synonymous with being described as the greatest female fighter of all time, the Lioness, Amanda Nunes is the sport’s only woman to date who simultaneously holds titles in two UFC divisions, reigning as the current Ultimate Fighting Championship Bantamweight and Featherweight queen pin. Nunes, now at 35 years of age, has accomplished everything there is […]
Synonymous with being described as the greatest female fighter of all time, the Lioness, Amanda Nunes is the sport’s only woman to date who simultaneously holds titles in two UFC divisions, reigning as the current Ultimate Fighting Championship Bantamweight and Featherweight queen pin. Nunes, now at 35 years of age, has accomplished everything there is to achieve with very few blemishes on her career and legacy so far.
So many fans are left wondering what is there for Nunes actually to achieve. Nunes will have plenty of options in sports once she retires down various different paths, but one that intrigues many the most and also the potential Queen of could come within UFC’s new partner company since Endeavour took over WWE, as a professional wrestler.
“If the contract is amazing, why not?” Amanda Nunes told New York Post regarding possibly joining WWE at some point. “What I wanted to do in MMA, I did already — even more than I thought in my head when I went through my whole career. I became a double champion. I wanted only one — I had two … I’m so happy, and whatever comes after I’m done with UFC, we’ll see. For sure you guys will see me around, anyways.”
Despite being the first woman to become a double champion in the UFC, she wouldn’t be the first to transition over to WWE, not even in the Bantamweight division with current WWE Tag-Team champion, Ronda Rousey at the helm in WWE at the moment.
Brazil’s “Lionness” and future hall of famer seeks an additional career UFC title defense against Mexico’s Irene Aldana at UFC 289 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
Initially opening as a large betting favorite to defeat would-be opponent, Julianna Peña ahead of UFC 289 – with a switch of opponent, two-weight champion, Amanda Nunes still remains a large bookies favorite to retain bantamweight gold this weekend as she takes on Mexican challenger, Irene Aldana.

Initially opening as a large betting favorite to defeat would-be opponent, Julianna Peña ahead of UFC 289 – with a switch of opponent, two-weight champion, Amanda Nunes still remains a large bookies favorite to retain bantamweight gold this weekend as she takes on Mexican challenger, Irene Aldana.
Nunes, the current undisputed bantamweight and featherweight champion, will make her Octagon return this weekend in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada – taking on Jalisco native, Aldana in a bid to kick start her second reign as queen at 135lbs with a successful title defense.
As for Aldana, the Mexico native lands her first title siege since joining the UFC from Invicta FC, removed from a scheduled fight with Raquel Pennington – booking a title showdown with Nunes in place of an injured, Peña.
Riding a two-fight winning run into her title showing in ‘The Great White North’ – Aldana most recently landed a hugely unique and quite bizarre upkick body shot Ko win over Macy Chiasson, finishing The Ultimate Fighter 28 winner with a third round finish.
However, despite her recent run of good form, Aldana is quickly closing as a betting underdog (+250) to defeat Nunes over at BetWay – with the Brazilian emerging as a stunning (-300) – in quite clear-cut fashion.
Reclaiming her bantamweight spoils in July of last year in the main event of UFC 277 in Dallas, Texas – Nunes, a native of Bahia, Brazil, turned the tide on Peña in a big way – landing a completely one-sided unanimous decision success against the Washington native to reclaim the throne at 135lbs.
Successfully scoring two previous defenses of her featherweight title, Nunes landed a one-sided decision win over Felicia Spencer, before stopping Megan Anderson with a spectacular first round reverse triangle armbar win at the UFC Apex facility.
In further activity of note at UFC 289 this weekend at the Rogers Arena in Canada, a touted title-eliminator at the lightweight limit is on deck – as former undisputed divisional champion, Charles Oliveira returns to the Octagon for the first time since October – tackling Iranian-born grappler, Beneil Dariush.
Dropping lightweight spoils to the scales last May – infamously, Oliveira is closing as a short and rather close betting underdog (+120) to defeat Dariush (-150) this weekend in their co-main event slot – with the latter hoping to score his first title opportunity, and lodge consecutive triumph number eight against the Sao Paulo native.
However, despite closing as a betting underdog to defeat Dariush outright at UFC 289 this weekend, Oliveira appears to be attracting attention with punters and bettors in regards to landing a finish via KO or submission against the former, closing currently as a -450 favorite to land a finish over Dariush, who is currently priced as a +350 underdog.
Furthermore, both men are priced at -162 odds to land a finish over one another at UFC 289 this weekend, with both men largely viewed as both knockout and submission threats, respectively – and with Oliveira, the Brazilian enters his return fight as the most prolific outright finisher and submission artist in the history of the organization.

Slated to headline UFC 289 this weekend in a bantamweight title fight against Irene Aldana, two-weight promotional champion, Amanda Nunes has been urged to embrace a potential impending retirement from active competition, from one-time light heavyweight title challenger, Anthony Smith.
Nunes, the current undisputed featherweight and bantamweight champion, is slated to headline UFC 289 this weekend in the promotion’s return to Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada – taking main event honors against Mexican replacement, Aldana in a reworked main event clash.
Yet to feature since July of last year, Bahia native, Nunes managed to reclaim the bantamweight throne with a largely one-sided unanimous decision victory over Julianna Peña in the pair’s championship rematch in Dallas, Texas.
Revealing recently how she had weighed up the prospect of retirement following her stunning December 2021 title submission loss to Peña, Nunes has been urged to make peace with a potential retirement from the sport, by Nebraska native Smith.
“Is it weird that, at times, I look forward to Amanda Nunes’ retirement,” Anthony Smith told Ariel Helwani on The MMA Hour. “It’s a very weird sentiment I have. Sometimes when I see her in these fight weeks, in these interviews, and she’s dragged her whole family there, and then she gets in and she fights – sometimes I almost feel bad for her.”
“Like, just go enjoy your life, and just go have fun,” Smith explained. “Like, stop doing all this sh*t. Because a lot of times, she [Amanda Nunes] doesn’t seem to always enjoy it that much.”
A decorated two-weight champion, over the course of her professional career, Nunes has landed spectacular triumphs over the likes of Valentina Shevchenko, Miesha Tate, Ronda Rousey, Cris Cyborg, Holly Holm, Germaine de Randamie, Felicia Spencer, Megan Anderson, and the aforenoted, Julianna Peña.
