UFC 289 will be headlined by the women’s bantamweight championship showdown between reigning titleholder Amanda Nunes and top contender Irene Aldana. In the UFC 289 co-main event, former lightweight champion Charles Oliveira looks to quell the uprising of 155-pound veteran Beneil Dariush.
“For me, she is the greatest of all time, for me, she is,” Aldana said about Nunes during the UFC 289 media day (watch the replay here). “That’s why it makes it even more great for me to be able to have this opportunity against her, to beat one of the greatest. I respect her, and it’s an honor for me, but as much as I respect her, for me, I’m coming with a mentality of winning. It’s not kill or die. For me, it’s kill or kill. That’s it.”
