Ahead of her Octagon return in June atop a UFC 289 pay-per-view card in British Columbia, Canada, undisputed duel-weight champion, Amanda Nunes has described incoming challenger, Irene Aldana as the legitimate title chaser at 135lbs – rather than former champion and two-time foe, Julianna Peña.
Nunes, the current undisputed bantamweight and featherweight champion, is slated to headline UFC 289 in June in a bantamweight title defense against Mexican challenger, Aldana.
Initially, Nunes was scheduled to face-off with the above-mentioned former division champion, Peña on that card in the promotion’s return to Canada, however, fractured ribs have ruled the latter from contention.
