A Thrilling Main and Co-Main Event

With Amanda Nunes having just bounced back from defeat to reclaim her bantamweight gold, the time for retirement seems imminent from the women’s pound-for-pound number one. Will tonight be the one she bows out on? Taking on the Brazilian is another part of the new Mexican cohort Irene Aldana.

In the co-main event, Charles Oliveira aims to end Beneil Dariush’s eight-fight winning streak. Dana White has promised a title shot for Dariush should he get through Do Bronx.
