Amanda Nunes, the UFC’s first two-division
champion, announced her retirement after defeating Irene Aldana by unanimous decision at UFC 289 on Saturday night.
Nunes, who won the bantamweight title in 2016 and the featherweight title in 2018, has been one of the most dominant fighters in UFC history. She has won 12 consecutive fights, including victories over Ronda Rousey, Cris Cyborg, and Holly Holm.
In the fight against Aldana, Nunes was in control from the start. She landed punches and kicks at will, and Aldana had no answer. Nunes won the fight by scores of 50-45, 50-45, and 50-44.
After the fight, Nunes announced her retirement. She said that she has been fighting for 10 years, and that she is ready to move on to the next chapter of her life.
“I’m here to say that I’m retiring,” Nunes said. “I’ve been fighting for 10 years, and I’m at peace with my decision. I’m grateful for everything that the UFC has done for me, and I’m excited to start the next chapter of my life.”
Nunes’ retirement is a major loss for the UFC. She was one of the biggest stars in the promotion, and her fights were always must-see events. However, Nunes leaves the sport as one of the greatest fighters of all time. She is a two-division champion, and she has never been defeated in the UFC.
Nunes’ retirement is a reminder that all good things must come to an end. However, Nunes will always be remembered as one of the greatest fighters in UFC history.
