It’s nearly time to watch the UFC 289 live stream online, and see the latest chapter of Amanda Nunes’ second act. After losing the UFC Bantamweight title to Julianna Peña in 2019, Nunes actually considered leaving the sport. Instead, she opted to return and take her title back.

UFC 289 was supposed to be the rubber match of a trilogy between Nunes and Peña, but the latter sustained a rib injury. Irene Aldana — who is 7-4 in UFC and is 14-6 in MMA — stepped up. The champ (who is also a champ-champ, as she holds the UFC Women’s Featherweight title as well) respects her new challenger, telling the press “She’s a better fighter than Julianna, for sure.”
In the co-main event, Charles Oliveira vs. Beneil Dariush arrives one show later than it should have. Oliveira lost the UFC’s light heavyweight title last May, when he failed to make weight against Justin Gaethje, who then submitted him via rear-naked choke. After losing a fight for the vacated title in October to Islam Makhachev, this is Oliveira’s latest chance to get back in contention.
DraftKings has Nunes (-320) predictably favored for the main event, with Aldana (+265) as the underdog. You’d have to bet $320 on a winning Nunes to win $100, while a $100 wager on a winning Aldana would net you $265.
The site lists Dariush (-150) for the favorite in the co-main, with Oliveira (+130) as a slighter underdog.
