UFC 289: Preliminary Card Preview

UFC 289 may only have six preliminary card fights, but they should bring plenty of heat to Rogers Arena in Vancouver.

The card is headlined by a bantamweight championship clash between dual-weight champ Amanda Nunes and Mexican challenger Irene Aldana. Fans appear to be more excited for the co-main, however, between former lightweight champion Charles Oliveira and surging contender Beneil Dariush in a bout with heavy title implications at 155.

Before we get to the top billing, though, we have six fights on the prelims. While we usually select five to preview, we didn’t want an odd fight out here.
