Nunes retains title and announces retirment at UFC 289 in Vancouver

Amanda (Lioness) Nunes beat Irene Aldana by unanimous decision during UFC 289 at Rogers Arena in Vancouver on Saturday night to hold on to her bantamweight title before announcing her retirement.

Nunes dominated the fight, landing far more hits than her opponent, while Aldana's corner repeatedly encouraged their fighter to go on the offensive.

The title fight capped a successful night for Canadian fighters with all six Canadians or Canadian-based fighters going undefeated.
