OCTAGON RETURNS TO THE GREAT WHITE NORTH! Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) returns to Canada for the first time in almost four years when it hosts UFC 289 inside Rogers Arena in Vancouver, British Columbia, on Sat., June 10, 2023. In UFC 289’s pay-per-view (PPV) main event, women’s Bantamweight champion, Amanda Nunes, will lock horns with No. 5-ranked 135-pound contender, Irene Aldana, while former Lightweight kingpin and current No. 1-seeded contender, Charles Oliveira, battles No. 4-ranked Beneil Dariush in the co-feature with 155-pound title implications on the line.
In the UFC 273 co-main event, current bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling defends his 145-pound strap against bitter rival and ex-division kingpin Petr Yan. “Funk Master” kicks things off by introducing viewers to the “MMA Rulebook for Dummies,” no doubt directed at “No Mercy” after their first championship showdown ended by way of disqualification after the Russian landed an illegal knee in the fourth round of their UFC 259 title fight.
Elsewhere on the card, former welterweight title challenger Gilbert Burns looks to derail the hype train of undefeated 170-pound phenom Khamzat Chimaev. Expect the “Embedded” cameras to have a more in-depth look at the training and final preparations for both combatants in subsequent episodes dropping later this week.
