History of the UFC
The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) was established in 1993 and is widely regarded as the sport’s biggest mixed martial arts promotion company.
Most of the best MMA fighters over the years have featured in the UFC, with the likes of Royce Gracie, Conor McGregor, and Anderson Silva all headlining fight nights at the peaks of their careers.
The UFC has come a long way in its 30-year history, primarily fuelled by the huge amounts of money brought into the sport via PPV deals and global audiences.
Today, UFC fights take place throughout the calendar year, and the Nunes vs Pena rematch at UFC 289 is going to be a blockbuster event.
Prominent Fighters in UFC 289
The headline act in UFC 289 sees Amanda Nunes go up against Julianna Pena. It’s fair to say that this fight has had its share of controversy.
The two faced off in the octagon in UFC 277, and Nunes dominated seven months after initially losing her belt to Pena in one of the biggest upsets in UFC history.
There’s no love lost between the two, and it will be fascinating to see which fighter emerges victorious at the end of UFC 289.
In the co-main event, Charles Oliveira takes on Beneil Dariush, and the bout winner will be positioned to fight for the lightweight belt.
