Matches to make after UFC289 via LevPisarsky
Despite the doubts, Nunes thoroughly dominated Aldana for 25 straight minutes on the feet, and beginning with Round 3, on the ground with takedowns and ground-and-pound. It was target practice standing up, landing punches at will and destroying Aldana's lead leg with kicks.
Aside from a powerful right cross that hurt Nunes late in the opening period, the challenger landed precious little offense. Nunes took the unanimous judges' nod with lopsided scores of 50-44, 50-44, and 50-43. Nunes announced her retirement after the fight, going out on top.
