Raquel Pennington defeats her Brazilian opponent to claim the belt vacated by Nunes, who announces her retirement from mixed martial arts.

Nunes was rarely threatened in a lopsided unanimous decision triumph over Irene Aldana in the UFC 289 headliner, and she capped off that performance by announcing her retirement from mixed martial arts
