UFC 289 takes place tomorrow night, and MMA News is here to bring you the official weigh-in results!
Saturday’s numbered event marks the promotion’s return to Canada for the first time since before the COVID-19 pandemic struck. The card, set for Vancouver’s Rogers Arena, will be headlined by a championship fight between reigning bantamweight titleholder Amanda Nunes and the #5-ranked Irene Aldana.
Much of the attention, however, has been on the co-main event, which will see former UFC lightweight champion Charles Oliveira share the Octagon with in-form contender Beneil Dariush. Both men are in pursuit of the next shot at ending Islam Makhachev’s divisional rule.
With a potential barnburner between Dan Ige and Nate Landwehr also set for the main card, as well as a number of Canada’s own littered throughout the lineup, UFC 289 looks to have the potential for an entertaining night of action from British Columbia despite not being seen by some as a PPV-quality event.
