Nunes announced her retirement after dominating Irene Aldana to retain her women's bantamweight title at UFC in Vancouver on Saturday. Nunes, arguably the greatest women's fighter in history, has the unique distinction of retiring as a two-division champion as she still holds the featherweight crown as well.

In her first title defense since reclaiming the UFC women's bantamweight title in July , Nunes was dominant. Nunes picked Irene Aldana apart from range and even scored takedowns occasionally en route to a unanimous decision. Nunes' striking appeared to take Aldana out of her game plan on the feet, and when she felt like it, she took Aldana down repeatedly. After the fight, Nunes brought out both of her belts, placed them in the Octagon, had her gloves cut off and announced her retirement from the UFC. In the co-main event, former lightweight champion Charles Oliveira emphatically reinserted himself into the title picture with a first-round knockout against Beneil Dariush. Oliveira, who lost the title to Islam Makhachev in his last fight, could have placed himself in the front of the line for a shot at the champ with such an impressive win.
