UFC 289 turned out to be a night to remember as the GOAT walked away with his two title belts after another dominant performance.

The legendary Amanda Nunes captured the UFC 289 title at Rogers Arena in Vancouver, making her opponent Irene Aldana look like she didn’t belong, and then retired as the greatest female fighter of all time.

After reclaiming the belt last summer and avenging a submission loss to Juliana Pena, Nunes won her first bantamweight title on Saturday with a unanimous decision against Altana. Nunes won every round on all three judges’ scorecards. Later, he announced his retirement from mixed martial arts with a smile on his face during a post-fight interview with Daniel Cormier.

Saturday’s pay-per-view also includes the highly anticipated matchup between Charles Oliveira and Peneil Dariush. On paper, the lightweight showdown was the most interesting and exciting fight of the evening, and it delivered.

Oliveira, a former UFC lightweight champion, has bounced back from losing his title to Islam Makache last October, finishing Dariush in the first round entering the bout on an eight-fight winning streak.
