Post-UFC 289 Matchmaking

Amanda Nunes showcased her supremacy over Irene Aldana in UFC 289’s premier event, successfully defending her bantamweight title, before stunning the audience with her retirement announcement. With the impending closure of the women’s featherweight category, and the 135-pound title now up for grabs, where does the division proceed?

In the latest version of Proceeding Forward, MMA Hook’s commentators Mike Heck and Alexander K. Lee aim to provide insight into this question through a matchmaker’s lens. They also contemplate the potential next steps for Aldana, following her unsuccessful debut in a UFC title match. Furthermore, potential bouts for Charles Oliveira and Beneil Dariush are dissected after the previous champion halted Dariush’s ascent in the opening round. Future contests are also explored for Mike Malott in light of his second-round submission triumph over Adam Fugitt, Dan Ige following his unanimous victory over Nate Landwehr, along with Marc-Andre Barriault – another main card victor, among others.
