What you need to know
Nunes enters this fight ranked No. 1 in the UFC women’s pound-for-pound rankings. She has 22 wins through 27 contests. Of those 22 wins, 13 have come by knockout, and four by submission.
Nunes was supposed to be fighting Julianna Peña at tonight’s event. However, it was announced just over a month ago that Peña had suffered broken ribs during training camp, resulting in Aldana getting the call.
Aldana is plenty experienced herself, having been in 20 fights while coming out on top in 14. She has eight career knockouts and has won by submission on three occasions.
