UFC 289 is in the books and it was not without some drama. But that drama came on the emotional side of the spectrum when two-division champion Amanda Nunes decided to lay down the gloves and call it a career after a dominant win over Irene Aldana.

Nunes outclassed her latest opponent in the bantamweight division as she cruised to a unanimous decision over the Mexican challenger. In the aftermath, Nunes laid down both titles and her gloves to announce her retirement. She walks away as the most decorated champion in UFC women's history boasting an incredible resume that features every person to hold a title in the bantamweight or featherweight divisions.

Elsewhere on the card, Charles Oliveira reminded everyone why he's a former champion and rising challenger once more. Oliveira took out Beneil Dariush in the opening round of their co-main event to secure his rematch with Islam Makhachev, who took the lightweight title off of him. Oliveira has been on an incredible run himself with big wins abound and now he likely gets a chance to right a wrong in his next appearance.
