The world of MMA saw some major events take place over the weekend, with Amanda Nunes retiring after defeating Irene Aldana to retain her bantamweight title and Charles Oliveira stunning Beneil Dariush. Canadian fighters also put on a show in Vancouver. Many questions have arisen from these events, so let’s dive into them.

When it comes to Amanda Nunes’ career, it’s hard to pinpoint any particular fight that stood out as memorable or great. However, Nunes is a unique fighter in that she brings a combination of skill and physicality to the cage and dominates her opponents. It’s unlikely that the women’s featherweight division will continue now that Nunes has retired.

Regarding the vacant bantamweight title, no one really deserves to fight for it as the division is quite weak. Raquel Pennington is likely next in line for the title, with the winner of the Holm vs. Silva fight also being considered.

Irene Aldana had a disappointing performance against Amanda Nunes, failing to be more aggressive and allow Nunes to control the pace of the fight. It’s up to Aldana to decide how to move forward after this loss.

Julianna Pena has emerged as a potential title contender after beating Amanda Nunes. Even though she’ll likely get a title shot, it’s clear that Nunes is still the superior fighter.

Charles Oliveira’s resume is impressive, but Khabib Nurmagomedov and Eddie Alvarez still have better lightweight resumes. Oliveira is statistically the most dangerous fighter in the UFC, but he’s also been in danger himself many times.

Mike Malott delivered an impressive performance and could be on his way to becoming a star in the Canadian market. Erceg’s victory could be a sign that he’s ready for top-ranked competitors, but more time will tell.
