Dana White and UFC React to Amanda Nunes' Retirement Decision.
UFC president Dana White indicated that the women's featherweight division could end after Amanda Nunes announced her retirement from the sport following a five-round beatdown of Irene Aldana to defend her bantamweight title in the main event of UFC 289. The UFC has yet to make a decision on who will compete for the now-vacant women's bantamweight championship. Nunes jumped between weight classes to defend her titles multiple times since 2017, but the company never had enough featherweights under contract to build an official 145-pound rankings.
