In this blog, I will share my honest UFC 289 predictions about who is going to win. At Rogers Arena in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, UFC 289: “Nunes vs. Aldana” will take place on Saturday, June 10, 2023, bringing additional “Prelims” bouts to ESPN/ESPN+. Below, the first of two previews of the UFC 289 “Prelims” undercard.

Why UFC 289 is Going to be a Blast!

UFC 289 takes place on June 10, so here are some wild predictions for the event. On Saturday night, the undisputed king of mixed martial arts returns to Canada for the very first time for a while. The bantamweight championship fight between Mexican superstar Irene Aldana and undefeated Brazilian champion Amanda Nunes will serve as the main event of this unusual homecoming.

Former lightweight champion Charles Oliveira faces red-hot fighter Beniel Dariush in the co-main event of the Rogers Arena showdown, making this a huge bout in the lightweight rankings. Dan Ige, Miranda Maverick, and Eryk Anders are all returning to the Octagon at UFC 289. Keeping all of this in mind, I have some audacious predictions for this coming Saturday’s UFC event.

UFC 289 Predictions: Who is Getting a W?

Amanda Nunes, the women’s Bantamweight champion, will defend her title against No. 5 ranked 135 pound contender Irene Aldana in the main event of UFC 289. In the co-main event, former Lightweight champion and current No. 1 ranked 155 pound contender Charles Oliveira will face No. 4 ranked Beneil Dariush with 155 pound title implications. Watch every minute for ENORMOUS punches to the face!

Amanda Nunes (22-5) vs. Irene Aldana (14-6)

Nunes and Julianna Pena were supposed to fight in the third and final installment of their trilogy, but Pena was knocked out in the first round due to a rib injury. Nunes was then slated to face Pena. It has been decided that Aldana, a veteran of the UFC, will now take her place. The women’s mixed martial arts great will not face a more difficult opponent in any future match.

Even though Aldana, at the age of 35, is not an easy opponent in the ring, she has not yet shown that she has an outstanding or unique skill that is capable of beating the best in the world. If Nunes loses focus and begins to take Aldana for granted, she will put herself in the greatest amount of danger. That is not something that she will be doing on a Saturday.

• UFC 289 Odds: Nunes (-310), Aldana (+250)
• Prediction: Nunes by TKO, Round 2

Charles Oliveira (33-9) vs. Beneil Dariush (22-4-1)

Charles Oliveira, a former lightweight champion who lost the belt to Islam Makhachev in October of the previous year, has not fought since. The Brazilian’s ability to regain his former glory has been called into question ever since. This will happen at UFC 289, and against a formidable opponent. On Saturday, Dariush will be at his peak performance and will be riding an eight-fight winning run. Despite this impressive streak, he has never encountered an opponent quite like Oliveria. Even if Dariush has everything it takes to win, “Do Bronx” is a step above “Benny” and will prove it on battle night if he is on his game.

• UFC 289 Odds: Oliveira (+120), Dariush (-100)
• Prediction: Oliveira by Submission, Round 3

Eryk Anders (15-7) vs. Marc-Andre Barriault (15-6)

One of the several “pick ’em” fights that will take place at UFC 289 is between Eryk Anders and Marc-Andre Barriault. Both competitors are at the same level as the greatest in the UFC and are able to win easily against one another. Anders may be beginning to exhibit indications of age-related degeneration after a long athletic career; as a reason, the Canadian is the favourite to win a tight decision in front of the local audience in this matchup.

• UFC 289 Odds: Barriault (-125) vs. Anders (+110)
• Prediction: Anders by Unanimous Decision.

Nassourdine Imavov (12-4) vs. Chris Curtis (30-10)

Chris Curtis’ journey in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) during the last five years has been one of the most exciting stories in the history of the sport. He ultimately got it inside the Octagon in 2021 after years of battling outside the organisation and apparently never having his opportunity. Since then, he hasn’t disappointed fans in any way, shape, or form. It is going to take place once again on Saturday.

Curtis has a considerable advantage in experience and looks to be making the most of his remaining athletic peak. Nassourdine Imavov has more promise and talent than Curtis, but the 40-fight veteran has the advantage in experience. It is anticipated that he would make a successful return after defeating Imavov at UFC 289.

• UFC 289 Odds: Imavov (-130), Curtis (+100)
• Prediction: Imavov by Unanimous Decision

Dan Ige (16-6-0) vs. Nate Landwehr (17-4-0)

Dan Ige is a bad grappler since he only engages in the style 1.25 times per three rounds. Ige successfully finishes 26% of the takedowns he attempts, while he blocks 52% of his opponents’ attempts. Landwehr is successful in finishing 62% of the takedowns he attempts, while his opponents are stopped in 86% of their attempts. While Landwehr averages 1.4 finishes for every three rounds, Ige only averages 0.3.

In Dan Ige’s most recent fight, Damon Jackson was knocked out in round 2 with a head strike delivered by Ige. In his most recent bout, Nate Landwehr submitted Austin Lingo in the second round with a rear naked choke victory. Dan Ige hits 3.80 major strikes per minute, while Nate Landwehr hits 6.47. Landwehr hits 49% and Ige 45% of his major blows. “50K” defends the Octagon with 3.58 significant hits per minute, while “The Train” takes 5.51. Ige deflects 57% of serious hits and Landwehr 56%.
