The pay-per-view event of March 4, 2023, would finally let Amanda Nunes get back into action. The UFC warrior has repeatedly displayed her strength and superior technique by defeating her title against multiple fighters in the world of mixed martial arts. She defeated the likes of Ronda Rousey, Miesha Tate, and Holly Holm. Furthermore, she has seven title defenses, five in the bantamweight and two in the featherweight category, making her one of the two women to have the highest title defenses in the UFC. However, ‘The Lioness’ would get yet another chance to defend her champion’s title in UFC 285. With the revelation of the opponent who would go against the female double champion, the world is indeed waiting for the action to fill the Octagon once again.
Along with Nunes, UFC 285 has a lot more in store for the fans. Especially the fight where Jon Jones and Ciryl Gane would be pitted against each other in the Octagon. Nonetheless, the cards carry nothing other than excitement for the fans.
