Did Irene Aldana Even Try? Amanda Nunes Retiring Ruins Her Division? Cut Women's Featherweight?

Amanda Nunes vs Irene Aldana took place at UFC 289 and Nunes retired after Aldana had one of the worst title fight performances of all time, should women's featherweight be removed as a division? This is my reaction, let me know what you guys think in the comments section down below.

Aldana was absolutely pathetic. Straight loser mentality. Wouldn't even look at her coaches. If she moved her feet, she didn't throw hands. If she tried to throw, she planted out of range and didn't move her head. I genuinely prayed Nunes slept her from top control by the 5th.

Maybe more importantly, Nunes didn't even look AMATEUR against an opponent that was basically a VERY light sparring partner?

[@kodokami7]

Irene was embarrassing to watch, she had the guts to say she was up to the challenge simply because she is a Mexican, more like Mexican't. I thought Juliana's performance was laughable but at least she was going all in despite getting her face pummeled. Irene was simply fighting defensively in the biggest stage of her life, reluctant to let herself go, Irene should be nowhere near title contention ever again. I'm happy Nunes retired because UFC wont put woman's title fight as main event in PPV in the future.

[@nimzzor]

Why should they? A vast majority suck...

[@GigaChadDuPlessis]

Julianas a dog thats why. She might not be the most technical or the best fighter. But she comes to fight. If she proved anything its she was not scared of nunez. Aldana was the opposite. She was just happy to be there fighting to survive

I don't think it was the game plan or pressure, you are being far too generous...This was a fighter who was simply shitting her pants to even be in there with Nunes.

Shevchenko yes but honestly Blanchfield has only beaten Andrade whose technically a straweight, she hasn't proven herself but they could get Santos, Lauren Murphy, Jennifer Maia, Kaitlyn, O'Neil etc to go up to 135 I reckon they compete, opens up the flyweight rankings for the good young'ins.🤷in my opinion

[@tlb963]

it pissed me off so bad to watch. She was eating tekken combos from the champ and barely getting rocked and affect nunes with the two actually decent shots she threw. If she tried even a little bit she could maybe have walked through Nunes and chinned her. Maybe that's a crazy take, who knows

I think they're going to have Pena and Pennington fight for the vacant belt. Pennington is on a five-fight win streak and was the official back-up for the Main Event, while Pena is -- according to her, anyway -- "the girl who sent the Lioness running" (lol). #1 and #2... hard to argue with. Holm and Vieira aren't far behind, but they're both booked right now for fights next month and in a weird spot because Vieira has a controversial win over Holly, yet lost to Pennington. Meanwhile Holm has had a pretty good recent run, including a win over Pennington... but lost to Vieira. They need to get past their next fight and maybe that'll bring some clarity to a more deserving #1 contender. I think it's too early for a rematch. Then there's always the possibility of someone from 125 coming up to challenge. Valentina has talked about doing so and she is an ex-Bantamweight herself. She holds wins over Holm *and* Pena already. I could see her going for champ-champ if she beats Grasso in the rematch.
