		</div><p>Amanda Nunes has retired after defending her world bantamweight belt against Irene Aldana at UFC 289 in Vancouver.</p>
<p>The Brazilian, who also held the featherweight title, won on a unanimous points decision at Rogers Arena and after placing her belts on the canvas, announced she was calling time on her career.</p>
<p>She said in her octagon interview: “Double champion forever, today is a perfect night to retire.</p>
<p>“My mum has been watching me do this for so long, she cannot take it anymore. So I decided, I am still young to enjoy everything I make.</p>
<p>“I never worked out in my mind that I would become a champion and when I did it was unbelievable.”</p>
<p>Nunes, 35, dominated the octagon over a lengthy career, and is the first woman to become a champion in two divisions. She is the only fighter to defend two titles while holding them both.</p>
<p>Saturday’s bout was supposed to be against Julianna Pena but the former champion withdrew due to injury.</p>
<p>Nunes’ victory over Aldana means she walks away with a 23-5 record and is widely regarded as the greatest ever women’s mixed martial artist.</p>
