VANCOUVER, British Columbia – Irene Aldana has all the respect in the world for Amanda Nunes . She has so much, that she thinks the Brazilian is the best to ever do it in women’s MMA. “For me, she is the greatest of all time, for me, she is,” Aldana told reporters at a UFC 289 pre-fight news conference Wednesday. “That’s why it makes it even more great for me to be able to have this opportunity against her, to beat one of the greatest.” Despite the respect and recognition she has for Nunes (22-5 MMA, 15-2 UFC), Aldana (14-6 MMA, 7-4 UFC) is out to make history for herself when the two meet in the main event of Saturday’s UFC 289
