Finally scheduled for fight
Nunes (elbow) is scheduled to compete against Molly McCann in a strawweight fight at UFC London on March 22, per Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
On July 15, 2023, Nunes fought Viktoriia Dudakova in a losing effort. It was a quick loss, only because Nunes appeared to dislocate her left elbow while defending a takedown attempt. It will have been over a year and a half since Nunes fought in a UFC ring.

Injury leads to quick defeat
Nunes lost to Viktoriia Dudakova via TKO (elbow injury) at 0:34 of Round 1 at UFC on ESPN 49 on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
In search of her first UFC victory in her fourth UFC bout, Nunes appeared to dislocate her left elbow while attempting to defend an early Dudakova takedown attempt. The fight was over instantly, with Nunes screaming in pain and referee Chris Tognoni stepping in. Fighters that begin their time with the company with four straight defeats rarely get a fifth opportunity, but this is not a normal set of circumstances. It remains to be seen if we see Nunes again inside the Octagon.
