Belal Muhammad thinks the rematch between Amanda Nunes and Julianna Pena was much closer than the scorecards indicated.
Nunes beat Pena in a lopsided decision victory in the UFC 277 main event at American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas to reclaim her bantamweight title and regain double-champ status.
Pena was bloodied and battered by the end of the fight, with one judge scoring the bout 50-43 in favor of Nunes. Still, despite being dropped and almost finished several times, ‘The Venezuelan Vixen’ fought till the bitter end and never stopped looking for a way to win.
Although Pena proved herself a worthy foe, Nunes attempted to dismiss her opponent’s efforts by claiming that she chose not to finish Pena even though she could have.
