It feels odd to note, but the Julianna Pena-Amanda Nunes bantamweight title tilt on Saturday in Dallas will be the first women’s bout to headline an Ultimate Fighting Championship pay-per-view in over two years. It’s a good choice to play that role, too. It’s low key one of the most compelling rematches in women’s MMA history.
Pena-Nunes I wasn’t some sort of legendary encounter that you just can’t wait to see again, like Zhang Weili-Joanna Jedrzejczyk.
