UFC 224: Nunes vs. Pennington Odds, TV Info, Predictions and Pre-Weigh-in Hype

UFC 224 comes to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil with a card anchored by Brazilian women's featherweight champion Amanda Nunes defending her belt against Raquel Pennington as the main event.

Since prying away the belt from Miesha Tate with a rear-naked choke UFC 200 The Lioness has defended her belt against Ronda Rousey and Valentina Shevchenko. Now she's looking to make Pennington the third fighter to unsuccessfully challenge her title.

The card also features an important middleweight bout between two contenders. Ronaldo "Jacare" Souza will look to build his case for another fight against Robert Whittaker with a win over Kelvin Gastelum who will make his first Octagon appearance in 2018 after finishing 2017 by knocking out Michael Bisping.
