Amanda Nunes gets revenge, recaptures UFC women's bantamweight title from Julianna Pena

Amanda Nunes got her revenge and her championship belt back Saturday night.

Nunes dominated a game Julianna Pena by unanimous decision to reclaim the UFC women's bantamweight title in the main event of UFC 277 at American Airlines Center.

The judges scored it 50-45, 50-44 and 50-43 for Nunes (22-5), who also is the UFC women's featherweight champion.

The victory was sweet redemption for Nunes, who lost the bantamweight belt to Pena by submission last December at UFC 269 in one of the biggest upsets in the sport's history.

Pena (12-5) entered Saturday's rematch on a two-fight winning streak, including the second-round submission win over Nunes in December.
