Amanda Nunes looks to regain her place as the most dominant woman in mixed martial arts. Standing in her way is Julianna Peña, who defends the bantamweight title against Nunes in the main event of UFC 277.
Peña (11–4) produced a shocking victory against Nunes (21–5) last December, outstriking Nunes before making her tap out in the second round. It was a dominant performance, though unlikely to be repeated against a hungry, healthy Nunes. Even more than the title is at stake here. With a victory, Peña will attain an entirely new realm of greatness. But the far smarter bet is that Nunes wins for the thirteenth time in her past fourteen fights, regaining the title in the process.
