Your support makes all the difference.In the main event of UFC 277 this weekend, Amanda Nunes will look to put things right after her monumental upset defeat by Julianna Pena last year.
Women’s featherweight champion Nunes dropped her bantamweight title to Pena with a second-round submission loss in December, in what is regarded as one of the biggest shocks in the history of mixed martial arts.
As Nunes tries to regain the gold on Saturday, American Pena will look to prove that her win against the Brazilian was no fluke.
The pair’s rematch follows another title fight, a rematch between former flyweight champion Brandon Moreno and Kai Kara-France to crown an interim title holder at 125lbs. Moreno dethroned Deiveson Figueiredo last year after drawing with the Brazilian in 2020, but the Mexican lost the pair’s trilogy bout this January to drop the gold.
