UFC 277 card: Nunes vs Pena and all fights this weekend
Julianna Pena will look to replicate her stunning upset of Amanda Nunes this weekend, as the women’s bantamweight champion defends her title against the Brazilian in the main event of UFC 277.
Pena submitted Nunes in the second round in December, taking the gold from the featherweight champion in what is regarded as one of the most shocking results in UFC history.
Now the American will look to prove that her win against Nunes was no fluke, while the “Lioness” seeks to regain her status as a dual-weight champion.
The pair’s rematch follows another title fight, with former flyweight champion Brandon Moreno taking on 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.
