UFC 277: Peña vs. Nunes 2 - Main Event Preview
In the words of the great Jon Anik, Julianna Pena’s win over Amanda Nunes turned the mixed martial arts world on its axis. Nunes is widely regarded as the best fighter in women’s MMA history, having wins over all the previous champions of the division in a dominant fashion. Julianna Pena on the other hand was widely discounted by the masses and the betting public, giving her the chance to come through as a +700 (12.5%) underdog, one of the widest closing line underdogs in UFC history. Now Julianna Pena enters as UFC champion; she remains the betting underdog to the tune of an average market comeback of +219 (31.4%) with Nunes sitting at a market average price of -273 (73.2%).
