UFC 277: Pena vs. Nunes II
Julianna Pena shocked the world when she unseated Amanda Nunes as the Champion of the UFC’s longest-standing women’s division; 135lb. Women’s bantamweight. Nunes had separated herself as the number one pound-for-pound women’s fighter in UFC history, beating every other titleholder in the history of her division and claiming gold a weight class up against the feared and respected Cris Cyborg at 145lb. (Women’s featherweight). Many considered Pena an undeserving challenger with little chance to win, and the betting market reflected such. The magnitude of the upset Pena was able to spring is what propels this fight promotionally. Stylistically, this fight is built on the gameness of the champion and the skills of the unfamiliar challenger. What will reign supreme: power and technique, or grit and determination?
