Last December, Julianna Peña shocked the MMA world when she upset Amanda Nunes to win the UFC women’s bantamweight title at UFC 269.
Peña and Nunes met for the second time in the main event of UFC 277 at American Airlines Center with the UFC women’s bantamweight title on the line. Nunes has said she went into the first bout with injuries to both her knees and with COVID-19. After getting healthy and moving into her new, private gym, Lioness Studio, Nunes said she will be a different fighter this time around.
Things would be different this time around as Nunes got her payback as she dropped her multiple times in the second round en route to a glorious victory after five completed rounds.
Nunes would get her belt back.
