Amanda Nunes Batters Julianna Pena, Regains Title at UFC 277

Amanda Nunes is once again the Ultimate Fighting Championship women's bantamweight champion after dispatching Julianna Pena in the main event of UFC 277.

Showing no fear, Pena (11-5) came out looking to strike against "Lioness." However, it was Nunes (22-5) fighting out of southpaw that was finding success early as she was able to land right hooks when "The Venezuelan Vixen" rushed in. Early in Round 2, Nunes would floor Pena with a right hand and do the same shortly afterward after the champion rushed in. A huge left hand would once again put down Pena to cement a dominant second frame.
