DALLAS -- Julianna Peña shocked the MMA world when she upset Amanda Nunes to win the UFC women's bantamweight title at UFC 269 last December. Nunes is the greatest women's MMA fighter in the world and had looked nearly unbeatable before Peña dethroned her.
Peña and Nunes will meet again Saturday night in the main event of UFC 277 at American Airlines Center with the UFC women's bantamweight title on the line. ESPN has Nunes ranked No. 2 and Peña ranked No. 4 on its pound-for-pound women's MMA list. Nunes has said she went into the first bout with injuries to both her knees and with COVID-19.
