Julianna Pena defeating Amanda Nunes to win the UFC women’s bantamweight title was one of the biggest upsets in the history of the sport. A rematch in UFC 277 sets the stage for high drama as Pena looks to prove that the win eight months ago was no fluke. For Nunes, who is widely regarded as the best female fighter of all time, it’s the first time she is a challenger in a title fight.

UFC 277 betting preview
With the DraftKings promo, a $5 moneyline wager gets you in on the action for a chance to win $100. Magomed Ankalev (-540) is the biggest favorite on the Main Card. Nunes is also a heavy favorite.
Matt Petela at Combat Press said:
Peña’s success in the first meeting was widely due to her ability to land several precise 1-2 combinations on the dazed Nunes. Overall, Nunes is the superior striker and was likely caught by a combination that she was uncharacteristically unable to overcome. Nunes will reclaim her belt, plain and simple. She is the better mixed martial artist and will have something to prove in the second meeting.
