After pulling off one of the biggest upsets in mixed martial arts history, Julianna Pena is set to run it back with Amanda Nunes atop UFC 277 this Saturday.
The bantamweight title fight will either establish Pena was the woman to beat at 135 pounds, or see Nunes reclaim her double-champ status — and potentially set up a rubber match.
The co-main event of the Dallas, TX-based card saw ex-flyweight champ Brandon Moreno competing for an interim title against Kai Kara-France. The winner would likely move on to a title unification bout either in later 2022 or 2023, with champion Deiveson Figueiredo healing up from injury.
Weigh-ins for UFC 277 took place Friday morning in Dallas — check below for results.
