Amanda Nunes is regarded by most Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) fans as the greatest of all time (GOAT) in women’s MMA. Nunes who was a two division champion suffered a shock defeat at UFC 269 in Dec 2021 when she lost to Julianna Pena.
Nunes Confident Of Reclaiming Her Title
Nunes gets a chance to revenge her loss to Pena at UFC 277 which takes place on July 30 in Dallas, Texas. The Lioness claimed she wasn’t fully fit to compete at UFC 277 and that hindered her performance against Pena who ended up submitting her. Nunes has changed camps since her loss to Pena and believes that she will prove that is the GOAT of the bantamweight division on July 30.
Pena has stayed rather calm in the lead-up to this rematch, unlike the first fight. She says that she will feel like a true champ only when she has defended the belt and silenced Nunes again.
Some of the other great fights on this card include an interim fight in the flyweight division between Brandon Moreno and Kai Kara-France, as well as a heavyweight clash between fan favorite Derrick Lewis and Sergei Pavlovich.
