Amanda Nunes is looking to reclaim the title Julianna Peña took from her.

UFC 277: Peña vs. Nunes 2
Saturday, July 30 | TV: ESPN, PPV
Nunes had been victorious in 12 straight bouts, including nine title fights. That was until Peña defeated her via submission in the second round back in December.
Nunes is also the owner of the featherweight belt, a distinction she’s held onto since 2018. And among all these title fights, most were over in the first round.
Nunes is 21-5 all time while Peña is 12-4. The only title fight Nunes has lost is against Peña, which makes this that much more suspenseful. Nunes has -275 UFC odds to win.
Also on Saturday, Brandon Moreno and Kai Kara-France will face off in a flyweight interim title bout. Moreno’s MMA odds to win are -225.
Moreno, who’s 19-6-2, most recently lost in his third matchup against Deiveson Figueiredo, a unanimous decision. Moreno and Figueiredo’s first fight ended in a draw, and Moreno won via submission in the sequel.
Kara-France enters the fight having won his previous three.
