The main event features a rematch for the women's bantamweight championship as Julianna Pena defends against featherweight champion Amanda Nunes. In the co-main event, Brandon Moreno and Kai Kara-France lock horns for the interim flyweight championship.
Pena looks to prove the first matchup with Nunes was no fluke as she took control late in the first round to win by submission in the second round to score the monumental upset at UFC 269 to capture the title and score of the shockers in UFC history. Now, Pena's got to prove she didn't get lucky against the woman many pundits feel is the most outstanding female competitor of all time.
Nunes, who had a remarkable run, stopping Ronda Rousey, Miesha Tate, Cris Cyborg, and Holly Holm before losing to Pena that snapped her 12-fight winning streak, looks to rebound and once again become a dual champion.
Does Pena get it done one more time? Can Nunes bounce back and regain the gold?
