A pair of titles are at stake on Saturday night in Dallas when UFC 277 hits the American Airlines Center. UFC is back in Texas with a loaded fight card set and a pair of rematches atop the marquee.
Women’s bantamweight champion Julianna Pena will look to make it two wins over the consensus G.O.A.T. of women’s MMA when she battles Amanda Nunes for a second straight time. Pena shocked the world with a second-round submission of Nunes in December to claim the 135-pound title.
Plus, interim flyweight gold is on the line when former champ Brandon Moreno battles Kai Kara-France in the co-main event. Moreno previously beat Kara-France by unanimous decision in 2019 before taking on current titleholder Deiveson Figueiredo three straight times.
