Pound-for-pound great Amanda Nunes is out to prove she is still as dangerous as ever while champion Julianna Peña is looking to prove that her last victory ...

The women’s bantamweight division is arguably the most competitive that it has ever been and that leaves the winner in an interesting situation. Stylistically, the two have several things to replicate from the first fight and several more to display that they did not the last time. After becoming arguably the greatest female fighter of all-time, and one of the most decorated champions in the overall, she elected to leave the powerhouse American Top Team in order to open her own facility. As uncharacteristic a performance as it was to witness, it did not change the fact that Peña secured one of the all-time historic upsets in the sport. “The Lioness” has certainly gone back to the drawing board, though she insists it was a long time coming. Peña has taken full advantage of the spotlight, but she also enters the rematch without the full vote of confidence of the fan base.
