Amanda Nunes vs. Julianna Pena 3 has been set as the headline fight for UFC 289
The MMA world is eagerly anticipating a long-awaited rematch between Amanda Nunes and Julianna Pena as they prepare to face off for the UFC women's bantamweight championship in a trilogy bout. The two fighters have a storied history, having split their previous matches with one victory apiece.
UFC 269 was a night to remember as Julianna Pena pulled off an incredible upset, defeating Amanda Nunes and claiming bantamweight gold with a second-round submission victory. It was a stunning performance that left the MMA world in shock, as Pena became the first fighter to defeat Nunes in almost six years.
However, their rematch at UFC 277 saw 'The Lioness' regain her championship belt with a commanding unanimous decision victory, reaffirming her status as one of the greatest female fighters of all time. Despite the setback, 'The Venezuelan Vixen' remains a fierce competitor and will undoubtedly be looking to avenge her loss and reclaim the bantamweight title when she faces Nunes for a third time at UFC 289.
