'We’re Going To See Whose Ovaries Are Bigger,' Julianna Peña On Her Rematch At UFC 277
For the second time in the same calendar month, the UFC will promote a pay-per-view on Saturday, this time with a pair of title rematches atop the marquee from the American Airlines Center in Dallas. ##
In the main event of UFC 277, Julianna Pena will make the first defense of her women's bantamweight title as she faces fellow TUF coach Amanda Nunes in a rematch of Pena's massive upset in December. ##

“There’s nobody in the division. There’s really not,†Peña said. “It’s a division of who? Amanda? Who else? All the girls that have fought at ‘45 just went up in weight so they could have a shot at the belt, because they couldn’t get done at 135. It’s a division of literally no one.
