Julianna Pena vs. Amanda Nunes Odds
Julianna Pena pulled off one of the biggest upsets in UFC history (she closed as high as a +700 underdog) against Amanda Nunes at UFC 269 this past December while capturing bantamweight gold.
“The Venezuelan Vixen” will attempt to defend that belt against Nunes to close out Saturday’s main card (10 p.m. ET, pay-per-view) as a far less significant underdog. Based upon implied odds, the betting market has upgraded Pena’s chances by 18-20% relative to the first fight.
Can Pena win consecutive bouts against “The Lionness” – and cement her status as the current queen of the bantamweight division – or will Nunes add another chapter to her legendary career and reclaim the belt she previously owned for a half-decade?
