The UFC 277 main event features a women's bantamweight title rematch between champion Julianna Pena (12-4) and former champion Amanda Nunes (21-5). Their first fight saw Pena pull off a massive upset as a +700 underdog, submitting Nunes in the second round.

Despite being the champion, Pena enters as a +240 underdog, while Nunes is favored at -280. Key prop bets include Pena by submission at +750 and Pena inside the distance at +450. For Nunes, who has 17 career finishes, props on her winning by stoppage offer good value.

First Fight Breakdown:

• Nunes dominated round 1 with effective leg kicks
• Pena showed dangerous activity from bottom position when fight hit ground
• In round 2, Pena's pressure broke Nunes mentally and physically
• Historic upset victory for Pena via submission

Keys to Rematch:

• Nunes needs better cardio and must stick to kicking at distance
• Pena likely to pressure early to replicate first fight success
• Expect Nunes to be better prepared for Pena's aggressive style
• Fight could devolve into a brawl if Nunes can't maintain distance

The rematch takes place Saturday in Dallas, Texas. Nunes aims to reclaim her dominance while Pena looks to prove the first win wasn't a fluke.
