Seven months after one of the biggest upsets in UFC history, fight week for Peña vs. Nunes 2 has arrived, and the countdown has officially begun.
The UFC has released its official Countdown video for UFC 277: Peña vs. Nunes 2, and the video provides a cinematic backdrop for the two title fights this weekend.
At UFC 277, Julianna Peña will have an opportunity to prove that she is not renting the bantamweight throne but is only beginning her rule. There is no better way to achieve this than to knock off the Lioness for the second straight time to erase all doubt about who is the superior fighter.
Amanda Nunes, viewed as the consensus greatest female fighter in MMA history and who herself believes is the MMA GOAT regardless of gender, is approaching arguably the biggest fight of her illustrious career when she tries to get back the only loss she’s suffered since 2014.
Was Peña’s win a fluke or destiny? Is Nunes’ reign of terror at 135 done for good or ready for Part 2 after a brief intermission? Fans will soon learn the answer in less than one week’s time.
In the co-main event, former undisputed UFC flyweight champion Brandon Moreno will take on Kai Kara-France in a rematch as well. In their first battle, Moreno scored the victory via unanimous decision in 2019.
Both men have noticeably made leaps in their careers and will now compete in a five-round bout to determine who will hold interim gold during Deiveson Figueiredo’s absence.
Here is what you can expect to see from the UFC 277 Countdown video, which you can view in its entirety at the bottom of this article.

The UFC 277 Countdown video does an outstanding job capturing Peña’s successful stalking of The Lioness dating back to UFC 200 and her determination to stay perched right where he is.
