Julianna Peña vs. Amanda Nunes Prediction and Pick

Peña cashed as a +700 underdog in December, handing Nunes her first loss since 2014 via second round submission. Peña was able to weather Nunes' early offense and force a grapple heavy approach, eventually landing a takedown and finishing it on the ground.

Now we enter this fight, and based on the first viewing I don't believe we can line Peña north of +150. Sure, Nunes' physicality is far superior to that of the 'Venezuelan Vixen' but she doesn't have the cardio to hold up after the first five minutes.

Nunes landed 46% of her significant strikes in the first bout while Pena threw 36 more strikes and landed 58% of them.

Many will be flocking to the Nunes side based on her track record and the drop in price, but I'm not sure there hasn't been enough of a reaction to how she lost that last fight as Peña fought on her terms and dragged it past the point where Nunes is as effective and dangerous.

Let's back another upset.

PICK: Peña ML (+230)
