LAS VEGAS – The Amanda Nunes vs. Julianna Pena women’s bantamweight title fight is official for UFC 269.
Reigning two-division champion Nunes (21-4 MMA, 14-1 UFC) and “The Ultimate Fighter” winner Pena (10-4 MMA, 6-2 UFC) successfully made weight on Friday morning for the title bout, which was originally supposed to happen in August before “The Lioness” contracted COVID-19.
