The North American Julianna Pena had an irregular start in the Ultimate octagon, but shocked the world by submitting the Brazilian Amanda nunes, who had been unbeatable since 2014, and win the bantamweight belt in UFC 269, in December. The current champion has a record of 11 wins and four losses in professional MMA.

On the other hand, Amanda will have the chance to avenge her latest setback. With a professional record of 21 wins and four losses, the Lioness is seen by many as the greatest MMA fighter of all time. Still the featherweight champion (up to 65.7 kg.), the Bahian seeks to regain the bantamweight title (up to 61.2 kg.) and become double Ultimate champion again.

Furthermore, in the same event, Brandon Moreno faces Ka-Kara France for the flyweight belt (up to 56,7kg.). Also on the main card, the Brazilian Paulo borrachinha plans to return to the winning path against the former champion Luke Rockhold, in a fight in the middleweight division (up to 83,9kg.).
