Both combatants project personas that are in direct opposition to each other. Nunes is your typical MMA badass – the tail of the walk with a foul grimace reflecting her evil intentions.
The same does not apply to Peña. She is incredibly feminine for a UFC fighter, often styling her hair and wearing makeup. Of course, this doesn’t matter once the bell rings, but it seems to have had some effect on Nunes.
Online sportsbooks might think Nunes can’t be fooled again, but watch this video and think twice before you underestimate Julianna Peña.
Peña’s victory over Nunes at UFC 269 is one of the biggest upsets in Ultimate Fighting Championship history, with some betting sites offering odds of +600 on their odds of winning.
This time their +220 chances are much closer to equalizing. Stakes of $1 on Peña’s odds at UFC 277 rewards bettors with $2.20 net winnings.
There’s not much prospect of gains by putting Nunes’ -280 moneyline in action a bit, but if you agree with many MMA enthusiasts who think Amanda will run all over Peña, this is easy money.
Nunes vs Peña Prop betting
