I believe Amanda Nunes my favorite fighter will be better than how she fought the first time against Peña. She fought different. I believe she'll do better than how she did the first and get that belt back on her shoulder.

I have this weird feeling that the rematch is going to be a blowout loss for Amanda Nunes.When a longtime champion absolutely looks just as bad or even worse than the first time around.

Julianna Pena is my pick for the rematch. I feel the fight will end in a TKO.I feel Julianna is probably the worst style match up for Amanda a durable stubborn grappler with good stamina and just enough striking to get by.

I feel Julianna’s durability, tactical adjustment and pace was the deciding factors in the first time.Sure Pena got rocked but she continued her pressure fighting. I don’t think almost anyone talked about the adjustment Julianna did with leg kicks. She either checked some or evaded them completly(Amanda leg kicks are great and a key factor in her wins) after getting hit with a leg kick early in the fight. Pena can push a high pace for more than one round.Amanda technique will start to regress if put into that situation again.

In UFC history there been 5 instances in women’s title fights that a title challenger that fought for the title lost her previous fight.All five of them lost.

Amanda Nunes leaving American Top Team and starting her own gym before the rematch is a red flag to me. I think the relationship between her and Kayla Harrison questions bother her.To many MMA fighters that start their own gym during their fighting career that is usually a sign that their careers are declining.I honestly don’t know the correlation?

I honestly feel 34 is fighters that rely on explosive moments will start to regress imo especially for females.Which is bad for Nunes since a big part of her success is her explosiveness.

Wake up guys..Nunes was sick from weight cut in last fight...Nunes will be in shape this time and is just better at ever

[thomasdavy]

Nunes will be a monster this time and then fight shevchenko

[jfouellet]

Nunes all day!! Peña fought the weakest Nunes we ever seen, even in the first round you can tell Nunes wasn’t herself

[TabooRevolution]

I was amazed to see Juliana beat her at her own game at stand up! That was the best girl fight in history imo.

[rocky]

I can’t see Amanda losing a 2nd time to Peña. Nunes was not herself I. The first fight never saw her look like that before. I believe the weight cut had a lot to do with it but regardless she lost the fight and Peña fought well. I see a different outcome this time BUT I did like what I heard from Julianna in a previous interview saying she is the challenger in this fight nothing proven until you defend your belt and win. I like her mindset and focus. I still have to go with Amanda tho CANT wait for the fight next weekend

[nohro]

Juliana's heart is unquestionable. So you don't bet on her

[tinaruzol]

Amanda Nunes she is the GREATEST female fighter.

[FishinAddict]

Nunez going to whup sum ass this time.

[Superman_]

When I found out Dana White was planning to already make Amanda Wounded Lioness Nunes vs Kayla Harrison for the belt I was thinking hmm 🤔 he evil plan backfired and now with Kayla Harrison resigning with PFL I'll say this if Amanda Wounded Lioness Nunes miraculously beats Julianna Peña it will be because Dana White rigged it so he could set up the trilogy which as we all knows a trilogy means bigger money. But I'll give my same prediction as I predicted correctly for the first fight and that's Julianna Peña shocking the world and winning once again. So Julianna Peña wins again but instead of winning by submission I have her winning this time by knockout.

[dam]

I love them both. Both are good fighters.

[DaPumpRoom]

love Nunes, but think Pena will retain the title.

[tahamamaluba]

GOOD AFTERNOON AMANDA YOU ARE UFC CHAMPION FIGHTER EVER. SOMEDAY YOU BECOME A MOVIE STAR INCLUDE IN FAST AND FURIOUS 11-AND 12, OK

[charlesrussell]

Pena. Every giant has its slayer...I think Pena is Nunez slayer

[reddawg]

Amanda did not look like herslf for sure but somtimes the opponent makes it look like that but im gonna go with amanda now she knows what shes up against it will be a diferent fight

[stacybry]

Nunes wins !! She had a bad night last time out.

[perhentzepetersen]

Amanda gassed out in the first fight. It is as simple as that. Not Pena´s fault though. I see this as her biggest weakness.

[ac]

Peña goes from a total beast to super sexy in the blink of an eye.

[niceade]

I feared for this fight, though I want Peña to win but from analysis I fear for pena if nunes is really ready ..I could see a lot holes in Amanda in the last fight which projected that she didn’t train well
