UFC 277 is in the books and a pair of new champions have been crowned. Amanda Nunes is once again atop the women’s bantamweight division after dispatching of Julianna Pena over 25 minutes to earn the title. Nunes scored three knockdowns in Round 2 to lead the charge and set the tone for the rest of the fight.
Plus, Brandon Moreno is once again wearing gold around his waist as the Mexican scored a brutal knockout of Kai Kara-France via body kick to earn the interim flyweight title. Moreno called into the cage currently titleholder Deiveson Figuieredo so the two could bury the hatchet ahead of their expected fourth meeting for the full title.
