The pair now have the opportunity to regain the lead by running it back. One of UFC’s most significant upsets, Pena captured the UFC bantamweight title from Nunes at UFC 269 in December.
Are we going to see a repeat of the past or will there be revenge? It is only a matter of time before the answer comes to light.
