Amanda Nunes and Julianna Pena put on a classic at UFC 277 Saturday night.

Fans inside the packed American Airlines Center in Dallas were treated to it all, as Nunes once again became a double-champion.

The reigning UFC featherweight titleholder dethroned Pena for the bantamweight belt, avenging her 2021 submission loss.

In the co-main event, Brandon Moreno claimed the interim flyweight title with a finish of Kai Kara-France.

Moreno, the former champion, dominated the first two-plus rounds before finishing Kara-France in the third. He delivered a nasty liver kick that spelled the end for Kara-France.

Sergei Pavlovich scored a first round finish of Derrick Lewis, Alexandre Pantoja submitted Alex Perez and Magomed Ankalaev finished Anthony Smith to round out the main card.

On the prelims, Alex Morono, Drew Dober, Hamdy Abdelwahab, Drakkar Klose, Michael Morales, Joselyn Edwards, Nicolae Negumereanu and Orion Cosce were winners.

The event was a sellout with an announced crowd of 19,442 and a gross revenue of $4,455,691. That made it the highest grossing event in arena history and the 21st consecutive sellout of full-capacity venues for the UFC.
