She\u2019d gone on a record 12-fight tear to seize both the bantamweight and featherweight belts and mauled everyone in her path, including knocking out fellow greats Ronda Rousey and Cris Cyborg to cement herself as the women\u2019s GOAT.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The apex predator, who still holds the featherweight gold, is as dangerous on the feet &#8211; where she carries unrivalled power &#8211; as she is on the ground, where she dominates and stretches opponents as a Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt. Naturally aggressive and strong, the 34-year-old boasts 17 stoppage wins (81%), 13 of those coming by knockout.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div   id="7rtdq1biye"    class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Pe\u00f1a is a powerful wrestler with vicious ground-and-pound (three knockouts) and good jiu-jitsu (five submission wins). As pivotal to her success as these strengths are her unwavering confidence and warrior spirit. That mental strength and willingness to walk through fire to win are what fuels her and sets her apart.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It saw her win season 15 of The Ultimate Fighter back in 2013, climb the ranks and was the driving force behind her seismic title-winning upset. She entered the first fight with Nunes as a massive 7.00 underdog and comes back at 3.20 for the rematch.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 32-year-old\u2019s a decent dog in the sense that she has a high-level skillset and proved that she should never be counted out. However, as good and brave as she was to rise to the occasion in December, Nunes was well below her best. The then-double champ was complacent and dug her own grave by paying Pe\u00f1a no respect in the striking department. She also claims she went into the fight with a knee injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having paid the price, Nunes will be more than fully-focused. She\u2019s extra motivated for this one, not only because of what transpired between her and her rival inside the Octagon but also because they had to tolerate and compete against each other as coaches on the latest season of The Ultimate Fighter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Brazilian will also be wise to the smash-mouth pressure she can expect from Pe\u00f1a. As a result, she\u2019ll be more patient from an offensive perspective and defensively responsible on the feet, utilise her unprecedented championship experience to wear Pe\u00f1a down and eventually put her away to get her second belt back.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bet.machibet777-affiliate.com\/sports\/mma\/ufc\/20220731\/julianna-pena-vs-amanda-nunes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Prediction: <\/strong>Nunes via TKO.&nbsp;<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bet.machibet777-affiliate.com\/sports\/mma\/ufc\/20220731\/julianna-pena-vs-amanda-nunes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Best Bet:<\/strong> Nunes by KO\/TKO\/DQ at 2.00.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bet.machibet777-affiliate.com\/sports\/mma\/ufc\/20220731\/julianna-pena-vs-amanda-nunes\/\"><strong>Alternative Bet: <\/strong>Nunes by KO\/TKO\/Submission\/DQ at 1.74.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div   id="7rtdq1biye"    class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div   id="7rtdq1biye"    class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-black-color has-text-color has-background no-border-radius\" href=\"https:\/\/join.bet.machibet777-affiliate.com\/redirect.aspx?pid=2155&amp;bid=1477&amp;redirectURL=https:\/\/www.bet.machibet777-affiliate.com\/sports\/mma\/ufc\/\" style=\"background-color:#f2a12a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bet Now: UFC 277<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The co-headliners have also shared the Octagon before. The all-action duo duked it out back in December 2019 with Moreno (19-6-1) picking up the win by decision. A lot has happened since and they\u2019ve evolved into the two best flyweights not named Deiveson Figueiredo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div   id="7rtdq1biye"    class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreno is coming off a rollercoaster trilogy with Figueiredo. Their maiden meeting was an absolute war that ended in a draw, Moreno won the rematch by submission to become the first-ever Mexican-born UFC champion before he dropped the title back to Figueiredo by decision in January.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kara-France (23-9-1NC) has caught fire, winning three in a row to earn a crack at the champion. However, with Figueiredo sidelined with a hand injury, the New Zealander will battle \u201cThe Assassin Baby\u201d instead with the winner going on to face Figueiredo in a unification bout later this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both men are lightning quick and can do it all, but their biggest strengths are juxtaposed. Moreno is a standout grappler with 11 submissions wins, while \u201cDon&#8217;t Blink\u201d has a dozen knockouts to his credit, the most recent coming over former bantamweight champion Cody Garbrandt.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div   id="7rtdq1biye"    class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The big takeaway from their first fight was that Moreno, rather surprisingly, didn\u2019t go to his superior grappling and was still able to get the win, essentially beating the Kiwi at his own game. That will give him the confidence to stand and strike again but it\u2019s a dangerous game to play against an opponent with more firepower.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All signs point to a hard-fought battle that bleeds into the championship rounds. As such, Moreno\u2019s primed to mix it up this time; having that ability in his back pocket means he\u2019ll keep Kara-France in two minds and gives him an emergency option to shoot if he gets clipped.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both men push a fast pace, but Kara-France has only fought in three-round fights. Moreno has proved he can go five hard rounds in the first and most recent clash with Figueiredo, which gives him another advantage.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Extremely durable on top of that (he\u2019s never been stopped), he should be able to edge Kara-France everywhere, endure what he needs to and emerge victorious by decision or a late stoppage.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bet.machibet777-affiliate.com\/sports\/mma\/ufc\/20220731\/brandon-moreno-vs-kai-kara-france\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Prediction:<\/strong> Moreno via decision.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bet.machibet777-affiliate.com\/sports\/mma\/ufc\/20220731\/brandon-moreno-vs-kai-kara-france\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Best Bet:<\/strong> Moreno at 1.44.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bet.machibet777-affiliate.com\/sports\/mma\/ufc\/20220731\/brandon-moreno-vs-kai-kara-france\/\"><strong>Alternative Bet:<\/strong> Moreno by decision at 2.40.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"green\">Derrick Lewis (2.10) v Sergei Pavlovich (1.74) (Heavyweight)<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The judges will be mere spectators in this heavyweight slugfest as it\u2019s all but guaranteed to end with a knockout. Fifth-ranked Lewis (26-9) is the UFC\u2019s all-time knockout king with 13 stoppage win via strikes inside the Octagon and 21 overall, while Pavlovich (15-1) has claimed all but three of his wins by KO.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div   id="7rtdq1biye"    class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Fan favourite Lewis, aka \u201cThe Black Beast\u201d, is looking to return with a bang after his stoppage loss to Tai Tuivasa in February. A former two-time title challenger, his elite-level experience is a key advantage in this clash against a rising star and saw him instilled as the favourite before the line moved in Pavlovich\u2019s favour earlier this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div   id="7rtdq1biye"    class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Eleventh-ranked Pavlovich\u2019s only loss came on the ground against Alistair Overeem in 2018 and Lewis is not one to go for takedowns, which simplifies things and plays into the Russian\u2019s hands.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At 30, he\u2019s seven years younger and significantly faster than the Texas titan and he\u2019ll have a massive five-inch reach advantage, so Pavlovich\u2019s poised to be the last man standing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bet.machibet777-affiliate.com\/sports\/mma\/ufc\/20220731\/derrick-lewis-vs-sergey-pavlovich\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Prediction:<\/strong> Pavlovich via knockout.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bet.machibet777-affiliate.com\/sports\/mma\/ufc\/20220731\/derrick-lewis-vs-sergey-pavlovich\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Best Bet: <\/strong>Pavlovich by KO\/TKO\/DQ at 2.10.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bet.machibet777-affiliate.com\/sports\/mma\/ufc\/20220731\/derrick-lewis-vs-sergey-pavlovich\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Alternative Bet:<\/strong> Pavlovich at 1.74.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"green\">Alexandre Pantoja (1.51) v Alex Perez (2.55) (Flyweight)<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>No 4 meets No 6 in what should be an exciting flyweight affair.

The all-round threat was victorious in four of those but the loss to Figueiredo showed he still has a glaring shortcoming when it comes to staying safe in grappling situations as it was his fourth defeat by submission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div   id="7rtdq1biye"    class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Pantoja has the edge everywhere but with his submission prowess, he should be able to sink his claws into Perez and force him to tap out.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bet.machibet777-affiliate.com\/sports\/mma\/ufc\/20220731\/alexandre-pantoja-vs-alex-perez\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Prediction:<\/strong> Pantoja via submission.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bet.machibet777-affiliate.com\/sports\/mma\/ufc\/20220731\/alexandre-pantoja-vs-alex-perez\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Best Bet: <\/strong>Pantoja at 1.51.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bet.machibet777-affiliate.com\/sports\/mma\/ufc\/20220731\/alexandre-pantoja-vs-alex-perez\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Alternative Bet:<\/strong> Pantoja by submission at 4.25.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"bill-algeo-2-15-v-joanderson-brito-1-74-featherweight\"><span class=\"green\">Magomed Ankalaev (1.19) v Anthony Smith (4.60) (Light Heavyweight) <\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The rising force at 205 pounds takes on one of the division\u2019s seasoned veterans in a top-five showdown that could put the victor in line for a title shot down the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ankalaev (17-1) has ticked all the boxes on his ascend to the No 4 ranking. With a remarkable eight wins in a row, the Dagestani boasts the longest win streak in the division and sets out to defeat a third former title challenger on the trot having outpointed Volkan Oezdemir and Thiago Santos on his last trips to the Octagon.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div   id="7rtdq1biye"    class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The 30-year-old fights with controlled aggression and his style consists of two clear parts &#8211; striking and sambo. A patient and disciplined striker, he\u2019s equally satisfied with a decision win (8) and a knockout (9), while he\u2019s a smothering grappler who prefers position over submission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fifth-ranked Smith (36-16) is on a resurgence that saw him stop his last three opponents to take his knockout total to 19 and submission tally to 14. As crafty as he is skilled, the 52-fight warhorse will push the pace to try to force Ankalaev into making a mistake.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div   id="7rtdq1biye"    class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I do see Ankalaev winning the fight, but the line is ludicrous. This will be a competitive fight, so Smith is a great value underdog. The other option is a prop bet on the overwhelming favourite.
