We get a rematch of the fight everyone expected Amanda Nunes to coast through but didn't. It will be fun to see if Pena can weather the storm again and come out with a second win over the Lady GOAT. We're in the bigger Octagon so finishes will be at a premium.

Favorite Plays for UFC 277
High Priced: Magomed Ankalaev. For all the toughness Anthony Smith has he eats a ton of punishment. Especially if he doesn't hold a wrestling advantage, which I doubt he does here. Ank can be a little too cautious at times but Smith leaves far too many openings and has a lot of miles on his chin.
Mid-Range: Matthew Semelsberger. This, again, comes down to an opponent that lets too much through his defense. And again, if Morono can't bail himself out with wrestling he's become a sitting duck. Semelsberger has shown the ability to capitalize on those opportunities.
Low Priced: Rafael Alves. This is a solid discount on a dangerous fighter. Alves has huge power and goes for broke early. Dober has shown an excellent chin but has needed that toughness far too often. Dober should be the favorite but an Alves win comes with big points.
