By The Numbers: UFC 277 Pre-Fight Edition


The Ultimate Fighting Championship will once again go the title-twin-bill route at UFC 277 on Saturday at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, where Julianna Pena defends her undisputed women’s bantamweight belt against Amanda Nunes in the main event and Brandon Moreno meets Kai Kara France for the interim flyweight crown in the co-headliner.

As UFC 277 “Pena vs. Nunes 2” approaches, a look at some of the numbers the fighters on the card have brought with them:
