When I think back to Peña a few years back, I saw her as a future champion in the division.  If we are talking 5 years ago, this matchup is being looked at much differently.  Nuñes has since rattled off a number of wins, including beating Rousey (which in retrospect wasn't a great accomplishment) and has solidified herself as the GOAT women's fighter.

 

Peña got a DUI, had a kid, and has been fairly irrelevant.  I see why the odds are what they are, and believe that there are just too many ways for Amanda to win this fight.

 

I wouldn't consider it a complete "hail mary" for Peña to win, but obviously it will come from wrestling.  She will have to overwhelm Nuñes early, and take her to the mat, which will be a task for sure.  She will then have to keep her down, and work ground and pound (and hope for an early finish)  I would give her being able to do that each and every round ala Stipe vs Ngannou 1 maybe a 2% chance of happening.  She literally needs TD, GNP, Finish.

Amanda meanwhile has unbelievable standup, whereas Peña is limited.  On the feet, this is a joke, and probably an early night.  Even if she is taken down, Amanda can A.  has good enough jits to possibly submit Peña, or B..just good enough to avoid a heavy dose of ground n pound, and be able to survive long enough to get back to her feet, or tire out Peña till the later rounds.

 

Too many ways that Amanda can win, but I would not mind seeing the upset!

Alex Perez-Matt Schnell is off of UFC 269 so we're down to 14 fights. 

As a result, I updated your confidence picks deducting one point for every fighter you had picked above Perez-Schnell. You can repick if you want but make sure you tag me if you do.

I admittedly take TUF too seriously but I thought the same
