Nunes' disposition and energy level was very different than their most memorable trip.

After a solid Round 1, Nunes truly began to allow her hands to go in Round 2 and dropped Nunes multiple times with punches.

Peña's offense was overaggressive on occasion, as she accused straight forward of long punches.

While a portion of the punches associated, to a great extent Peña strolled in on Nunes' greatest strikes.

The two warriors were cut open. Peña's cut turned out to be clearly evident when Nunes brought her down in Round 3.

From that point, Nunes worked weighty ground-and-pound that made a little blood into a puddle.
