Video: UFC 277 cold open teases heated rematch between Julianna Pena, Amanda Nunes

Julianna Penna did what appeared impossible by beating Amanda Nunes in the first fight. She must now do it again to secure her title as champion.

The cold open for UFC 277 has arrived with a voiceover from Sons of Anarchy and Hellboy actor Ron Perlman that teases the epic rematch between Pena and Nunes, which headlines the pay-per-view card from Dallas on Saturday night.

The rematch comes after Pena and Nunes met as coaches on the latest season of The Ultimate Fighter, and that has only thrown fuel on the fire of a rivalry to determine the best 135-pound fighter on the planet.

In the co-main event, Brandon Moreno seeks another taste of gold when he clashes with Kai Kara-France in a battle at 125 pounds to determine a new interim champion of the flyweight division.

With Deiveson Figueiredo, the reigning king of Brazil, sidelined by an injury to his right leg and unable to return to power, Kara-France and Moreno will be meeting in order for them both decide who will receive him when he is fully recovered.

Moreno holds a victory over Kara-France in a prior meeting. But the New Zealand fighter will be looking to win the UFC title for the first and venge that loss when they face off on Saturday.

Check out the cold open that kicks off the UFC 277 pay-per-view broadcast on Saturday night.
