Julianna Pena and Amanda Nunes have squared off against each other twice in the past. At UFC 269, Pena defeated Nunes by second-round submission to win the UFC women's bantamweight title. At UFC 277, Nunes reclaimed her championship by sealing a unanimous decision victory.

'The Venezuelan Vixen' was scheduled to face 'The Lioness' in a trilogy at UFC 289 for the bantamweight gold but was forced to withdraw due to a broken rib. She was left seething as Nunes announced her retirement after defeating Irene Aldana by unanimous decision at UFC 289. Pena has been repeatedly claiming that Nunes decided to retire to avoid facing her for a third time.
