Title shot off
Pena will no longer fight at UFC 265 on Aug. 7 after her opponent Amanda Nunes tested positive for COVID-19, Nolan King of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
There is a tentative plan in place to reschedule this title bout in December, but an official date should be announced over the coming weeks. Pena likely will not fight again until then. She last was in the Octagon in January when she submitted Sara McMann.

Getting title shot
Pena will square off against Amanda Nunes for the bantamweight division belt on Aug. 7, Brett Okamoto of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Pena was believed to be set to fight Holly Holm for her next bantamweight bout, but it never came to fruition and instead she will get her shot at the title despite losing two of her last four bouts. Pena's shot comes following the submission of Sara McMann (rear-naked choke) at UFC 257, but her competition level skyrockets in her next fight. Nunes hasn't lost since 2015 and should enter the fight a heavy favorite over Pena.

Slated to fight Holly Holm

ANALYSIS
Pena defeated Sara McMann via submission (rear-naked choke) at UFC 257 in January and is now 2-1 over her past three appearances. She'll take on a top contender in the division in May. Holm has won her past two fights via unanimous decision, most recently defeating Irene Aldana at UFC Fight Night in early October. The two fighters are even in reach, but Holm has a slight edge in height.
