HONOLULU – Upsets happen in MMA, and if all goes according to plan Arlene Blencowe plans to remind everyone as much. Julianna Peña shocked the world when she beat Amanda Nunes via second-round submission in the UFC. At Bellator 279 on Saturday, Blencowe (15-4 MMA, 8-4 BMMA) aims to etch something similar into the record books when she takes on champion Cris Cyborg (25-2 MMA, 4-0 BMMA) for the second time. “If anyone is an MMA fan, history has just shown recently that major upsets are quite doable,” Blencowe told MMA Junkie at a news conference Thursday.
