News Julianna Pena Tells Amanda Nunes To Vacate Belt If She Doesn't Defend At Bantamweight

[pcbh167]

Edit: If you guys actually read her post LOL She only said Nunes should vacate belt if she doesn't defend her 135 belt. Pena does want to fight Nunes and thinks she has the style to beat her.

 

[Mr. Shickadance]

I would too if I were her! There is no way she ever wins that fight

 

[Ace70 V2]

I wouldn't favor her to win the belt even if Amanda vacated lol

 

[Fahcough]

Isn't that the same girl that was choked out a couple months ago

 

[Kryptt]

Sure, let Nunes wreck her.

Past speaks but it's still the past.

 

[joeson]

If you can’t beat them, try to “win” by default.

 

[milliniar]

Sure nunes hasn't fought at 135 in over a year. But Pena has 2 wins in 4 years at 135.

 

[DaleBoca]

I think she’s taking over as the least liked WMMA fighter. Man, shut the hell up.

 

[Ace70 V2]

Yep. By GDR

 

[Luthien]

Give me a break, this toad has been missing in action
for most of the last 4 years and she has the nerve <45>

 

[Joseph_McBride]

I'd rather see Pena get the shot over Holly but I'd prefer GDR part 3.

Seems like GDR/Holm will be made for March/April with the winner becoming #1 contender. War GDR

 

[HaulParris]

I can't believe I'm quoting Eminem, but the best thing about Peña's opinion is that it doesn't matter.

 

[USMCTKD]

2 wins since 2016, one win streak.... delusional

 

[Maaj19]

At least get a decent streak going jeezzz

 

[Ice Hotel]

Nice to see someone in WMMA promoting themselves tbh

“I fought the two best strikers in my division and neutralized their strikes and successfully got them taken down.”

 

[PIИKBLIИK]

Is 'neutralizing' the two best striker's getting armbarred into submission and choked unconscious? Wow, so good.

yeah seemed like Juliana left that little part out of her “call out”

 

[HaulParris]

“I fought the two best strikers in my division and neutralized their strikes and successfully got them taken down.”

She doesn't let facts or results get in the way of a good narrative. She's like Rogan in that respect - he doesn't let his eyes or the action in the cage tell the story - he tells the story he wants to tell, basing it loosely on what is actually happening.

 

[ufcfan4]

when she says she took down the two best strikers, who is she referring to? GDR and Val? I mean I get what she’s saying but it’s not really the best selling point to say you took down the strikers but neglect to mention you got subbed by them.

And I say that as someone who thinks Pena is quite talented, one of the more entertaining fighters in her weight class and probably should get a title shot because- why not. There’s not many contenders in that class.
