Help me understand Julianna Pena

I always like when a dominant champ fights because there is always the chance for an upset.

Ronda was supposed to destroy Holly Holm.

Anderson was supposed to matrix Weidman. Hell, Anderson was the favorite in the rematch.

Dominant champs almost always lose to one who had "no chance" of beating them.

I'm surprised you didn't mention the textbook case, Matt Serra.
 
1. Yup - Plus Amanda (and Val for example) are just so much better than every other female fighter there isn't any competition for them
2. This 100%

Number 2 is is highly debatable, when it comes to WMMA fighters I always ask my self if she wasn't a fighter and walks in to a bar would I give her a second look ? the answer is no most of the time when it comes to WMMA (unless they are wearing something really revealing).
 
1- she has been constantly making noise and talking shit about Nunes. She’ll get another payday and Amanda will stack another victims head on the totem pole.

2- she’s doing what she chose to do in life. Maybe she likes to fight. I get a kick out of ppl who say things like “she’s too pretty for that” (whatever that is) meanwhile she’s envisioning herself scraping and punching some girl in the face. Maybe she doesn’t put her looks on the pedestal that you do.
 
Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. Or something. I think she's a beautiful lady but she's a fighter. She wants to fight for the belt and it's a desert in the Nunes divisions
 
This thread is a mess. She's too hot for MMA? Who gives a shit she wants to fight. She's not that hot? Fucking liars acting like they only bang the tens of tens.

Only relevant part is that 135 is a barren wasteland and prob will be until Amanda decides to retire taking the lineal championship with her. Once she does then things will get interesting. The only suggestion I appreciated was bringing Zingano back for a rematch. I cant remember if she won in Bellator yet or not. She should be on at least a win. Maybe Cat has the secret sauce to Amanda?
 
Julianna Pena is hot. What is she doing fighting for the UFC championship right now?

Amanda Nunes is currently a -800 favorite, and no disprespect to the Venezuelan Vixen, but that is an insult to the The Lioness. Julianna Pena has only won two fights in five years, and let's be honest, she didn't exactly wow in her victories over Nicco Monatano and Sara McMann.

I'm confused 1) how she has a title shot and 2) with good looks like hers, what's she doing fighting when she could parlay her looks towards success elsewhere. For example, her sister was a weathergirl, then got a job at Microsoft.
I see a man who is jealous and scared . Never be scared

Some people like to do for a living what they are passionate about.

Stopped reading at "Julianna Pena is hot."
 
I like to think that Pena fighting Nunes is karma for kicking dudes in the balls at a bar & lying about her training her partners intentionally injuring her for wearing TUF gear or whatever that bullshit was.

whoaa that was a lie? when he she got her knees blown out and nearly had to retire? she lied about that?
 
135 wmma is weak. All they can do is feed good looking women to Nunes.
 
She's hot but kind of looks like a tranny sometimes so that knocks her down a few knotches
 
Pena is like a 4/10 for a Latina

Legit below average

At the time this fight was originally booked (UFC 265), Pena was the highest ranked women's bantamweight fighter in the UFC who 1) hadn't already been destroyed by Nunes, 2) wasn't coming off a loss, or 3) hadn't just fought at UFC 264. Pena didn't do anything wrong coming into UFC 265, and taking away her title shot just so someone else who would be an equally huge underdog could get the shot would have been a spectacularly ugly look for the UFC.

Not hard to figure out at all.
 
You think pena is hot?
