• Xenforo Cloud will be upgrading us to version 2.3.5 on March 3rd at 12 AM GMT. This version has increased stability and fixes several bugs. We expect downtime for the duration of the update. The admin team will continue to work on existing issues, templates and upgrade all necessary available addons to minimize impact of this new version.

Media Julianna Pena on her return vs Harrison: "It’s gonna take some time. Im bulking up". Eyes summer return.

Kayla looked worse because she's fighting better fighters.

It was easy to look good against absolute cans with little experience back in PFL. When she fought girls like Larissa, Mokatina, and even Ladd, she didn't look half as good, and Larissa actually beat her finally.

She def has stuff to work on.

Shes not gonna just run through everyone w physicality. She def needs to do more sparring and broaden her range of strikes. Part of the problem in that last fight is that she hardly had any strikes in her arsenal to throw.

Yeh, I don't think she's really going to improve much at this point in her career.

Her strikes aren't technically good, but they're awkward and land well as a result. Oddly enough she reminds me of Ashley Yoder. She also had shit striking but somehow knew how to throw a weird 1-2 that landed amazing on way better strikers lol.

She can't really run through anyone with physicality, I think. Mcmann was clearly too much for her until she gassed. Val was too skilled and eventually caught her.

Pena is an oddly effective fighter to me lol.

She can absolutley improve. She can absolutley learn more than what she has shown on the feet. She dont have Edmund training her, and she's not liklely to get hit as hard as Lesnar did against Carwin.

I mean, I agree that she can improve. Everyone can. You reckon she actually will though?

I mean, she's 35 with 17 fights and hasn't seemed to improve at all during her entire time in the UFC.

Well she has only had 2 fights, and the Holly fight was MUCH easier than this last one.

Viera is just good fighter. She doesn't get enough credit. No one else the divison will put up her level of resistance.

It isnt just that

she really only had like 3 or 4 strikes in her aresnal. When those werent working, she was forced to just throw those same ones again

Oh, fuck, you're talking about Kayla lol.

Whole convo I thought we were talking about Pena haha.

Kayla can definitely improve her striking. It's not far off being 0 at the moment lol.

Yeh, maybe.

I can see Pena winning if it goes late. Kayla slows down a bit over 5 rounds and she hasn't been able to finish any girls who have decent wrestling yet, such as Ladd, Ketlen, Mokhnatkina, or Larissa to an extent.

And Pena is basically just a wrestler with a weird 1-2 on the feet.

Gonna be an interesting fight.

not surprised, she wants to hold that shit as long as she can. Really she was praying Nunes came back so she could get that fight but now she's likely gonna lose to Kayla and if Nunes returns its gonna be to fight Kayla.

But yeah I think this ends up being int fight week co main event.

Let´s see how it works out in her next fight. I think you need some time to feel comfortable at a new weight AND fighting better competition in the process.
And let us not forget: she didn´t have to fight, money shouldn´t be a problem with some 7-figure purses.

But she wasn't looking amazing against the better fighters in her old weight class.

May be your opinion, I can accept that. But if you get the W and your paycheck you doesn´t have to care about someones feelings. It´s still prize fighting.
 
I really don't think that bulking is the answer. Just focus on cardio and escaping bad positions. Drag katelyn into deep water beat her there.

Well, yeh, Kayla doesn't have to care about anyone's reads. She just has to keep winning. No offense, but I don't quite get your point, mate.
