Media Peña wants all the smoke

good for her but I don’t think she keeps the title very long
 
She's not that good but she has the GOAT attitude

WAR PENA!!!
 
lol she really is full of herself. congrats on the win though.
 
Valentina would finish her easily again.
 
She won't be champ for long... not hating... just my honest assessment of her skills.

But hats off to her for dethroning Amanda and going into the history books... she earned it!
 
Nunes had a great first round. She knocked her down twice, controlled her on the ground and ended up expending too much energy cranking Pena's neck trying to get a submission. I was already worried that Pena successfully got under Nunes skin and she was trying to prove she is superior to Pena everywhere and there was nothing Pena could do. Pena looked terrified on the ground, but Nunes spent way too much energy in the 1st round.

Her cardio was shot in the 2nd round. Whether it is the old Nunes cardio back at 135 lbs or effects of COVID, she was completely checked out in 2nd round and had lost all energy. No matter how sloppy the punches were from Pena, if Nunes is checked out, none of her strikes are going to have an impact and the speed slowed down drastically. Her cardio is the main problem at 135 lbs. At 145 lbs, she has proven she could go for 10 rounds against Spencer. Whether she can fix it or not, that remains to be seen.

I have a feeling Pena would duck a rematch. Unless Dana White forces her (or it is in the contract), I think she is going to prefer fighting someone else.

She has never had good cardio at 135.
In the GDR fight she was already tired after just 1 round as well, they went 5 rounds because she was able to take GDR down and just lay on top of her. She knew she couldn't do that against Peña.

As you saw she's very confident, I don't think she would duck a rematch. But I do think she should rematch GDR first.

She was gassed badly because of the demolition in the first round. Once you are gassed, even the best fighter would look like sh*t because you have no energy to defend or attack.

Pena herself said, Nunes did not train seriously according to her own intel. She knows Nunes would not take it lightly, which is why I am sure she will duck Nunes unless Dana White forces her to rematch because of contract clause and Nunes' history. Germaine has been out of a long time and has no plans to return.
