Pena gives Rousey another verbal kicking (trigger warning: fat shaming)

UFC women’s bantamweight Julianna Pena is aware of the controversy caused by her recent comment toward ex-champ Ronda Rousey. She’s both regretful and defiant about her choice of words.

In an interview with TMZ, Pena said Rousey is “like the emperor and no clothes. She’s broken a little bit. I just think no one really cares about Ronda Rousey and her fat arms anymore. But I guess some people do.”

Pena’s use of the word fat drew immediate criticism from MMA observers who accused her of “fat shaming” the ex-champ, who’s spoken openly about her struggle with body issues and bulimia.


Pena (8-2 MMA, 4-0 UFC) today told MMAjunkie that she once struggled with weight issues, and while it isn’t her intention to fat shame anyone, she said her comments came out of frustration about being repeatedly asked by the media about Rousey (12-1 MMA, 6-1 UFC) and her still-undefined career plans.

EDIT:
​

Mods cut out 60% of my post but Pena also said:

"I need to pick up the best possible fights for me, and Ronda’s been needing an ass-kicking from me for a while... I want to hurt Ronda Rousey...
/
I think a lot of people have forgotten how rude and how much of a bitch she was to me on the show... she’s disrespected me...
/
I’ve literally had it up to here with this chick.
/
Why does she automatically jump ahead and get a title shot? Either let me fight Ronda, or let me fight for the title.”

 

Tell Pena to get comfortable, make it 170 lbs

 

Ronda Arousmey 'mon back!!!

 

Julianna should lay off the deep dish

 

PLEASE GOD SOMEONE BEAT PENA AND NUNES TO A LIVING DEATH

 

She's the easiest possible fight for Rousey.

 

damn Rousey white knight squadron on this thread immediately lol

 

I'm not a big fan of Rousey, but I would root for her if she came back and fought Pena.

 

Pena deserves the title shot. R3 is irrelevant.

 

LOL! Pena looks like Mark Kerr in drag with sunglasses on! Look at that jawline!

 

Now i'm far from Ronda's biggest fan but i wouldn't mind seeing her arm bar the shit out this goof

 

She shouldn't apologized

 

this is the world we live in now n days...people are traumatized by someone saying someone else has fat arms...wow

Pena has that Natalie Nunn crescent-shaped jaw.

 

Pena is a beautiful woman and a great fighter.
