Julianna Pena Shocks The World Saturday
3 years agoAs we mentioned before this fight, Julianna Pena's best shot at victory would be to catch Amanda Nunes in a submission, and that is what happened in the co-main event of UFC 269 on Saturday night. Just 3:26 into the second round, Pena locked in the rear-naked choke to shock the world and become the new UFC women's bantamweight champion. Statistically, Pena was just as impressive by landing 79 significant strikes (90 total strikes) in 8:26 of action. We can all but guarantee that a rematch will take place, so we will re-evaluate their matchup at that time.
