Julianna Pena Unable To Get Past The Division's No. 1 Contender
4 years agoJulianna Pena (9-4) returned to the Octagon for the first time in 15 months and was met with one of the division's most dangerous strikers in the top-ranked Germaine de Randamie. Pena held her own, landing three of her five attempted takedowns against the former UFC featherweight champion. Pena's striking numbers were not that far off from de Randamie's, landing 27 significant strikes (58 total strikes.) Pena's striking was on par with de Randamie's at the early stages of the third round. Depending on how quickly Pena will be back in action, she is worth a potential roster spot while having a solid striking outing against the division's top contender.
