The title shot campaign of Julianna Peña is gaining steam as UFC president Dana White confirms he is seriously considering her as the next opponent for dual women’s champion, Amanda Nunes.
Peña has continued to apply pressure to the UFC brass about getting the fight with Nunes, beginning with her post-fight comments after submitting Sara McMann at UFC 257. She paid close attention to Nunes’ most recent title defense — which saw the champion dominate women’s featherweight contender Megan Anderson at UFC 259 — and then started asking for her return to the women’s bantamweight division.
