The former UFC women’s bantamweight champion had another thing coming at the TUF 30 set. A team captain in the next edition of the reality show, Amanda Nunes was surprised with Julianna Pena’s behavior during the recording of the new series.
On MMA Fighting’s podcast Trocacao Franca, Nunes confessed to be confused by Pena’s lack of trash talk on the show. Puzzled, Amanda shared a theory about Julianna’s different behavior: maybe the ‘Venezuelan Vixen’ does not wish to leave a bad impression of herself on television.
“Since Julianna was talking a lot, being the trash talker she is, I thought she would really bring that to TUF, but it didn’t go as I expected,” said Nunes, who will rematch Pena at UFC 277 on July 30 in Dallas.
