Julianna Peña is once again defending her title-winning performance against Amanda Nunes at UFC 269 earlier this month.
Peña dethroned Nunes after submitting her with a rear-naked choke in the second round of their fight. The finish was clean, but the newly crowned champion has been questioned about how secure the choke actually was since her hooks were not in and the ‘Lioness’ tapped a little too quickly.
The 32-year-old has already explained that Nunes had “no choice but to tap” or she “would have broke her neck”, so the excuses of her opponent being fatigued or quitting should be invalid by now.
