Julianna Peña took a tough loss at UFC 277, dropping a heavily lopsided decision to Amanda Nunes to lose the UFC bantamweight title. Peña sensationally captured that belt with a second round submission win over Nunes last year.
Between then and now the pair coached opposite each other on The Ultimate Fighter, which succeeded in galvanizing the feud between them.
Peña was at the TUF finale this weekend, where she saw her team’s fighters run the table — clinching the trophy in both the heavyweight and flyweight tournament brackets.
At that event Peña spoke about her fight with Nunes and what positives she’s taking from it.
