Julianna Pena granted stipulation order of continuance in assault case

Julianna Pena is out of the woods with regards to her legal issues, for now.

Spokane Municipal Court recently granted the popular UFC women's bantamweight contender a stipulation order of continuance in her assault case, according to a court spokesperson. If Pena stays out of trouble for the next year, the charges will be dismissed.

"Frankly, in my view, charges should have ever been brought in the first instance," Pena's attorney Carl Oreskovich told MMA Fighting. ... "I don't have any expectation that she'll do anything other than comply with it and get the case dismissed.
