Julianna Pena mocks Kayla Harrison’s call for title fight after UFC 307 performance: ‘Give me a break’

Newly-minted undisputed bantamweight champion, Julianna Pena has once more played down a title grudge fight with Kayla Harrison, mocking her performance against perennial contender, Ketlen Vieira, as she hunts a trilogy clash with Amanda Nunes instead.

Pena, who co-headlined UFC 307 earlier this month, managed to win the undisputed bantamweight crown for the second time during her Octagon tenure — scoring a close, split decision win over Raquel Pennington in another grudge clash for the Washington native.
