Former Ultimate Fighting Championship flyweight champion Nicco Montano has a new opponent for her return to the Octagon at UFC Sacramento.
Originally, she was expected to take on Sara McMann, but the Olympic silver medalist announced on social media she was out of the fight. According to MMAFighting.com, Julianna Pena will step in to face Montano.
Pena last fought back in 2017 where she headlined UFC on Fox and was submitted by Valentina Shevchenko. Before that, the 29-year-old beat Cat Zingano and Jessica Eye during a four-fight winning streak.
