Julianna Peña is bemused by Daniel Cormier and his recent comments over whether she deserves a third and final fight against Amanda Nunes.
Peña and Nunes are 1-1 after their two fights. The ‘Venezuelan Vixen’ dethroned the champion by second-round rear-naked choke at UFC 269, but she failed to hold onto the UFC bantamweight championship as the ‘Lioness’ assumed the throne again after earning a unanimous decision at UFC 277.
Nunes’ performance in the rematch was dominant, so many, including former two-division UFC champion Cormier, thought a trilogy was not warranted. Added to that, Peña has yet to return and prove why she should have another championship opportunity.
