Julianna Pena wants a trilogy bout with UFC women’s bantamweight champion Amanda Nunes.
“Everyone keeps asking me what’s next,” Pene wrote in a recent Instagram post. “I’m getting my belt back that’s what’s next! A trilogy with [Nunes] is the fight to make. I did everything I said I was going to do going into that first fight. I gave Amanda the immediate rematch within six months and man maybe I should have sat out for two years like she does?”
Pena upset Nunes at UFC 269, scoring a second-round submission win over the long-reigning champion. Pena used pressure and output to overwhelm the champ, who was a -1250 favorite over Pena, who entered the bout as a +210 underdog.
