Congratulations to Julianna Pena, fifth woman to hold the undisputed Ultimate Fighting Championship women’s bantamweight title.
In the co-main event of UFC 269 on Saturday, “The Venezuelan Vixen” pulled off one of the greatest upsets of all time, dethroning Amanda Nunes via rear naked choke in the second round. “The Ultimate Fighter” Season 18 winner had campaigned and lobbied for a title shot for over a year, eventually getting her wish despite having gone just 1-1 over that time. She entered her matchup with Nunes, perhaps the most dominant fighter in the sport over the last five years, as a prohibitive underdog, and ultimately none of that mattered.
