UFC champ Julianna Peña apologizes for ‘misconstrued’ COVID comments; defends Joe Rogan

Newly-crowned UFC bantamweight champion Julianna Peña drew some flak over some conspiracies and comments she brought up about the COVID-19 pandemic. In a recent appearance on the JRE MMA Show, “The Venezuelan Vixen” made this statement:

“I’m a massive conspiracy theorist on this whole thing, and I have been since the very beginning. I’m like, ‘This is just a money grab. They’re trying to kill us, and this is ridiculous,’” she told Rogan.

“I don’t even think it’s a conspiracy anymore with all the other stuff that’s happening, it’s just like, no, this is reality.
