UFC 269: Kamaru Usman, Tony Ferguson and more react to Julianna Peña's upset victory over Amanda Nunes

The women's bantamweight championship fight at UFC 269 produced the biggest upset we've seen in the sport in a long time.

Julianna Peña shocked the world Saturday night when she defeated Amanda Nunes by submission in the second round of their co-main event fight at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. A rear-naked choke did in the now former women's bantamweight champion after Peña landed jab after jab to weaken Nunes. As a result, Pena becomes the fifth champion in this division, following Ronda Rousey, Holly Holm, Miesha Tate and Nunes.
