Even after a lopsided loss in the UFC 316 co-main event, Julianna Pena is determined to remain in the women’s bantamweight title picture.
Pena suffered a second-round submission defeat to Kayla Harrison on Saturday at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, ending her second reign as 135-pound queen in short order. “The Venezuelan Vixen” is already eyeing another title shot, however.
“Thank you to the fans who lifted me with your love and encouragement during this [fight camp] I love you all and feel so grateful for all the support and energy you guys give me—It truly means the world.
