Counting out Julianna Pena is never a good idea.
After reclaiming the bantamweight championship via a closely contested and somewhat controversial split-decision win over Raquel Pennington last year, ‘The Venezuelan Vixen’ will face another tough test this Saturday night at UFC 316.
Stepping into the main event spotlight, Pena will defend her 135-pound crown against two-time Olympic gold medalist and two-time PFL champion, Kayla Harrison.
Facing one of the biggest challenges of her mixed martial arts career thus far, Pena is treating her 12th walk to the Octagon no differently than the 11 that came before it.
