For the first time since 2019, Julianna Peña is appearing on a UFC Fight Night card. Except, this time, it is not to step in the octagon.
Peña is making her debut as a UFC broadcaster Saturday, joining Karyn Bryant, Din Thomas, and Alan Jouban as the analysts on the ESPN broadcast desk.
“Mixed martial arts is what I’m most passionate about, and I could talk about it all day long,” Peña says. “So when I got asked to sit in and talk about fighting, that was a no-brainer for me. It’s something I’ve always wanted to do, so I absolutely jumped at the opportunity.
