Julianna Pena, despite a recent loss to Kayla Harrison at UFC 316, is focused on returning to the bantamweight title scene. After her defeat, she expressed gratitude to her fans for their support and acknowledged Harrison's victory. Pena hinted at aiming for a title shot against the winner of Harrison's upcoming fight with Amanda Nunes, who is making a comeback to reclaim the bantamweight title. Given their previous encounters, a potential trilogy bout with Nunes is plausible depending on the outcome of that fight.
I'm sorry I wasn't able to get the job done. I'm super disappointed but hats off to Kayla on her win!
Harrison is expected to face former two-division champ Amanda Nunes later this year.
Time to get healed up and get ready for her next fight because I'm calling dibs on the winner.
Pena initially became bantamweight champion with one of the biggest upsets in MMA history at UFC 269.
