The new UFC women's bantamweight champion, American Julianna Peña, shared her plans after her victory over compatriot Raquel Pennington.
What I'd really like is for Amanda Nunes to quit ducking and come back inside this octagon. We're 1-1, that would be the greatest fight in Mixed Martial Arts history in the Bantamweight division. I do not believe that she's done. I want to see her back inside the Octagon so we can settle the score once and for all.
