Holly Holm förlorade senast sin andra raka match i karriärer, då hon besegrades av Valentina Shevchenko via ett enhälligt domslut under ”UFC on FOX 20”. En som inte imponeras av före detta bantamviktsmästarinnan Holm är Julianna Pena, som hade följande att säga via ”The MMA Hour”:
No, I wasn’t surprised. I’ve been saying for a while now that harmless Holly couldn’t hurt a fly, especially in a five-round fight. It’s just a little nickname. She was a little bit overrated, she got thrown into the mix and got into the top 10 after beating up some people that have not been around as long. So I think she got a little lucky with the choices of opponents that she’s had.
Pena hade även följande att säga om före detta mästarinnan Ronda Rousey:
I just know that the division has been changing a lot more now that Ronda is not the champion and I knew this was going to happen after that. Just because I feel Ronda is a one-trick pony who has been able to rack up all these wins and be so dominant, I knew the second she lost, it would be an open division for the rest of us.
Once she was exposed, that it would be harder for her to get back in there and then second off, get back in there to win her belt. It’s good for the other girls to show the world that there are other 135-pound women out there other than Ronda Rousey.
Pena har vunnit samtliga av sina matcher i UFC där två av segrarna tillkommit via TKO, och sist besegrade hon Cat Zingano via ett enhälligt domslut under UFC 200.
