Julianna Pena was submitted by Kayla Harrison in the second round of UFC 316, marking the end of her title reign without successful defenses. Throughout the fight, Harrison showcased her dominance and skill, overwhelming Pena. Despite the loss, Pena expressed gratitude towards her supporters and is looking forward to challenging the winner of the highly anticipated fight between Harrison and Amanda Nunes, who is rumored to make a comeback. The MMA community’s attention is now on potential future matchups and Pena’s journey ahead.
After a deluge of trash talk, Pena had little to no answer for Harrison, a two-time Olympic gold medalist in Judo and two-time PFL women's lightweight champ, in Newark on Saturday.
Time to get healed up and get ready for her next fight because I'm calling dibs on the winner!" she finished.
Harrison looked bigger, stronger, was able to get Pena down, and eventually picked up the sub, absorbing little damage in the process.
I'm super disappointed but hats off to Kayla on her win!" she finished.
