THE FIGHT

In the second round, Julianna Pena she came back more aggressive and started to enjoy the fight. Focused, she went up and applied good blows to Amanda nunes.

The 'zebra' looked like it was standing, but Peña took the position on all fours. On the back of the Brazilian, the new bantamweight champion.
