“Yes”, White simply said, when asked if the Brazilian should have a chance to regain her throne.

This weekend, Julianna wrote her name in mixed martial arts history. Faced with what is considered, by many, to be the best fighter of all time, the Venezuelan struggled in the first round, but recovered impressively and submitted the company's legend.

With the result, Peña interrupted a sequence of 12 positive results in the Bahian's career. The athlete, who has led the bantamweight division (up to 61,2kg) since 2016, has not lost a fight in over seven years.

Without the 61,2kg group belt, Nunes still leads another division in the company. Since 2018, the Bahian has been the featherweight champion (up to 65,7kg).
