Patience is over. Even though he made history in UFC 269, at the end of the legendary Amanda nunes and take the throne of roosters (up to 61,2kg.), Julianna Pena continues to be the target of some skeptics. New champion in the company, the Venezuelan countered critics and challenged those who doubt the efficiency of her submission over the 'Leoa'.

It was amazing. It was the second time I submitted (via choke. I did it with Sara McMann in January. It's not a common finish. I know that many people want to minimize me, say that I hadn't passed the hooks and wasn't real, that she (Amanda) only hit because she gave up,” said Julianna, in an interview with 'The Jim Rome Show'.
The champion's irritation was clear afterwards. Willing to prove that there was, in fact, a condition of superiority over the Brazilian legend, the Venezuelan launched the challenge.
“I guarantee you, and you, Jim (Rome), maybe one day you'll let me do this. If someone wants to come to my house and let me strangle them, I guarantee you will give up and you will be able to feel the strength and pressure I put on Amanda”, he concluded.
On the 12th, Peña made history by ending one of the greatest reigns in the history of women's MMA. In addition to taking the Brazilian's throne, Julianna put an end to the Bahian's undefeated streak that lasted 12 fights.
