Julianna Pena is excited about her possibilities on the second date in front of Amanda nunes. The bantamweight champion (up to 61,2 kg.) recognizes the Brazilian's quality, reveals a special focus on rematch and wants to prove herself as the best fighter in the world.
“Amanda (Nunes) and I are the best fighters in the world. You are literally seeing the two best in the world face off on Saturday. I'm not saying I'm going to pull a rabbit out of a hat, but I'll be equal. I will do my best. We will see which ovaries are larger. I'm willing to bet they're mine. The torch was passed and I put it out”, declared Peña in the 'half day' for the UFC 277.

It does not stop there. Julianna, in fact, is ready to move on and, with a new victory, project her career away from the 'shadow' of Amanda nunes in the rooster division (up to 61,2kg.).
“I’m ready to close this chapter and move on. It's hard for me to predict what's in the future and what's going to happen. I don’t take the fight lightly, but I take it very seriously”, concluded the champion.
The long-awaited settlement of accounts between the two rivals already has a date to take place. The rematch valid for the bantamweight belt, currently held by Julianna, will take place at UFC 277 scheduled for July 30th. The show will be held at the American Airlines Arena, in Dallas, Texas (USA).
