It appears that TUF champion Julianna Pena could be the next person to challenge two division UFC champion Amanda Nunes.
Pena doesn’t just want to challenge Nunes for the gold, but she wants to face the champion on Mother’s Day weekend.
“She’s ready to go, I’m ready to go,” Pena said to MMA Junkie. “I don’t see why we couldn’t fight each other next, albeit next there’s pretty much no one else I can think of that has made themselves available for her to fight. I definitely think it’s my turn. It’s my time, and I don’t see why we shouldn’t be fighting next on May 8.”
There has been no response yet from Nunes, who successfully defended the women’s featherweight title this past weekend at UFC 259.
The TUF champion would even like to have the title fight broadcasted live on ABC.
“I definitely think that it’s great that we’re both moms,” Pena said. “That’s why I think that on Mother’s Day would be a perfect time for all of this to happen. There’s no better time than live on ABC on Mother’s Day.”
