'We"™re Going To See Whose Ovaries Are Bigger,' Julianna Peña On Her Rematch At UFC 277
For the second time in the same calendar month, the UFC will promote a pay-per-view on Saturday, this time with a pair of title rematches atop the marquee from the American Airlines Center in Dallas. ##
In the main event of UFC 277, Julianna Pena will make the first defense of her women's bantamweight title as she faces fellow TUF coach Amanda Nunes in a rematch of Pena's massive upset in December. ##
"œAt the end of the day, Amanda and I are the two best women"™s fighters in the world," Peña said at the UFC 277 media day. "œYou"™re literally getting the two best fighters in the world that are going to collide on Saturday night. I can"™t tell you that I"™m going to pull a rabbit out of the hat, I can just tell you that I"™m going to stand there toe to toe with the best in the world, and I"™m going to give my best, and we"™re going to see whose ovaries are bigger. I"™m willing to bet that that is me." ##
"œI"™m ready to snuff out this torch," Peña said. "œThe torch was passed, I snuffed it out. I"™m ready to close this chapter, and I"™m ready to move forward. With that being said, it"™s hard for me to predict what"™s in the future and what"™s going to happen. I just want to live presently at the moment, and presently I have a bigger, faster, stronger, new gym, better mental-state Amanda that"™s going to be facing me on Saturday night, and I don"™t take that lightly. I take it very seriously." ##
"œThere"™s nobody in the division. There"™s really not," Peña said. "œIt"™s a division of who? Amanda? Who else? All the girls that have fought at "˜45 just went up in weight so they could have a shot at the belt, because they couldn"™t get done at 135. It"™s a division of literally no one. To me, it"™s primarily people that either can"™t make "˜35 or just want to cut the weight. The real fights are at 135... ##
