Pena Wants The Harrison-Nunes Winner

Julianna Pena cannot pick a winner of a potential fight between UFC bantamweight champion Kayla Harrison and Amanda Nunes, however, she wants to face the winner.

Harrison submitted Pena at UFC 316 in June to claim the bantamweight title in just her third UFC fight. Following the victory, Harrison wasted no time in calling out the retried Nunes. Nunes retired as the reigning bantamweight champion after her win over Irene Aldana at UFC 289 in 2023. However, Kayla and Nunes had a face off after Kayla’s UFC 316 win.

Nunes’ return to the octagon seems more likely than ever after she reentered the UFC testing pool. In addition to losing to Harrison, Pena previously lost back-to-back fights vs Nunes but would love to get a third crack at Nunes or a rematch with Harrison, depending who wins their fight, which has yet to be officially announced.

“I haven’t seen anybody else say that they want to fight Amanda or Kayla except me. I’m willing to fight either one of them. If I could jump right into an immediate rematch with either one of them, I think that would be the best-case scenario. I don’t see any roadblocks to it, but maybe the promotion has other ideas. I’m not sure. My head says Amanda, and my heart says Kayla, so I don’t know. May the best woman win. I don’t have anything personally against either one of them,” Pena said
