She says she wants everyone to forget about Nunes and just focus on her but I guarantee she’s going to be talking about Amanda forever
Facts 💯%
She's obsessed with Amanda
@@elainedejulio4174 she lives in her head rent free
Forever!!!!
This is giving Dominic Reyes energy 🤦🏽♂️
She wanted to storm the cage whilst a legend was retiring from a sport she dedicated many years of her life to… what a lovely woman
exactly, what a very nice woman
MY GOD!!!!! PENA IS INSANELY DELUSIONAL😂🤣😂
Yes she's is
U have to be, she’s a fighter, you’re delusional for not thinking she’s doesn’t think is delusional
why do u think she won the belt? She strong mentally and didn't doubt herself. Best to be delusional that whatever aldana was, she lost before the fight began
@@SocraticMind89 you're right.. if you don't think you're capable of being world champ then its stupid to be fighting just to be one of the other guys.
@@AroidLommcal-wk7gu there’s a difference between believing in yourself , being mentally strong and then being delusional 😂🤣😂what are u gonna tell me next??, that joe Biden is your hero😂🤣😂
She's the only one on planet earth that wants a 3rd fight with her and Nunez. 2nd fight was so lopsided , that no one wanted to see a 3rd fight.
Huh? did you ask every person on Earth if they wanted to see a 3rd fight? I highly doubt it.
Didn’t ask me. I wanted to see it over this fight. It’s 1 to 1. I think Amanda shoulda fought one more but not her fault Juliana got hurt.
@@Michael_AB yes, he did.
@@ayvzu oh wow! Neat!!
@@SorryYoureNotIrish she beat her once. Enough said.
“I’m very unlikeable to some.” No truer words have ever been spoken.
And “some” is an understatement especially after this past week
That goes for anyone who puts themselves in the public eye Go watch an Amanda interview and see all the people talking about how un likable she is At least she’s self aware and knows how this works
To most...
Least delusional Pena statement.
She means many
Juliana: “I’m over Amanda, she’s dead to me.” Also Julianna: prints out multiple photos of Amanda and comes on Ariel’s show to complain about Amanda. Man you would think there was a worldwide shortage of salt due to Juliana
My grandpa had Muhammad Ali My dad had Mayweather I have Julianna Peña
Something about her energy i don't like
be real.. if you were 1-1 with someone and they retired and you can't get your trilogy when you know you can beat that person.. wouldn't you be salty??
@@DynastyIcon Good call. Def way I see it to. It was the best fight out there for the division. Yes, Amanda knocked the shyt out of her in fight 2. She may very well have done it again. Like Julianna said, Ive posted, beating aside, the chic just kept getting back up for more. That is fighter heart. All Julianna needed to do was have a game plan to avoid Amandas right hook from the left stance. Could she? Well, we'll never know. This is the point.
This girl is so full of herself. She needs to get off her high horse and humble b humble. She will never have the career amanda has had. She only wants clout and I know even if she becomes champion she will not reign like amanda did 7 years holding 2 belts so Julianna I know u want to seem so important but ur tend to forget u got choked out to Germain, Valentina tapped u out. So come on don't act like u never tapped get off ur high horse girl
This was the best revenge from Amanda.
😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
😂😂
Amanda would still knock her teeth out
My grandpa had Muhammad Ali My dad had Mayweather I have Julianna Peña
would you rather get your teeth knocked out or quit and tap out..
nah amanda would’ve tapped again
@@DynastyIconI’d happily live toothless before I ever tap out.
@@AS-nc5dz lol 90% of trilogies go to the person who won the second fight. Pena got a fluke and then nunes dominated her bum ass
So Amanda holds the title of “Greatest Women’s Fighter Of All Time” and Peña holds the title of… “Most Annoying/Most Delusional Fighter To Ever Step Foot In An Octagon”
CM Punk says hi
BOOYAH!!
Peña beating Amanda was like Matt Serra beating GSP. It’s like Halley’s Comet once every 76 years.
Bruh it’s worse than Matt Serra beating GSP. At least Matt Serra was on a winning streak when he fought George. Julianna was literally on a 1 fight winning streak and got finished by Germaine de Randamie the fight before that.
@@djb.wrastles.2072 foreal make it make sense I guarantee there was way other women deserving of the title shot with longer win streaks than 1!!!!
NJ I agree but its approx every 76 years... it last came in 1986 which is where you probably got "86" from. I remember thinking when my Mum and I were standing in the paddock that if I was lucky enough to see it again my Mum wouldn't be with me.. talk about bitter sweet. :(
Good one with the Halley comet😂
@@petetherealrelentless6542 Let's go Mets 1986 . LoL
She literally has printed pictures of Amanda right in front of her while she says "I'm over her, she's dead to me"😂
All I’m gonna say is she could fight another 10 years and it would still not amount to amandas accomplishments
Exactly! Julianna sounds arrogant and bitter. NOT cool
Like making Amanduh tap out?
@@FrancyFam7 You're caught up in one moment ,....one fight....compared to all of Amanda's accomplishments, incuding giving Pena a beat down the 2nd fight.
Pena best win was a 40 yr old Sara Mcmann 😂
What if she became double champ defending each belt twice a year for the next 10 years ?
She's such a clown, Amanda crushed that tomato can in their last fight. She pulled lame in this fight, not Amanda's fault.
I agree the GOAT dropped you 6 times and then had 10mins top.control Pena is middle kf the pack had a good night and can't wait to see her lise her next title fight Her running at the opponent while punching iike a 5 year old didn't work....she's really unlikable
@@TheMurph20 didnt get finished tho Pena choked her out
@@DangleSan Thank you. Someone had to say it. I never liked Nunez especially after the robbery that was Nunez vs Shevchenko 2
@@richardrude9087 I think Amanda got kind of lucky that Pena got hurt, The fact that she doesn't fear her is still underrated by the masses is funny especially considering how scared aldana was in there, Julianna was overconfident in the rematch not prepared for Amanda's southpaw switch, It's probably best Amanda retired though her last 5 fights she got finished only had one submission, And was unable to finish her last few opponents including Pena and an absolutely terrified Aldana, Amanda's been great but she's lacking the will to finish, If she just took all down and went for a finish I think Aldana would half welcomed it, when You can't finish an opponent who's terrified of you and doesn't want to even be there it's time to hang them up
LOL. ☝️Are these Julianna and her BF accounts? Finish them guys😂
“Storm the cage”? For what? Get her ass whooped sooner?
😂😂😂😂😂
For real 😂😂
On god bro
😂😂😂😂😂😂
She’s nuts
Peña is delusional..🤦🏾♂️
this is ronda lousey type crazy, but ronda was a winner until she got exposed
@@trolllife7450 Super well said lmaooo
@@trolllife7450 absolutely !
She sure is delusional I just can't listen to her anymore she's so annoying
Big time 🤡
Can’t wait for Valentina to move to the weight class and embarrass Peña
Valentina already beat her. But I'd like to see her do it again, by ko/tko this time though please😂
She’s getting a title shot after a tune up hopefully
@@tristanxjasonValentina is the best women’s fighter in the UFC. Don’t think she needs a tuneup.
I had a friend who speaks little English but is a huge mma fan ask me what cringe is. I said Peña and he immediately understood 😂 Cringe or batshit crazy, either works for me lol
Apart of me think her confidence is elite😂😂😂
it was X20 on TUF, but I felt bad flr her at times
The word "CRINGE" is too diverse. Names like Adesanya, Nate Diaz, Bobby Green, Justin Gaychee, Kevin Holland, Anthony Smith, Jessica Eye etc can be found within the term CRINGE if you look closely in the dictionary
@@sloppyvm7110 you’re right. I grew up sayin corny.
@@sloppyvm7110 is it corny or corney?
“She’s dead to me she’s irrelevant” *has three printed out pictures of Amanda after she got 50-43’d*
Amanda is living in Pena's weird head. Geesh.
Lady, nobody sane thinks that you beat Nunes the first time because you're 'just that good.' Nunes proved she was having issues by absolutely _destroying_ you in the second fight.
amanda couldnt finish her tho
@@DangleSan What did Peña do that proved she was a threat in the second fight? She didn't win a single round. She proved how tough she was by getting starched for 5 rounds and she is good at taking a beating without quitting. 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
@@DangleSan Amanda didn't have to finish her. She dominated her for 5 rounds. Amanda didn't finish Aldana either, so what? She still dominated her as well. So STFU
YES SAY THAT LOUDER, SHE IS DEFINITELY HAVING BI-POLAR TENDENCIES 😅
@@DangleSan Amanda didn't try to finish her. She kept holding off just as she was about to either k.o. or submit Peña, to drag it out and punish her for five rounds. Watch the fight.
Shevchenko can move up now to become a 2 division champion.
EZ
Nope , she's done as well
@@spacedout3233 you’re delusional son
She has to get her belt back first tf 😂
Shevchenko lost to Alexa Grasso and before that she was getting outclassed by Santos.
This was extremely cringey and Nunes will continue to live rent free in her head.
Pena best win was a 40 yr old Sara Mcmann 😂
this girl is so delusional amanda ain’t ducking you come on 😂. she gonna run with this till she’s retired
@@MotoGearSolid why? Who's Peña
@@yasmin1261 My grandpa had Muhammad Ali My dad had Mayweather I have Julianna Peña
@@yasmin1261 actually can I have your snap or Instagram?
@@MotoGearSolid that's as dumb as saying pena shouldn't have got injured
@@rocchi5706 down bad…
Bro the difference with Amanda is she actually wants to fight. She was smiling the whole time in the second fight, not to mention Peña was flying around anytime she got hit 😂
Yep.. Julianna looked panicked the whole fight. The second knockdown of Rnd 2, was cartoonish and hilarious 😂 BOOYAH!!
"I let her have my moment" "I ran out of time" 😂😂😂
I let her have my moment killed me, what is she talking about?! She’s not champ anymore and she pulled out, how is her retiring YOUR moment?😭🤣😭😭
This is completely ridiculous hahahaha saying GSP came to watch her fight 😂
right lol considering gsp has said on record that he doesn't like seeing women fight
If GSP was there for anyone , he was there for GOAT Amanda Nunes lmao
You think she’s lying about what GSP said to her?
@@SpyroTek you think GSP actually said that to her and not about the GWOAT? Lmao
@@thejerharts No, I'm just asking you if you think she is lying.
Didn't she tap to Valentina. She ain't begging for that fight.
I'm not understanding why she's so upset at Amanda when she was the one who was supposed to be there fighting for the trilogy. Like Amanda said pena is the one who didn't show up she had a supposed rib injury but she sure was at the fight watching it so she should be mad at herself. Amanda was there ready for her. I've never seen a person so delusional She really thinks she's the best in the UFC please stop Juliana I just can't listen to her Anymore I cannot wait till the next girl comes in and smashes her. Amanda is the goat and I'm glad she retired the way she did. Why isn't Juliana showing the pictures Of herself after the fight because they clashed heads and Amanda always walks with crutches after the fight her legs are bad she even said that so I don't understand what Juliana is talking about. She got Beat for 25 whole minutes But if you notice she never talks about that or did it interview about her losing that time.
On top of that, she never even says what the injury was… just “my ribs”
@@notrealpalmer Juliana is just delusional She's just disrespecting Amanda on every interview just give Amanda the respect she deserves for all she has done in the UFC to earn those belts and for the years that she had them and that's it keep it moving.
Said "she's dead to me" multiple times from the beginning to the end of talking about her for 30 minutes straight. 😂
"There's no one at 145" then proceeds to list off the people amanda beat at 145😂😂😂
which is still nobody... you clown
Hot Take: Felicia Spencer beats Pena 😂
Amanda is so important to her but she is not important to Amanda. Julianna just acknowledge how awesome Amanda is and wish her well. What Amanda did to Cyborg was just next level. Peña would never do that to Cyborg.
Cyborg, Holm, Valentina, GdR, Rousey, Aldana... Pena would lose to all of them.
But Amanda won’t be able to do that to cyborg again it was a fluke. Weaker fighters beat Amanda and lasted 5 rounds with her, and that’s real talk.
This girl is the Colby Covington of female mma fighting 😂
Only difference is Colby is genuinely skilled and a good fighter
@@1025mufaddal Facts!
How?. She's also an amazing fighter or else she wouldn't of got that title opportunity and also wouldn't be at that top level of the sport. And even more the UFC.... so how could you say that?
Juliana is playing the heel role so good. I genuinely hope she never wins or touches the title again
I can't wait till the next girl comes in And beats her down and then we're gonna see what she has to say then because all she does is talk about Amanda she's so obsessed with her
shes like...ill go full ric flair.....but then again this isnt scrip.....*gets submmited yet again by a kickboxer*
What does heel mean?
@@Angie-nb4pg villain/antihero
@@FloRidaVEVO98 thanks 😊
Maybe I'm in the minority here, but I like her as a heel. She's getting some attention, she stirring things up and getting people to care. To be clear though Amanda is absolutely the goat of women's mma
When Amanda said she was weird, it was spot on.
She embarrassing herself
she's riling all of you up and is enjoying every bit of it.. it's hilarious how sensitive ppl are 😂😂
@@DynastyIcon she is the female colby covington
@@josephbellotti1007 Colby is one of the biggest names in the UFC.. he's getting a title shot after not fighting for over a year.. im sure Julianna would take that comparison
@@DynastyIconmbarrassing how you comment on almost everyone’s posts, you Peña fan boy get a life smh
I mean respect to Pena for winning the first fight and I get she's trying to talk her way into a title fight but this kinda stuff just seems so bitter it borders on cringe
She never won,.. Amanda gave it to her
@@culturemix637Amanda quit. GOATS don’t do things like that.
@@Steven-eg8be GSP also tapped to Matt Sierra
@@jericho-tubenah Matt clipped him perfectly and was a TKO. Pena didn't even lock in the the rear naked choke and Amanda was already tapping.
@Civil War was an inside job Sounds like Diaz and McGregor. Tappa, tappa, tap
Delusion is one hell of a drug!!
How she kept air quoting greatest of all time like any women besides Valentina has even achieved close to what amanda has
You know you’re not a special person when you do an interview and spend the whole time talking about someone else and even have pictures of that person lol.
Insufferable. not a heel just annoying. "shes dead to me", while spending a half hour talkign about the person lol
well i mean Ariel literally asked like 50 questions about Amanda 😂😂 she's a heel.. cuz you and others get all in your feelings whenever she says anything, you get upset, you start whining... a fantastic heel 💯
@@Sharingan392technology is fantastic isn't it.. loved it‼️😂😂
How messed up and delusional can someone be.. 🤯
I love Julianna…. But losing 50-43 showed how levels above Nunes is over everyone.
I believe Holm is the only one who can come close to Amanda's level. But she lack the power.
Love? How can you love a psycho like pena?
She Is Delusional , Crazy & Insane....What A Masterpiece
Now Pena can stop trying to ride off Amandas name. Got absolutely audited and talks like she's on the same level
The female Colby Covington in full effect
Colby is more fun to watch. She is just cringe
Exactly what Nunes did to her the last time they fought? Complete domination!!!
And Pena tapped her out. Complete submission. "Please don't kill me!"
@@clinch4402Pena stop making burner accounts 😂
No one with forget Nunez ever 🦁
Absolute nobody
The only problem with her rib is that it is in a coward…. Chael always knew what to say
The fact that she just has that pic of Amanda with the black eye on deck is hilarious 😂
Julianna was knocked down 5 times by Amanda. Julianna got a wound on FOREHEAD that's why Surgical stitches was made ( missing Chuck) Julianna getting brutalized badly she is bloody mess
She is a good promo, respect to Pena
@@tinaruzol7256 I feel you she got embarrassed that last one and I think Amanda would win the trilogy but let’s be real she deserves the trilogy because she actually finished Amanda regardless if you want to call it a fluke if your calling yourself the Goat you can’t go out 1-1 with someone that finished you and not you them
Julianna pull out 3rd Trilogy fight with Amanda. Amanda vs Julianna 289. Julianna pull out 3rd Trilogy fight with Amanda.
She wasn’t storming nothing she would have just gotten pushed down like Amanda bullied her in the second fight . At least now maybe Lena can be a champion.
did she get bullied the first fight? nah.. y'all can keep ignoring it cuz y'all hate her.. but she beat Amanda Nunes and made her quit
You gotta respect the delusion from Juliana. Have to respect it Edit: zero chance that a quick sub and a quick tap is more dominant than a 50-43 LMFAO
She was secretly in love with Amanda. It's beginning to show.
I think so, too
Storm the cage? She was scheduled to be in the cage...
Cringe
Lmao holding up pic from a head-but and thinking your swimming punches did damage.. imagine that 😂😂
You mean windmilling. She fights like she's in a school courtyard fight.
@@aria5011 rowing a dam boat more like 💀
@@primetime7999 🤣
😂😂😂
I bet these comments will be nice and respectful
You are so sad if you think she retired because of you. She said you weren't staying with her belt and you didn't.
she was lucky to beat Nunez. Nunez would knock her ou cold next time. This girl needs to calm herself
Nunes: 50-43 50-44 and 50-45's Pena Pena: She retired because she's scared to fight me 💀💀
Shes a great heel. I dont think I can name 10 female fighters, let alone from her division. So props to her, as a fan of wrestling I can appreciate her mic work.
Agreed. She can trash talk with the best of them, and definitely the best at it in the Women’s division. Pretty sure most of the negative comments come from insecure men who can’t stand a strong woman who can speak up for herself 😂 even if they don’t know that’s why she makes them uncomfortable
I can. I mean...CasualEd says a lot
to be a great heel people gotta care what your next fight is.
NO one said she’s the #1 heel 😂
Amanda beat the brakes off her in that 2nd fight, wasn’t even close, Julie saved herself another beating, and she knows it deep down
Peña talks like she’s an historical great fighter
Ariel didn’t ask who was the greatest warrior he asked who’s the greatest fighter😂
I can't even listen to her talk, she was injured? But she was sitting in the audience at the fighting event? She blew it.
Being injured means you can’t watch fights apparently 😂😂
Juliana Peña acts like she lost their rematch by split decision… you got dominated girl, you’re nothing without Amanda
Lmao at Ariel after she said George left cause she’s not fighting
A good heel is what the woman’s division has been missing ever since Ronda left. Y’all need someone to hate and Pena is here to deliver.
No Skills Tho
Don’t even hate her, feel bad for her. I think when Amanda made her brain stick out of her skull she lost some brain juices. Hope she recovers from her mental problems.
@@joshreid1006 exactly what a hater would say hahah
@@thedeercamp exactly what a simp would say 😂
@@JCVV22 how ironic 🤣
Everything Pèna just said made me dilike her even more, all she did was cry about missing her fight with her... i think she said "shes dead to me" and then rambled how their fight was the real fight to prove she would be the best fighter... i head was spinning🤯
1st fight: Amanda had issues outside the cage. Pena got lucky. 2nd fight: Amanda dominated 5 rounds. 3rd fight: Pena pulles out.
Peña faked an injury so she could pull out and blame Nunes for retiring 🤣
Did she not see the 2nd fight with Amanda, it wasnt even close!
Bro wtf 😂😂😂😂😂 Julianna is acting like she won the last fight and Amanda is scared to encounter someone that beat the dog-sh out of her
Sheesh Amanda sent her brain into the shadow realm from the last fight she’s completely salty and delusional lol respect the greatest of the time cause she’d ko you again . Peña got lucky her shins got nerve damage which made her retire plus Dana said he’s going to end the division due to not enough fighters in the class lol
my karate sensei used to have broken ribs all the time and still train 😂 back in his day guys constantly got injured in training
Embarrassing even to watch. She needs to remember where she came from and those who helped her get where she is.
She just single handedly made the entire MMA community hate her guts. Well done, Julianna.. you’ll never be champion again.
Biggest upset of all time, that first fight
literally the only women in bantamweight trying to make a name for herself i’m all for it
by far the most DELUSIONAL fighter in ufc history LOL. its like legit scary at this point. mind blowing how she truly thinks this way
Can’t wait for her next loss
Amanda needs to do 3 fights in 2024 before she retires - Rematch with Juliana Pena and Valentina Schevchenko at 135 pounds and against Cris Cyborg at 145 pounds.
Ummm or she can enjoy her retirement. She has done enough.
She is so mad that she’s never going to get that trilogy
Wish Ariel would slam her with a little bit of reality
for what? she's 1-1 with Amanda.. she's entitled to talk her shii... if you were 1-1 with the GOAT, wouldn't you talk your shii??
@DynastyIcon first one was a fluke, rematch made her look like an amateur
@@belair2845 it's only a "fluke" because you don't like her 😂😂 if it was your favorite fighter instead of it being Julianna, you wouldn't say it was a fluke.. ain't no fluke in MMA bro, you either get your hand raised or you don't
@@belair2845 exactly.
Even when khabib retired, Conor gave him his moment of recognition. To do that to a legend like Amanda is just classless. She literally beat all the best girl fighters. Then came back after the loss to Juliana and completely destroyed her. The 3rd fight was scheduled and Juliana had to pull out. Amanda fights and retires… how is she running from you? She smashed you. It’s more like she retired because she already exposed you worse than you did her.
But wait….. Didn’t Peña get WHOOPED that last fight?….
She sure did for 25 minutes and she thinks she's the best female fighter in the UFC
I like how Helwani challenges people like Dana White, but would be good if he pushes back on these interviews as well. Amanda was scheduled to fight Pena, Pena was the one who canceled the bout, not the other way around.
EXACTLY, I don't understand Helwani, it's like he's trying to kiss up to Pena
I know she didn’t just say greatest trilogy ever 😂
Juliana 12-5. Amanda 23-5. literally doubled her wins. Ariel asks Juliana who is the greatest women's fighter. Juliana is delusional I'm claiming mental illness
Love Juliana Peña! Would love to meet her and see her regain her championship belt.
So, Amanda wasn't afraid to take the rematch after losing fight one dominantly, but she's now afraid after destroying Pena in the 2nd fight? That doesn't add up.
Rooting for Pennington now
Female equivalent to Tito Ortiz = Juliana Pena
Can we please see a pic of Peña’s face immediately after the 2nd fight….oh that’s right, she walked out the octagon hiding the hematoma on her forehead and hid for a few days…I’m sure her ovaries were pretty busted up too.
You seem more salty than Peña
Nunez is the goat forever but i love penas personality
Showing amanda nunez wrecked face is so freaking 🤣 amazing ohhh juliana hahahahahaha
Bro Juliana is such a salty chick Nunez came back and starched you let her go and live her life 💯
She won't even be a dominant champion with Amanda gone, but good job waffling on and turning the entire MMA community against you
She wont even be a champion!!!
Love Julie! She doesn’t let anything stand in her way 👍🏻
She lets her ego stand in her way!!! Biggest delusional clown in the UFC!!
Man, this woman is lossing fans talking crazy. Would love it if she went on and won the belt, defended it a couple times and Amanda then comes back just to beat her ass and take her belt and turn around and retire again Lol.
