“Did my trash-talking in the ring”- Julianna Pena boasts about her performance against Amanda Nunes at UFC 269
Nunes took notice of Pena’s trash talk, and she expected a lot of animosity from her during TUF 30. Much to her surprise, Pena behaved completely and Nunes was surprised. Talking on MMA Fighting’s Trocação Franca podcast, she said, “Since Julianna was talking a lot, being the trash talker she is, I thought she would really bring that to TUF, but it didn’t go as I expected.”
Now Pena has come forward and talked about this in her interview with MMA Mania, she said, “I already beat you. You hadn’t been submitted, you hadn’t been stopped, you had this title reign of the GOAT and you got embarrassed, and you got so frustrated that you fired your entire team. You quit your gym that you’d been at for 10 years.”
She added, “You had to go see a sport psychologist. Like, why kick a dog when it’s down? That’s just not my style, that’s not my character, and I already know how much it hurt her. I’m not trying to pour salt on the wounds. She wants me to burn the church down too, it’s like it’s good, you know what I mean? I already did my trash talking in the ring. There’s nothing really more for me to say.”
