Julianna Pena has past experience with former UFC champion Ronda Rousey. The two were both on The Ultimate Fighter show with Pena as a contestant and Rousey as a coach.
Julianna Pena recently talked about her experience on the show. The current UFC champion revealed that Ronda Rousey was not nice to her.
“We’re not friends,” Peña told The Post. “We don’t speak.
“She really had a tough time getting along with me on The Ultimate Fighter. She didn’t like me at all because I was friends with Miesha Tate. She wasn’t the nicest.”
The current UFC bantamweight champion couldn't help but talk about a potential fight with Ronda Rousey. Her return would be a fun surprise for Julianna Pena.
“It would be amazing to pull Ronda Rousey back out of retirement,” Peña said. “It would be great to have her come back to UFC and fight again.”
Julianna Pena also revealed what Ronda Rousey told her after The Ultimate Fighter. Somehow she gave her both a compliment and an insult at the same time.
“I don’t know that she’ll recall this because she ended up getting taken out by her entire team,” Peña said. “But when we won ‘The Ultimate Fighter’ and got out of the house, she told me that, ‘You’re gonna give me a tougher fight than Miesha Tate Tate, but when that day comes I’m still gonna kick your ass.'”
A return to the UFC from Ronda Rousey seems very unlikely considering she's moved on with her life. Julianna Pena most likely has a fight with Amanda Nunes to worry about first.
