Outlook: Julianna Peña: bantamweight champion. For all the doubts you could levy toward Peña in the buildup to her title shot, a lack of self-belief was not one of them. She believed she could pressure Nunes, wear down the double-champ and get the fight into her world on the ground. Turns out she was incredibly and specifically correct. She knows a rematch with Nunes is likely, and whether that happens immediately is unknown. Alternate matchups could include a rematch with current flyweight queen Valentina Shevchenko, who submitted Peña nearly five years ago. Regardless, it’s Peña’s world right now.
