MMA fighter Julianna Peña dismissed Mayra Bueno Silva‘s recent trash talk concerning her fighting capabilities, saying that she has already proven herself to be the “baddest mother of all-time”, and claimed that Silva’s victory over Holly Holm was not impressive.
Renowned fighter Julianna Peña, known for her spirited nature, kept an eye on a recent episode of The MMA Hour, ready to retort to Mayra Bueno Silva’s comments. Unfortunately, a communication flaw prevented her immediate response. Therefore, she stepped up during Wednesday’s episode to address Silva’s provocative remarks.
According to Silva, Peña was afraid to face her and undervalued a possible clash between Peña and Raquel Pennington. Peña’s counterargument was swift. She scoffed at the accusations and pointed to her significant record in the industry, having launched her career when the division took off in 2013. She brought up her notable wins, especially her victory as the first-ever woman and mother in The Ultimate Fighter, bemused at Silva’s claim of her lacking good fights. Peña went on to highlight her exemplary fight record, even after overcoming a severe knee injury.
In recent events, Silva made her claim for the bantamweight title with a surprise win over Holly Holm. However, Peña remained unimpressed, remembering Silva as a minor character from previous years and dismissed her recent success. In the wake of Silva’s audacious remarks about her, Peña didn’t hesitate in challenging Silva and Pennington to a fight.
Moreover, Peña dismissed Silva’s statements about Amanda Nunes, the ex two-division champion. She recounted her pursuit of Amanda, criticizing Silva’s defeatist attitude. She boldly asserted her readiness to fight both Silva and Pennington on the same night, ridiculing any accusations of her being fearful. Peña also prioritized her fight with Pennington over Silva, mentioning a sustained hostility between them since their time together on The Ultimate Fighter. Despite Silva’s prospects, Peña argued that Pennington’s five-fight winning streak makes a more thrilling fight.
