Julianna Pena didn’t take kindly to the UFC 307 commentary team for doubting her split decision victory over Raquel Pennington.
Returning to the Octagon for her first fight in more than two years, ‘The Venezuelan Vixen’ dethroned Pennington in the evening’s co-main event, though the decision has faced significant scrutiny with virtually everyone believing that ‘Rocky’ should still be the women’s bantamweight champion.
That includes the commentary trio of Jon Anik, Joe Rogan, and Daniel Cormier, all of whom disagreed with the two scorecards during the live broadcast.
Though Pena hasn’t actually listened to the commentary, she’s heard about their alleged bias through a number of fans and expressed frustration over it during a recent interview with Ariel Helwani—specifically with Cormier who supposedly backed her to win the fight behind closed doors.
“You know what? DC told me before the fight, ‘You’re gonna win and I think that you need to go bumrush her and just take her out in the first round,’ and I truly believe that because I didn’t push the pace and go psycho Julianna in the first round, that they were just upset that I didn’t go down what they wanted me to do,” Pena said. “They were upset that I didn’t train at elevation like they wanted to be right about.
“And you know what’s sadder about all those guys’ commentating against me is man, I thought that we were cool. Obviously, they’ve got a job to do, but it’s heartbreaking because I want everyone to be on my side when they look at you and they talk to you and they’re friendly. They say all these great things about you, but then publicly on a freakin’ broadcast, they’re just trashing you.”
