UFC legend Matt Brown was critical of Juliana Pena as she prepares to defend the UFC Women’s Bantamweight Championship against Kayla Harrison tonight.
As we know, Julianna Pena is heading for this fight with Kayla Harrison as something like a loser. While some may think that’s a bit unfair, others will believe that it is exactly the position she deserves. Either way, it’s safe to say he’s not a huge fan favorite.
Alas, Juliana Pena knows how to speak, and that’s what’s led to a lot of negative feedback over the years. Despite this, she is a two-time world champion. This means that you don’t think she really cares about what everyone says.
That being said, Matt Brown certainly made an interesting comment to Juliana Pena on his recent podcast.
Matt Brown’s views on Juliana Pena
“It’s almost unpleasant for Julianna to join this fight,” Brown said in the latest episode of Fighter jet vs. writer. “I don’t know how she’s going on. I don’t like talking about trash about fighters. I don’t want to put her down.
“Kayla is a legal savage fighter, she’s good, and it’s fun to watch. Honestly, I don’t know she’s in the position she’s in. She really doesn’t do anything good.
“What’s unfortunate for her is that she beat Amanda Nunez so of course she can get a fight like Kayla Harrison, but that’s a shame for her,” Brown said. “It’s going to get her a bit of coverage, we’re talking about it. She might get a little better payday for this.
“It’s not going to be a fun night for her. She turns around and says, ‘God, I hope I’ll never beat Amanda Nunes. They’d never put me in this shit.'” She might start thinking midway through the first round, how my life is in this situation.
