UFC bantamweight Julianna Pena is set to face Valentina Shevchenko at UFC on Fox 23. She says she is not scared of Schevchenko and claims that fans should be grateful to her for accepting this fight.

Pena told Bloodyelbow in a recent interview:

“I think this fight is a long time coming and this is a fight that the fans have been dying for. It’s a fight that the fans have been chirping in my ear about nonstop and people have been telling me that I’m scared to take the fight, but it has nothing to do with that and more so the fact that I felt if I wouldn’t have fought, I probably would have been fighting for title anyways right now, if I would have just sat and waited. But that’s not the way the cookie crumbles and unfortunately the fans wanted to see me fight one more time before I fight for the belt, so I’m actually doing this fight for the fans and doing a fight which they have asked for and have requested for me for a long time now, so I hope that I make them happy and then they can be a little bit grateful for the fact I am putting it all on the line for them.”
