Julianna Pena (8-2-0) is not happy with her position in the UFC and Women’s Pro MMA World Rankings. Pena is currently ranked Number 5 in both sets of rankings. She is behind Amanda Nunes, Valentina Schevchenko, Holly Holm and Ronda Rousey.

Pena has hit out at her position telling us “those rankings are f*cking joke”. When asked to eleborate she explained “All those girls ranked above me have lost. I have not”.

Back in 2013, Pena competed on The Ultimate Fighter 18: Rousey VS Tate, winning the show with wins over the likes of Shayna Baszler, Sarah Moras and Jessica Rakoczy. After TUF she won 3 further fights by defeating Milana Dudieva, Jessica Eye and Cat Zingano. Zingano is the only current Top Ten fighter who Pena has beaten.

For the past few months Pena has made it a habit of letting the world know how she really feels about her competitors. She has blasted the decision to give Ronda Rousey a title shot, and has said that no one cares about Rousey and her ‘fat arms’. She also labelled Holly Holm as ‘Harmless Holly Holm’ and claimed that current UFC Bantamweight Champion Amanda Nunes is ducking her.

The UFC offered Pena a fight with Number 2 ranked Valentina Schevchenko (Number 3 UFC) at the historic UFC 205 event in New York. Pena and her team declined the fight.
