Pena: I’d fight Tate under one condition
Pena recently spoke to Fox Sports about a future fight with Tate and said the only condition she would ever fight Tate would be in a title fight.
Juliana Pena is one of the UFC’s top bantamweights and has a solid bond with champion Miesha Tate who coached her on the Ultimate Fighter.
Now that Tate is the champion, and Pena is on a win streak and could be next in line for a title fight with another, a fight between the two could be inevitable.
Pena recently spoke to Fox Sports about a future fight with Tate and said the only condition she would ever fight Tate would be in a title fight:
Pena says she has already talked to Tate about the possibility that they might fight one day soon and as long as there’s gold on the line, they’d set friendship aside and go to war in the Octagon.
“Me and Miesha have discussed fighting each other. We said the only way we would fight each other is if her or I had the belt,” Pena said. “Now that she has the belt and I get my hand raised be it July 9, I will ask for a title shot. I only think that that’s right.
“I’m sure she will accept, be it that she wins, which I’m sure she will.”
