Recently, Julianna Pena defeated Amanda Nunes at UFC 269 to become the UFC women’s bantamweight champion. Notably, Pena is the first woman to defeat ‘The Lioness’ since 2015, breaking her 12 fight win streak. However, the rivalry is far from over, and to add fuel to the fire, Nunes has finally replied to Pena’s ‘Mom Champ’ remarks.

Certainly, Amanda Nunes did not take Pena’s comments in good taste. As she posted a photo of herself holding her daughter and penned down a response for Pena in its caption. “I may not have birthed my Daughter. If I wanted to I could have. I chose to watch from the outside. After going through the IVF procedure with Nina.”

“It was truly heartbreaking to see many women break down in the waiting room knowing they would never be able to carry their own and have to take another direction. This does not make these woman any less of a MOM than Nina or I. As a MOM champion as well, I feel this needed to be said.”
