In a recent interview, the reigning UFC women’s bantamweight champion, Julianna Pena, directed a famous Marvin Hagler quote towards her arch enemy in the sport, Amanda Nunes.

Last year, Julianna Pena shocked the world after her win over Amanda Nunes at UFC 269. Now, the two are coaches going against each other in the recent season of The Ultimate Fighter. As things were getting heated at The Ultimate Fighter, Pena appeared in a recent interview with the renowned MMA reporter, The Schmo.

On being asked about her thoughts on how Dana White‘s interaction has evolved with Amanda Nunes, Julianna quoted the ‘silk pajamas’ line. Pena said, “I mean, I think what he said was something that he said about many of the champions. Once they’re waking up in silk pajamas, it’s hard to get up and do the road work and be motivated.”
