UFC Women’s bantamweight champion, Julianna Peña joins The Pivot and is ready to set the record straight with Ryan about who the champ really is after Peña pulled off the win against Amanda Nunes.
“I’m here to say ‘I told you so,” to Ryan for picking against me and saying I didn’t have a chance,” Julianna first says as she sits down. Channing and Fred ofcourse egg on the banter and tell Ryan they might not be able to help him if she tries to fight him.
Ryan admits he was wrong but that his UFC prediction was influenced by being a longtime fan of Amanda and he is sorry for shit talking her as an opponent.
Learning more about Julianna’s journey to the top of the sport, Fred gets into her background as well as some of the legal troubles that she faced while coming up the ranks. “I only fight to get paid, no more street fights,” she jokes with the guys.
Channing is amped up as he hears the fight in her and how much passion she has for being the best in the cage and her approach to being a professional athlete.
The conversation moves into motherhood and relationships and the challenges facing female athletes to balance both the personal and work side of the sport.
Preparing for the rematch in early summer, Julianna says how she still will approach the fight and training as if she is the challenger with a target on her back to be dethroned as the champion.

Annoyed? Naw, she was pissed. She stated basically she only came on the Pivot to face to face confront RC.

She was reserved and then by then end very open. Definitely like the dynamic with her on this, they let her talk and let her tell her story, and asked questions. The dynamic of the 3 of them is so good tho.

I wasn't sure what to expect from this interview... I will say this, you all have created a podcast that is deeper than a round table talk. This is better than any podcast or news station out. Listening is so on point and the respect and honesty is key. You all have welcomed so many people on the show that have stories to tell and I'm glad you all are asking these tough questions and engaging with her in a professional and respectful manner. I never heard about Julianna before, but the way she has the courage to speak and tell things how it is. Real Great job everyone from cameraman to producer to editors to interviewers. I'm proud

RC one smooth cat. He got it out the way early and she respected how he dealt with it. Fred takes his research seriously and that pivot question really reset the conversation.
