UFC boss had stated that the American fighter would need to undergo plastic surgery to correct her forehead due to the fight against Amanda Nunes
UFC president, Dana Whiteinformed the press conference after the duel between Amanda Nunes and Julianna Pena that the American fighter will need to undergo plastic surgery for having lost “a large piece of her forehead” during the fight. In addition, the representative preferred not to anticipate what the next challenge will be for the now former bantamweight champion.
“Julianna lost a big chunk of her forehead. She’s going to see a plastic surgeon now and it will take some time to heal. She was really hurt tonight. There were five or six knockdowns in the first two rounds. She was pretty injured. off, relax, spend time with the daughter and then we’ll see what happens,” said.
“As for Amanda, she’s the double champion, I love her, it’s great to work with her, and I’ll do whatever she wants. If she wants to put the featherweight belt on the line, that’s what she’ll do. A trilogy against Valentina isn’t a bad idea either. I’m not saying it will happen. But it’s not a bad idea.” lost the boss.
As for the fight itself, Dana White was asked what he thought of the fight, and whether he would have evaluated that the dispute was much more fierce than the side judges considered in their scores. the president of UFC said that, from his point of view, the fight was a “complete run-up”.
Despite that, in his opinion, Amanda Nunes seemed to hold back a lot against a rival who was clearly already very hurt with all the blows that went into her face throughout the entire fight. For the manager, the Brazilian never left to decide the fight once and for all, preferring to stay in striking.

“I thought Amanda was completely dominant. There were five or six knockdowns in the first two rounds. There’s a big difference between submission attempts and knockdowns. They’re not even comparable. Julianna is very tough and her will to win is unmatched. She wanted to win.” started before completing.
“I think as dominant as Amanda was – and she was dominant tonight – I didn’t see a balanced fight at all. It was a complete run over. I think Amanda may have even held back a bit when fighting the rival that won in the last fight, and it’s kind of stupid of me to say that, because she dominated the entire fight,” followed.
“Maybe she was worried about the physical part, but when we remember how she fought Cyborg, going for everything from the beginning, and we saw that Julianna was injured several times in front of her and she never left to decide the fight “, opined the boss of Ultimate.
It wasn’t that serious
After the statements of the boss of Ultimate, Julianna Peña herself used her social networks to clarify that she will not need to make any plastic intervention. Through her “Instagram” account, she said that she received only a few points in what she called “scratches” that were suffered in the fight.
“Tougher than a second-rate steak. Thank you all for the love! I only suffered a few scratches that only needed a few stitches. No missing forehead piece and no surgery. Love you all. We’re 1-1 now. #campeãdopovo # trilogy #penavnunes3”, wrote the fighter, who also suggested facing Amanda Nunes a third time.
