Julianna Pena etched her name in the history books at UFC 269.
When Amanda Nunes was seemingly untouchable, entering the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas a winner of her previous 12 bouts with two division titles over her shoulders, Pena shocked the world as a massive underdog.
In the second round of the pay-per-view co-main event, Pena rocked Nunes on the feet with crisp punches before slapping on a rear-naked choke on the mat to secure victory, creating a moment for the ages.
