Peña stunned the mixed martial arts world when she defeated the former bantamweight champion in their December title bout.
Nunes had defeated some of the sport’s biggest names, at times in devastating fashion. Her strikes were so concussive they seemed to strike fear in opponents well before they were thrown.
In 2014, Peña, then a relative newcomer to the UFC, was recovering from a gruesome training accident in which she tore her ACL, MCL, LCL, meniscus and hamstring. Later that year, Cat Zingano defeated Nunes via third-round technical knockout. A four-fight UFC winning streak through 2016 included a win over Zingano and pushed Peña into the title contender conversation, but her January 2017 loss to Valentina Shevchenko curbed any hopes for a title shot against Nunes. Peña, who became pregnant with her daughter later that year, would not return to the octagon until July 2019, when she defeated Nicco Montano. The following year, an injury limited her to one fight: a submission loss to Germaine de Randamie.
