Maycee Barber chimed in on Julianna Pena’s reaction to Amanda Nunes announcing her retirement following her victory over Irene Aldana at UFC 289.
While in the media prior to her bout with Amanda Ribas at UFC Jacksonville, Barber was asked about her reaction to Nunes’ retirement. She stated that “Liones” did too much in the sport and didn’t like how Pena tried to spoil the moment to push for her triple fight.
She said:
“The only thing I didn’t like was how much crap Juliana (Pina) was talking about. Like, that was the only thing that was like, This is just embarrassing. But, that was probably the only thing I thought about retirement that I didn’t like and wish Amanda All the success in the world.”
The Future then added that she didn’t think it was wiser of Bina to continue pressing the issue than to let Nunes retire and congratulate her. She stated that ‘The Venezuelan Vixen’ must be happy to have parted ways with the former UFC B-League champ, saying:
“I think that was very stupid. Yeah, I just think you never know what happens in someone’s life, and if she wanted to call it that, she called it done. And like, who’s to say you can ‘I retire… I guess if you don’t retire Amanda and Juliana fought, I think Juliana got off easy on this one. “
It will be interesting to see if Pena responds to Barber’s comments or just ignores them as she competes in different weight divisions.
Will Maycee Barber Extend Her Winning Streak In UFC Jacksonville?
Maycee Barber has been riding high in the UFC women’s flyweight division and could move into the top 10 should she extend her winning streak.
The No. 11-ranked female flyweight, Amanda Ribas, is scheduled to fight No. 9-ranked Amanda Ribas on Saturday at UFC Jacksonville. She is currently riding an impressive four fight win streak that includes wins over Miranda Maverick, Montana de la Rosa, Jessica Eye and Andrea Lee.
The “Future” could position herself nicely in the division and possibly move closer to earning a future rematch with reigning women’s flyweight champion Alexa Grasso.
