Amanda Nunes vows to put Julianna Pena down if she charges at her.

Peña dethroned Nunes at UFC 269 by second-round submission in December 2021, but Nunes was able to score four knockdowns over Peña to win their rematch by lopsided decision at UFC 277 in July. Peña admitted that Nunes’ southpaw stance threw her off, and “The Lioness” warns her of the same fate if she attacks her recklessly. “If you rush on me Julianna, I’m gonna put your ass down,” Nunes told TSN . “I’m telling you: Rush on me and I’m gonna put your ass down
