UFC champion Julianna Peña Once Fought a Male Coworker in a Back Alley – and Learned a Harsh Lesson


 UFC champion Julianna Peña Once Fought a Male Coworker in a Back Alley – and Learned a Harsh Lesson


On the OverDogs Podcast, UFC champ Julianna Peña shared a wild story from her early fighting days. While working as a food expediter with a 3-0 UFC record, Peña got into a heated workplace rivalry with a male line cook. It escalated into a full-on street fight behind the restaurant.


“He dropped me three times,” Peña admitted. “I popped back up every time, but ended up with a swollen eye shut for three days and 11 stitches.”


The fight taught her a brutal truth: “I don’t want anything to do with fighting dudes for real. I’ve learned my lesson.”


Despite both being involved, only Peña was fired— due to her status as a professional fighter.


Now a UFC world champion, Peña says the incident was a painful reminder of the biological differences in combat—but also a testament to her resilience.

Rousey leads surge for women's MMA

  LOS ANGELES, Calif. - Ronda Rousey spent a year as a bartender after she turned 21, partying every night and wondering what to do with her Olympic bronze medal in judo. When she first saw mixed martial arts on television, her friends warned her away. This complicated new cage-fighting sport was too violent, too primitive, too unregulated. "That just made me really want to try it," Rousey said with a laugh. Six years later, Rousey is nothing less than the face of the UFC, the young sport's dominant promotional company. She has never lost a fight, reigning as the bantamweight champion ever since the UFC finally began promoting women's bouts two years ago. Rousey has become an actor, a model, a celebrity endorser and one of the world's most prominent female athletes during her meteoric rise, but she realizes she hasn't done it alone. Women's MMA is surging in prominence with Rousey at the forefront, and the sport gets its biggest showcase yet this weekend w...
