Just brutal.
UFC president Dana White told reporters that following her lost to Amanda Nunes, Julianna Pena had a “big chuck” missing from her forehead so he sent her to a plastic surgeon.
He said at the post-fight press conference:
“Julianna’s got a big chunk missing from her forehead.
She’s going to see a plastic surgeon right now. (She’ll) take some time to heal, and then I don’t know. She got pretty banged up tonight. It was like five or six knockdowns in the first two rounds. She was hurt. She needs to take some time off, relax, spend some time with her daughter and then we’ll go from there…
There was five knockdowns in the first two rounds. There’s a big difference between submission attempts and knockdowns. They’re not even comparable. Julianna’s tough as nails and her will to win is second-to-none. She wanted to win. I think as dominant as Amanda was – and she was dominant tonight – I didn’t think it was close in any way, shape or form. It was a complete shutout.”
