Former two-time UFC champion and commentator Daniel Cormier has criticized Julianna Peña for failing to call out Kayla Harrison for a fight following her victory over Raquel Pennington at UFC 307.
Cormier stated, as reported by MMA Fighting:
I will say this — she dropped the ball on the callout. I mean Kayla’s on the screen. Say her name. Why no sell the person that is clearly going to be your No. 1 contender? There is no world where she does not fight Kayla Harrison. She’s fighting her next. You might as well put the sell on it.
On October 6, during UFC 307, Peña secured a victory over Raquel Pennington by split decision and became the champion of the women's bantamweight division. Her record now stands at 12 wins and five losses.
Harrison, on the other hand, defeated Ketlen Vieira by unanimous decision at UFC 307. She currently holds an impressive record of 18 wins and one loss.
