Julianna Peña Wants to Submit Kayla Harrison

The US-born Harrison is on the cusp of making combat sport shistory with a win but teh reignign champion Julianna Peña is looking to spoil the party. She wants to best Harrison in her own domain: grappling. Harrison is a life-long judoka but regardless, the current UFC champ beleives she will win via submission. In an interview with Submission Radio, she explained:

“I see this fight going with getting my hand raised. The longer the fight goes on for her, the better for me. I see a submission victory. I see me being able to break her mentally—she’s an emotional fighter—and if I can just tap into making her frustrated, that’s going to be better for me. So, getting my hand raised at any and all costs is how I see this fight going.”
