UFC women's strawweight contender Mackenzie Dern has given her take on bantamweight champion Julianna Peña's past comments on motherhood.
At UFC 269, Amanda Nunes put her 135-pound gold on the line against "The Venezuelan Vixen." In and around fight week was the presence of two little ones. While the Brazilian became a mom after her wife Nina Nunes gave birth to daughter Raegan in 2020, Peña brought her daughter into the world two years prior in 2018.
After shocking the world with her performance at the final pay-per-view of 2021, the newly-crowned bantamweight queen shocked a few more with some of her post-fight remarks. She claimed that, owing to the fact she gave birth to her child, she deserves the title of "first mom champ," rather than the defeated Nunes.
In a recent exclusive interview with MMA News, Dern, who became a mother herself in 2019, provided her thoughts on her UFC peer's controversial comments.
