Julianna Peña has just offered her reaction to the UFC 297 co-headliner featuring Raquel Pennington and Mayra Bueno Silva in a women's bantamweight title fight. Additionally, she also took aim at Maycee Barber by sharing a heavily edited picture depicting her as a mother while all three women are shown as children.
The Instagram meme specifically mocks the women's bantamweight division as being comprised of Peña's children. Unfortunately, 'The Venezuelan Vixen' did not draw the reactions she had initially hoped for. Fans flocked to the comment section of her Instagram post to scoff at her for her conduct.
One fan warned 'The Venezuelan Vixen' against negatively impacting UFC 300 by agreeing to fight on the event card.

Meanwhile, another fan claimed that she was so forgetful she had forgotten she even signed with the UFC.
"Forgot she was in the ufc"
Others, however, criticized Peña's drawing power, with one fan mocking her promised return to the octagon.
"For a total of 5 PPV's sold"
Some comments even hit out against the fact that she didn't include the streaking Erin Blanchfield, who does not fight at 135 pounds, on her list of faux children.
"You are very very smart not including Erin."
