Julianna Pena's win at UFC 307 has garnered attention from the entire MMA community. Many bashed Pena's performance, while others took a dig at the judges for awarding her the win.

Pena challenged Raquel Pennington for the women’s bantamweight title in the co-main event of UFC 307 on Saturday (Oct. 5) at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City, Utah. The animosity between the two women has existed since their 'TUF' days together. Although Pennington captured the vacant bantamweight title at UFC 297, 'The Venezuelan Vixen's octagon career has been hampered by injuries and inactivity.

Both fighters had their opportunities in the title showdown. Pena had an unsuccessful attempt of a rear-naked choke in the third round, while Pennington dropped the 35-year-old in the fourth round with a huge right hand.

After five rounds of action, Pena was declared the winner via split decision. Following her win, she went on to call the former two-division champion Amanda Nunes for a potential fight.

Following Pennington's loss, Gilbert Burns took to X and wrote:

''Wow robbery''

MMA jounalist Adam Martin mocked Pena, writing:

''Lol nice one calling out a retired fighter''

Eryk Anders bashed the judges, writing:

These judges fu**ing suck #UFC307''
