In the UFC 307 co-main event Saturday at Delta Center in Salt Lake City, Peña (13-5 MMA, 8-3 UFC) defeated Raquel Pennington (16-10 MMA, 13-6 UFC) by split decision (48-47, 47-48, 48-47) to win the promotion’s women’s bantamweight title.

Julianna Peña became just the second two-time champion in UFC women's bantamweight history on Saturday, but did so by the narrowest of decisions. Peña (11-5) took the belt from defending champion Raquel Pennington (16-9) via split decision in the co-main event of UFC 307 inside Delta Center.

Pena outworked the titleholder over five rounds to wrestle back the championship she lost to Amanda Nunes two years ago
