My Take
Peña is the fighter I privately call the queen of the upset. The first woman to win The Ultimate Fighter, she went on to claim the UFC women's bantamweight title not once but twice, often in bouts the world had already written off. That is the trait I value most in combat sports: the nerve to win the fight nobody thinks you can. The Venezuelan Vixen nickname suits her swagger, and her work as a commentator hints at a sharp tactical mind behind the bravado. I love athletes who thrive on doubt, and she turns being underestimated into a weapon.
