10 UFC Fights To Watch In July
7. Julianna Pena Vs. Nicco Montano - UFC Fight Night 155
It's the battle of The Ultimate Fighter winners, as Julianna Pena takes on Nicco Montano in what should be a very interesting scrap. Prior to getting destroyed by current flyweight champion, Valentina Shevchenko, Pena looked incredible in her UFC run.
The Venezuelan Vixen had a great mixture of slick submission grappling skills, intertwined with an ever-improving striking game. Not only did she have the skills, she's also an incredibly game competitor, which could present problems for a fighter like Montano.
While it was reported that she failed to defend her flyweight title against Shevchenko because of weight-cutting issues, she never asked to rearrange the fight with Shevchenko, instead moving up a weight class. Despite her showing plenty of promise on The Ultimate Fighter and in her flyweight title win, only time will tell if she's got the mental fortitude to succeed in the UFC.
