5 Most Dangerous Moms In UFC History

3. Julianna "The Venezuelan Vixen" Pena

"The Venezuelan Vixen" Julianna Pena burst on the national scene when she appeared on The Ultimate Fighter Team Rousey vs. Team Tate back in 2013. The bantamweight standout would go on to become the first female Ultimate Fighter winner.

The 30-year-old's résumé includes victories over Jessica Eye, Cat Zingano, and former UFC Flyweight Champion Nicco Montano.

In October 2017, the well-rounded mixed martial artist announced she was pregnant and would be putting her career on hold. In January 2018, "The Vixen" welcomed her first child, a daughter named Issa Cruz, to the world. Unlike fellow MMA mom Mackenzie Dern, Pena would take considerable time off before returning to the Octagon.

This past January, after roughly a two and half year absence, Pena returned to action and defeated Nicco Montano. She is currently the number four ranked female bantamweight in the world. If all goes well, with another win or two, Julianna Pena could have a shot at becoming the first mom to win a UFC title in 2020.
