Pena outlasts Eye, calls out Rousey

It wasn't pretty, but Julianna Pena passed the sternest test of her burgeoning mixed martial arts career.

With the single minded determination of some sort of Terminator, Pena stalked Jessica Eye in the opening round of their bout at UFC 192, landing multiple takedowns, and likely narrowly won the round on the judge's scorecards.

Eye did exceptional grappling work in the second stanza, and took Pena down early. From there she dominated with heavy top control and even threatened with an arm triangle choke. Unfortunately, all of this work was completely unmade in the closing seconds, when she was deducted a point for kneeing Pena in while they were both on the floor.

Reinvigorated, Pena completely took over in the final stanza, landing multiple takedowns and dominating with heavy top control, and an array of tight submission attempts.

Following the bout, Pena took the time to call out the world-destroyer known as Ronda Rousey.
