Julianna Pena Labels Carlos Ulberg 'The Hottest Guy in the UFC'

Julianna Pena thinks good looking people are treated better in general.

The UFC women’s bantamweight champ understands that the promotion is focused on running a business. And while she doesn’t necessarily expect the UFC to promote fighters based on good looks, she doesn’t expect them to downplay the charm, either.

Pena also believes good looks go a long way in terms of how one is perceived. And at the top of her list of good looking UFC fighters is Kiwi light heavyweight contender Carlos Ulberg. “The Venezuelan Vixen” also mentioned French middleweight contender Nassourdine Imavov and former Bellator star Michael “Venom” Page, although “MVP” mostly for his flashy style.

“At the end of the day, the UFC is running a business and everything goes down to business,” Pena said on the Overdogs podcast. “And since it sells, they're definitely going to, I don't want to say play up that s——iness, but they're not going to shy away from that s—-iness as far as promoting goes. So, whether it's male or female, I think that in society, you get treated better if you're better looking. Carlos Ulberg is the hottest guy in the UFC. And then you got people like, you know, Imavov. He's so cute too. Or you got the Michael ‘Venom’ Page... You know, obviously, it's because of his fighting skills. Let's not forget about that.”

Pena is rumored to defend herbantamweight title against former PFL champ Kayla Harrison at UFC 316 on June 7 at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. That bout has not been confirmed by the promotion.
