Pena criticizes title fight
“I’m sorry that you guys are going to be force-fed this horrible interim title fight,” Peña said. “It’s going to be interim. They’re just keeping it warm. They’re belt warming until I come back. Mama’s coming back, so apologies for the fact that I cannot compete, but I will be back fighting. My next fight will be for a title, so whoever wins between those two chicks, I’ll be fighting the winner.”
“I’m going to give a little bit of a shine to Raquel because I feel like over time, she has gotten better and better as time goes on,” Peña said. “She’s definitely a durable fighter. She’s capable of being a champion and getting that belt, so I would say that Raquel has the veteran-ness on her side.”

While she did praise Pennington, Pena also went on to note that she believes a fight with Silva would be the more exciting of the two, indicating that the build-up would be “like crickets” with Raquel.
