Julianna Pena has threatened to jump into the ring at UFC193 as she demands a shot at the winner of Ronda Rousey's bantamweight title fight with Holly Holm.
Pena is in Melbourne to watch Rousey take on Holm at Etihad Stadium on Sunday and has her mind firmly set on a fight with whoever comes away with the belt.
She warned security at the event to be ready and hinted she would jump into the cage following the bout in an effort to get her way.
"I don't care. Whoever has the belt, that's what I want and that's my goal," Pena said.
Pena is ranked No.5 in the division following a three-match winning streak but revealed she had been fighting well below 100 per cent.
She suffered a series of knee injuries in 2014 in which he damaged her ACL, MCL and meniscus.
"My knee is OK ... it's not 100 per cent, but fighting twice on it after tearing four out of five ligaments and still winning, it feels like I am beating these girls on one leg," she said.
"The Venezuelan Vixen" rose to prominence as the winner of a season of reality series The Ultimate Fighter: Team Rousey v Team Tate.
A member of Miesha Tate's team, the 26-year-old won the finale with a TKO over Jessica Rakoczy.
If Rousey is successful in extending unbeaten UFC streak, Pena feels her past experience with her would put her in good stead.
"I'm going to be watching like a hawk," Pena said.
"If Holly Holm wins that fight it would be such an amazing thing and I think it's something a lot of people want to see. Just don't blink an eyelash."
