Raquel Pennington questions Julianna Peña’s not being in Utah early for UFC 307: ‘Altitude is not a joke’

Raquel Pennington thinks Julianna Pena waiting until UFC 307 fight week to arrive in Salt Lake City could cost her.

Pennington (16-9 MMA, 13-5 UFC) defends her bantamweight title against Peña (12-5 MMA, 7-3 UFC) in Saturday’s UFC 307 (pay-per-view, ESPNews, ESPN+) co-main event at Delta Center.

Upon hearing that, Pennington, who was born in and trains out of Colorado, thinks Peña made a mistake.
