Julianna Pena had fun with a photo of Zac Efron gazing at her moments before her historic upset of Amanda Nunes at UFC 269.
“Find you a man that looks at you the way @ZacEfron looked at me last night,” Pena tweeted Sunday, adding a photo of the actor staring at her as she entered the octagon.
Pena pulled off one of the biggest upsets in UFC history when she beat Nunes via second-round submission at a sold out T-Mobile arena in Las Vegas Saturday night to become the UFC women’s bantamweight champion.
Pena snapped Nunes’ 12-fight winning streak after Caesars Sportsbook listed the 32-year-old as a +650 underdog in the bout.

Nunes took to Instagram after the loss to thank her fans.
