The problem is people don't hate her, they just don't want to hear from her at all. It's one thing to be a heel and people want to tune in to see you lose. It's another thing to talk yourself out of viewers, and that's what Pena is doing.
100%, most of the time any media is good media... Unless you're actively giving them more reasons to not want to watch you do anything or engage with you at all.
Pena should still be riding the coat tails of beating Nunes. Doing something no other woman came close to in the last X amount of years. Not only beating but knocking down and finishing the fight against a 2 division champ and one of, if not the best woman UFC fighter ever.... Instead she's trying to start pretend beefs that people would get more value out of not reading.

I’m just waiting on GDR to come back
I will say, if they generate interest, they've then got to deliver. Either individually or put on a great fight. If they get more eyeballs and then it's nothing but a bunch of air jabs and grinding on the fence, it might actually do more harm than good in the WBW division.
I agree completely with everything except I'm not as down on Pena as a fighter. I mean, I don't think she's very good, but I don't know how good Silva or anybody else in the division really is either. Pena is only 5-3 in the UFC, but her losses are to Nunes, GDR, and Valentina. Probably 3 of the 5 best 125-135lbers ever? The problem is that outside of the Nunes win which certainly seems flukey now, her only UFC caliber wins are Zingano and McMann. I don't really have a good read on how good she is.For sure.
And lets be honest, we probably aren't going to get any stars or PPV headliners out of this whole thing. But Pena's purpose in all this (to me, not to herself) is to be a villain that the other 135ers react to and then those other 135ers beat her. I think it's already working out pretty good with how MBS has talked about Pena. It's even better that Pena isn't very good (but is ranked high) so she'll be an easy springboard then probably fade away.
Between Pena talking dumb & MBS's finish this weekend plus her reaction to what Pena said.. I'm already more excited about that potential fight. It's taken it from a 1/10 to a 3/10.. but at least it's a start.

So I don't know that Silva would win that fight. I'd hope she does, but outside of the Holly win, her resume isn't exactly sparkling either.
By the way, when I saw MBS, I thought "Aw shit, first Kadyrov, not the Saudi Prince?"
