With such huge strides in her career, it’s hard to imagine a time when Pena was a starving artist not only fighting in the TUF house, but wanting to go back when it was all over.
“When I got out of the house I was almost begging for them to put me back in,” Pena said. “I was having to deal with other real-world problems. I was like, ‘oh man, I didn’t have to deal with any of this for the last seven weeks.’ I don’t even want my phone. I’ll chuck it out the window right now, I don’t care about it. So I loved that seven weeks of just pure focus.”
