Reigning UFC women’s bantamweight champion Amanda Nunes is still fresh off of her devastating first round stoppage over Miesha Tate last July, but it appears as if she’s looking to get back into the Octagon sometime soon to defend her title. Nunes has multiple options regarding potential opponents including No. 3-ranked Valentina Shevchenko and No. 5-ranked Julianna Pena.
Recently speaking on the matter, however, Nunes made it very clear who she’d like to fight next: “I don’t know anything yet, I’m waiting for the call. It’s highly likely (a bout with Ronda Rousey), right?” Nunes told Combate. “Those girls are crazy. Juliana Pena says I’m running from her, Valentina Shevchenko also said I’m running from her, and now she’s saying Juliana Pena is running from her, too. I don’t like to play games.
