Bantamviktsmästarinnan Amanda Nunes tog sig senast an före detta titelhållerskan Ronda Rousey, men trots att Amanda var mästare så handlade det mesta inför mötet om Rondas comeback. Detta var något som sårade Nunes, och något som fick henne att säga saker som hon senare tog tillbaka.
Detta hade Amanda att säga om hela situationen via ”FOX Sports”:
It was me and my girlfriend against the world, the whole week. Nothing about me. Everything about her [Ronda Rousey]. I was the champion, and to go through that was pretty hard and it hurt me a lot. All the promotion, all the TV. I was pissed off. But I keep everything … I was mad already. Imagine if I keep saying I’m mad, I’m mad, it’s gonna be on another level. So I keep everything smooth. But after the fight, I blowed up.
[Ronda] did a lot for this sport, she was the most dominating for a while. But now everything is changing. This sport is moving forward. And she takes days off, it’s her fault, it’s not my fault. Now we have a new champion, the UFC has to be everything about the belt, that’s why I have the belt!
Nunes har i dagsläget fem raka segrar bakom sig, och vem vi ser henne mot härnäst återstår att se.
