Amanda Nunes (21-4) är bokad att försvara sin titel mot Julianna Pena (10-4) på UFC 265. Det har redan nu hettat till lite mellan damerna när de ger varandra verbala passningar innan mötet.
Amanda Nunes ger utmanaren Julianna Pena svar på tal
Pena var den som sköt det första skottet i den verbala konflikten när hon tidigare sa följande till Adam Morrison angående hennes titelchans.
A lot of people say, ‘Well, she got the title fight from talking sh*t,
I’m like, ‘No, I didn’t get the title shot from talking sh*t. I’m speaking my truth. I’m telling you what happened. I was 7-0 when [Nunes] didn’t want to fight me. You beat Miesha Tate that night (at UFC 200), and I beat Cat Zingano, who freakin’ literally made you curl up in the fetal position and the ref had to pull you off. You quit. I didn’t quit. I beat her. And she stomped a mudhole in you.
Den regerande fjädervikt och bantamviks-mästarinna verkar dock ta detta med ro. Nunes svarade följande på Juliana Penas tidigare kommentarer via MMA Junkie.
I love that,
Those kind of girls bring the best of me in the cage. I love what she did. She got it. I’m happy for her, and we’re going to see each other soon. I know she don’t have nothing to lose, so I’m still ready. Nobody is going to take this from me. I’m going to become a lion inside the cage, and no one is going to take that belt from me.
All my opponents, it’s the same thing,
Since I get this belt, they say the same thing. None of them has been able to stop me. She’s going to be the next. She’s not going to stop me with her wrestling. I promise you. We’re going to do interview again like, ‘I told you. She’s not stopping me.’ I will defend, and I will take her down, and I will finish her on the floor. She’s good with her wrestling, but also she has a lot of holes. The girls that I finish submit her. Valentina [Shevchenko] and Germaine [de Randamie]—two strikers—submitted her. So she has a lot of holes. I will do the same.
Den mest dominanta kvinnliga fightern inom MMA
Amanda Nunes anses av många vara den mest dominanta kvinnliga fightern i UFC och inom MMA. Hon är mästarinna i två viktklasser och har vunnit sina senaste tio matcher. Senaste vinsten var en submission-vinst över Megan Anderson (11-5) på UFC 256.
Den 7:e augusti på UFC 265 går hon upp i buren och försvarar sitt bälte mot Julianna Pena
