Amanda Nunes dominated Julianna Peña in every facet during the main card of UFC277. But after the match, she wouldn’t comment on her next possible opponent or return date. “I need a little rest,” grosenstein has more on the champ's return ⤵️
She wouldn’t comment on her next possible opponent or return date in the post-fight interview.
“I need a little rest,” she said. “Let the Lioness rest a little bit and I’ll come back as soon as possible.” Nunes, considered by many to be the best women’s fighter of all time, lost the belt last December via rear-naked choke in arguably the greatest upset in MMA history. The Brazilian has now won 12 of her last 13 bouts and also possesses the featherweight belt.In the co-main event, Brandon Moreno claimed the UFC’s interim flyweight belt after a third-round TKO win over Kai Kara-France.
After the win, Moreno called out champion Deiveson Figueiredo — missing time with an injury — for another shot at reclaiming the belt. The Brazilian, in the arena, entered the cage and accepted the bout.
