“Life is like this: sometimes, not everything goes your way. That’s why I’m back here, to regain my title on Saturday. watch tomorrow [sábado]: I will become double champion again!”, fired Amanda Nunes in an interview with the official broadcast of the UFC. It is worth remembering that the Brazilian is already champion of the featherweight division.
“Honestly, the way I lost, I couldn’t accept. So I came home and had to do it all over again. I made all the adjustments and changes I had to make. I want my belt back. That’s what I love to do. And I can’t retire like that. That’s my main reason. I took this fight, I want to be there 100% and do my best“, said Amanda Nunes.
On the other hand, Julianna Peña was trying to be less provocative during the promotion of the second fight between the athletes, but everything changed after the press conference, causing Peña to loosen up more when asked about the Brazilian opponent. The American did not mince words to poke this weekend’s rival.
“Fedor Emelianenko has an aura. Mike Tyson has an aura. Dana White has an aura. I don’t know about this aura you speak of Amanda Nunes, I don’t see it (…). All real fights are 135 [libras] she’s saying she’s going to fight at 145 and defend the belt, but against whom? Name two out of 145, there’s no one in that category, everyone knows the real fights are at 135 pounds“, said.
