UFC: Julianna Peña challenges Amanda Nunes for trilogy

UFC had the second fight between the American and the Brazilian just over a week ago, with Amanda Nunes leaving with the victory and the belt

The UFC will be able to see again Julianna Pena and Amanda Nunes inside the ring? Than to depend on the American yes! While the Brazilian is enjoying her vacation after regaining the bantamweight belt just over a week ago, the opponent is already thinking about a trilogy and starting work to make it really happen.

Last Saturday, 6th, after the card at UFC Apex, in Las Vegas, Julianna Peña said she was ready to face Amanda Nunes once again, and also questioned the fact that the Brazilian did not accompany the TUF finals with her team representative. The American stated that she is very ready to face an eighth round.

“I’m ready for round eight now. Come on! I’m here! Where are you Amanda? Amanda, seriously, where are you? You kept your girl waiting. I showed up for Team Peña. She didn’t show up for Team Nunes. I’m here, I’m ready for the eighth round”said Julianna, who had two rounds in her first fight and five more at UFC 277.

“When someone completely renews themselves and completely changes their whole stance and their whole fighting style because of me? I take that as a compliment. I think if you give me time to prepare for Amanda’s two bases, she won’t play next time”promised the fighter, who said that she will evolve even more for the trilogy.

Julianna Peña’s challenge to Amanda Nunes happened during the card that had the two TUF 30 finals, where she and the Brazilian were the main coaches. The American placed two finalists in the heavyweight division, where Mohammed Usmadidn’t knock out Zac Pauga. In the women’s flyweight, Juliana Miller knocked out brogan walkerfrom the Lioness team.

What does the Brazilian think?

It is worth remembering that although Amanda Nunes was challenged again by the American, after winning the second fight, she did not give any sign of when she intends to fight again. On the occasion, she even talked about her desire to visit her family in Brazil and rest to make up for lost time. Despite this, the trilogy requested by Peña would be until the end of the year.
