Amanda nunes e Julianna Pena would face each other in August, but the Brazilian tested positive for Covid-19 and the fight had to be postponed until UFC 269, which takes place on December 11th, in Las Vegas. With just over two months left for the duel, Kayla harrison believes that the champion is ready to defend the title.
“I am (helping), but I can argue that she is helping me just as much. It's a huge blessing for me to be able to work with her, try to be like a sponge and absorb everything. Yes, she will be ready to murder Julianna Pena,” Harrison revealed.
Dominant in Ultimate, Amanda nunes his future is uncertain if he defends the bantamweight title again. One of the possibilities for the champion is to complete the trilogy against Valentina Shevchenko, flyweight champion (up to 56,7 kg), who has already been defeated by Amanda on two occasions. According to Kayla harrison, Amanda doesn't need to prove anything to anyone and should only face Valentina again if she wants to.
“Amanda has nothing to prove to anyone. If she wants to stand up to her, she certainly can, if they offer the right amount of money and she says yes. But she has nothing to prove, and I hope she doesn't listen to others. She is the greatest, she can do whatever she wants”, concluded the PFL fighter.
Before Amanda defended the belt against Julianna in the UFC 269, Kayla harrison defends PFL lightweight (up to 70,3 kg) title against Taylor Guardado, on the 27th of October.
