“I think I've always had the mental edge when it comes to Amanda. I've been calling this fight for the last five years and she didn't want to fight me. She always made all the excuses, as if I wasn't worthy of her. Obviously, how I feel and how I approach things bothers her and she has made that very clear,” Julianna said.
The current bantamweight champion stated that she is ready to defeat the Brazilian again, even if she comes 'in a better version' and even mentioned a possible date for the long-awaited rematch.
“She’s coming in at 110%, and I’m going to get the best version of Amanda nunes. That's great, because I was ready for that better version of Amanda nunes In August. I was ready for that better version of Amanda nunes in December. I hope this fight happens on the card Jon Jones, In September. Then I'll be ready for the best version of Amanda nunes”, concluded the division leader.
No UFC 269, which took place in December 2021, Julianna shocked the world by finishing Amanda nunes in the second round and win the bantamweight belt, which had been in the Brazilian's possession since 2016. The 'Venezuelan Shrew' has a record of 11 triumphs and four setbacks in professional MMA.
