However, Ronda's return to the UFC remains a mystery – the former champion has not yet announced the date of her next fight. Thus, Amanda also considers the possibility of facing two other fighters who are still on the rise. “We have other girls in line now, like Julianna Pena and Valentina Shevhchenko. If Ronda doesn't come back, I'll get it Julianna Pena. No problem”, clarified the champion.
