Julianna Peña on Amanda Nunes – “She Doesn’t Want To Fight Me”

UFC fighter Julianna Peña has been calling out Amanda Nunes since UFC 259 this past weekend. Amanda Nunes defended her Featherweight Championship against Megan Anderson in a massively dominant performance; it was just another example of why Nunes is the greatest women’s combat sports athlete ever.

Peña has said that she wants a shot at Nunes and her Bantamweight title. ‘She’s been turning down a fight for a long time now,’ Peña recently told The Schmo. ‘I think that her asking me to fight (Germaine de Randamie) again is comical. To me it’s clear as day she doesn’t want to fight me. She doesn’t want to fight a wrestler and a grappler. She’s been fighting nothing but pure strikers ever since she won the belt against Miesha.”

‘Stylistically, I’m the worst possible matchup out there for her and she knows that” Julianna Peña continued. “So it’s just kind of frustrating that she would ask me to again fight one more. Why don’t you ever ask anybody else to fight one more? Why is it just me?’

Julianna Peña then finished by lambasting Nunes for not defending the 135 pound title in recent times. ‘She hasn’t defended her title at 135 pounds since 2019,’ Peña said. ‘So if she needs longer time to cut the weight and come down to 135 since she says she’s super big right now, then I’ll wait if that’s what it means to be able to fight for the title.’
