As far as Amanda Nunes is concerned, she is putting forth plans to compete at UFC 207 against former champion Ronda Rousey.
Nunes, who won the belt at UFC 200 in July over Miesha Tate, has yet to defend the female bantamweight championship.
“I don’t know anything yet, I’m waiting for the call. It’s highly likely, right?” Nunes said in an interview with Combate. “Those girls are crazy. Juliana Pena says I’m running from her, Valentina Shevchenko also said I’m running from her, and now she’s saying Juliana Pena is running from her, too. I don’t like to play games.
“If they ask me who I want to fight, I’m going to say I want to fight Ronda. I’m not running from anyone, I’m the champion and I can choose who I’m going to fight. I will choose what’s best for me and Ronda would be ‘the’ main fight, that’s why it has to be against her, it has to be with Ronda.”
UFC 207 is set for December 30 from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Rousey has not fought since losing the belt to Holly Holm this past November.
