However, as far as Albuquerque veteran, Holly Holm is concerned, Nunes’ decision to retire was not influenced by an apparent fear of ex-champion, Peña.

“(Amanda) Nunes didn’t retire because she’s scared of (Julianna) Peña,” Holly Holm told MMA Fighting ahead of UFC Vegas 77. “We all know that. But Peña beat Nunes fair and square. Who knows what was going on. I’m not trying to take away from Peña at all. She went in and she won that night, so I take nothing away from that, but Nunes is not scared of Peña.”

15-6 as a professional, Holm, the current number three ranked bantamweight contender, became just the second bantamweight champion in the history of the UFC back in December 2015, knocking out inaugural champion, Ronda Rousey with a brutal second round high-kick KO in Australia.

However, speaking during her media availability ahead of UFC Vegas 77 this weekend, Holm, who is chasing a vacant bantamweight title fight with a victory over Silva this weekend, has welcomed the possibility of a future re-run with Rousey.

“I don’t know if she’ll (Ronda Rousey) really come back,” Holly Holm told assembled media. “I mean, who knows if it’s just talk? I know she’s a very competitive person. There’s a reason why she was an Olympian and there’s a reason why she was a champion for so long.”

“I would absolutely revisit that fight and at either weight [bantamweight or featherweight],” Holly Holm explained. “I don’t really think that’s an advantage or disadvantage depending on the weight. We’ll see if she comes back. I know that she’s been pretty busy with her life and whatever she wants to do. More power to her – but if she comes back, that would be great to fight again.” (Transcribed by Sportskeeda)
