    Nunes has told ESPN that she had lingering injuries going into the Peña fight. I must repeat that she didn't say anything about problems or injuries in the post-fight interview. Now suddenly after a few months on from the fight she makes these claims. Do you believe her? On a scale of 1-10, how excited are you for the new series of TUF?

    See the quotes from her interview in the below article:

    She was out of shape but won't be honest. Nunes thought that all them broads we're scared of her and Pena and her chin said **** you and your mustache and beat her at her own game, fist fighting.

    Those injuries didn`t make her walk straight into punches, head movement! Head movement!

    Rousey wasn`t scared of Nunes.

    Nunes did look very off, could've been the after effects of covid/injury.. who knows.

    Regardless, Pena was the better fighter that night and should get her credit for dethroning the champ.

    Nunes has been looking bad for a while. Her fight with De Randaime was horrific.

    Her tactics were off, she just walked forwards with no respect for Pena`s power, she didn`t block or slip one shot.

    Rousey knew it was over that's why she went in and got destroyed. She was sacrificing for Dana White privilege.

    1/10 in excitement for TUF by the way...

    Covington vs Masvidal would have been an absolute entertainment fest

    lol! She got destroyed because she was just a judo expert with no stand up skills.

    It's been awhile since I've looked at the updated rankings on the UFC's website, and Julianna's new championship profile is very striking. It's been awhile since we've had a women's bantamweight champion that actually resembles a woman.

    As for Amanda, I don't know why sustaining an injury would force you to switch camps all of a sudden after 8 years.
