The Fiery Women of MMA, In And Out Of The Cage

Amanda Nunes Responds To Critics

When the head of the sport calls you out, you know it’s bad. You’ve already been the topic of conversation from the UFC community so that just adds insult to injury. The reason for all this is because she backed out of her rematch with Valentina Shevchenko. She backed out because she was hospitalized the morning of with sinusitis. That’s when Dana White said her withdrawal was “90 percent mental and maybe ten percent physical.”

“I want to say something. This is the fight that I want,” Nunes said unprompted Thursday on a UFC 215 media conference call. “I don’t have anybody in this division that I don’t want to fight.”
