For UFC women’s bantamweight Amanda Nunes, it’s an opportunity served up on a platter. It’s the kind of thing that could change her life, if everything goes according to plan.
“I’ve been waiting for this fight,” Nunes told MMAjunkie. “I always put in my Twitter, tagging (UFC matchmaker) Sean Shelby and (UFC President) Dana White all the time, saying I want this fight. I need a fight like this to prove I’m ready for the title shot. Then I got the call that it happened, and thank God.”
“I think the first minute she’ll come to strike, and then when she sees I’m better standing up she’ll try to take me down,” Nunes said.
“I think for sure, 100 percent, I beat Ronda Rousey after this fight with Cat,” Nunes said. “We wait for these moments. You can show that you’re prepared for the title only if you get these very big opportunities. I’m ready.”
