‘Bring more girls from other promotions’ - Amanda Nunes wants fresh contenders after UFC 269

UFC bantamweight and featherweight champion Amanda Nunes is preparing to take on Julianna Pena at UFC 269, but that doesn’t mean she hasn’t also got her eyes on the future. While the ‘Lioness’ is glad to be facing a new contender in the ‘Venezuelan Vixen’, it sounds like she’s hoping that the promotion won’t make her go through another rematch for her next outing.

Having already faced Valentina Shevchenko, Germaine de Randamie twice, and most top contenders at least once, the Brazilian doesn’t seem to see enough new names on the horizon. In fact, she would welcome it if the UFC started to look for women from different promotions to maintain the title picture fresh.
