Dana White: Nunes vs. Pena 2 ‘will crush’ Ronda Rousey vs. Holly Holm numbers

UFC president Dana White has high expectations for the rematch between Julianna Peña and Amanda Nunes.

Peña dethroned Nunes at UFC 269 earlier this month via second-round rear-naked choke in what is widely considered one of the greatest upsets in UFC history. The performance from Nunes was in stark contrast to her other appearances in the Octagon, the bulk of which accounted for her remarkable five-year reign over two divisions. The ‘Lioness’ alluded to something being wrong with her body during her post-fight interview with UFC color commentator Joe Rogan, and White confirmed that was indeed the case that night.
