Nunes Eyes Harrison
Kayla Harrison shall be difficult Julianna Pena for the 135-pound gold at UFC 316 on June 7. In the course of the Brazilian UFC Combat Go broadcast for UFC 314, Amanda Nunes defined why he desires to combat Harrison greater than Pena (by way of MMAFighting).
“Kayla or Julianna, I need my belt again, and I’ll combat for it,” Nunes mentioned. “I’m pushed by challenges. I wish to combat for one thing. Kayla is powerful as hell, that’s the one I need. It might be Julianna, cool. I fought her twice, I’ll combat her once more. Kayla is powerful, she’s coming now and is on a very good degree, has good judo and nice grappling, she’s evolving on the ft, and that’s the one I need. This new factor.”
Nunes and Harrison as soon as skilled collectively beneath American High Crew, however “The Lioness” didn’t develop a powerful relationship with the No. 2-ranked UFC girls’s bantamweight.
“We didn’t have a partnership within the gymnasium,” Nunes mentioned. “There was no such factor, however we did some coaching right here and there. I used to be out of form, I used to be all the time touring, coming again and doing a little coaching. It wasn’t like we have been all the time coaching [together] or I used to be in form and coaching with Kayla. By no means like that. It was all the time one thing random, however that’s it. I’m prepared for anybody. I imply it.”
The UFC lately introduced that Nunes shall be inducted into the Corridor of Fame throughout Worldwide Combat Week this summer season.
