Newly-crowned woman’s bantamweight champion Amanda\u00a0Nunes may have just recently won UFC gold, but that hasn’t stopped her from focusing on her first title defense.<\/p>\n

Nunes won the belt from Miesha Tate at UFC 200<\/a>, where she submitted Tate \u00a0in the first round.<\/p>\n

With rumors of former champ Ronda Rousey potential return to the octagon<\/a>, Nunes discussed who she wants to fight next, and Rousey’s name is at the top of her list.<\/p>\n

“If they ask me who I want to fight, I\u2019m going to say I want to fight Ronda. I\u2019m not running from anyone,\u201d Nunes said according to Combate<\/a>. \u201cI\u2019m the champion and I can choose who I\u2019m going to fight. I will choose what\u2019s best for me and Ronda would be \u2018the\u2019 main fight, that\u2019s why it has to be against her, it has to be with Ronda.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Rousey hasn’t fought since losing the belt after Holly Holm knocked her out at UFC 193. The woman’s bantamweight title has been a bit of a hot potato, jumping from Holm’s waist, to Tate’s, and finally to Nunes’.<\/p>\n

\"Amanda<\/a><\/p>\n

Nunes (17-4) doesn’t have an official fight lined up yet, but with Rousey’s potential return, the Brazilian champ has her eyes set on the former long-time divisional kingpin.<\/p>\n

The woman’s bantamweight division has been in a state of flux ever since rumors of Rousey’s return surfaced last month. Many in the weight class have been vocal<\/a> about Ronda not deserving an immediate title shot upon her return, as she would be coming off of a KO loss in a fight that was hardly competitive against Holm.<\/p>\n

However, the UFC has not officially announced Rousey’s return, and she isn’t scheduled for a fight as of mid-October.<\/p>\n

With that being said, reports regarding Rousey’s return have continued to surface<\/a> over the course of the past several months.<\/p>\n

Who do you see winning a fight between Nunes and Rousey? Would Nunes retain the belt, or would Ronda return to the UFC with a victory? Sound off, PENN Nation!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
