Recently, it was confirmed by the UFC brass that former UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey would be making her highly anticipated return to the Octagon at December 30th in the main event of UFC 207<\/a>, the UFC’s New Year’s Eve card, to fight women’s bantamweight champion Amanda Nunes in a highly anticipated showdown for the women’s bantamweight title.<\/p>\n

While Nunes headlined UFC 200 with Miesha Tate, who she defeated via submission in the main event<\/a> to claim the women’s bantamweight championship, she has been very open about the fact that she believes this is the biggest fight of her career, and that the fight will certainly bring her quite a bit of attention from viewers.<\/p>\n

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

Ahead of the fight, Nunes spoke to MMAJunkie<\/a> to explain why this fight will change her life:<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m very happy. This fight is a gift \u2013 it will change my life,\u201d Nunes told MMA Junkie. \u201cShe can be the favorite, there\u2019s no problem. Our encounter is going to be on Dec. 30, and then it will be something else \u2013 it will be just me and her in there. I\u2019m certainly going to win and, faith in God, leave that night as a champion.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBut that\u2019s part of it, right? Hopefully I\u2019ll make a lot of people a lot of money. I know some people will bet on me, and I hope to give a lot of people a lot of money in that bet.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

While Nunes has remained adamant that Rousey certainly deserves the rematch despite the fact that she lost her last fight<\/a>, and then subsequently took a year off from the Octagon, top ranked women’s bantamweight Julianna Pena was campaigning for a fight with Nunes. <\/p>\n

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

With her fight with Rousey announced, Nunes weighed-in on the status of the rest of the women’s bantamweight division:<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are many girls climbing up the rankings. There\u2019s Julianna Pena, who needs to stop talking and fight \u2013 because people want to see big fights. That\u2019s why they scheduled this fight with me and Ronda, because it\u2019s a great fight.<\/p>\n

\u201cJulianna needs to make her name, to lift up her name in order for people to start asking for that fight. There\u2019s (Valentina) Shevchenko, whom I\u2019ve beat, coming off a win over Holly Holm, who\u2019s also been evolving in the division.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
