Maybe if you want to fight one more time and take a little break, maybe after a long break come back and fight one more time, but I feel like you should.\u2019 I think (about it) a little bit. We\u2019ll see with this next stage what\u2019s going on.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nunes added that she&#8217;d like to start focusing more on the career of her fiancee, UFC strawweight contender Nina Ansaroff. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m a little bit tired of all the big fights,\u201d Nunes said. \u201cEveryone is happy and glad and proud that I did all that and I want a little break to get a family and focus more on Nina\u2019s career. We\u2019ll see. I say those thing, but you know how fighting is. We get involved so much and then we want to do it again. We\u2019ll see. I\u2019m looking for this fight with Holly for sure and I\u2019m ready for the call.\u201d<br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whatever the case, Amanda Nunes confirmed that a fight with Holly Holm is definitely in the works \u2014 she&#8217;s just waiting on the call.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThey don\u2019t call me yet, but I\u2019m waiting for it,\u201d he said. \u201cLet\u2019s see what\u2019s going to happen. I think this fight is very interesting. Holly Holm is the only fighter who is a former champions who I didn\u2019t fight her. That would be an interesting fight for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What do you think the future holds for Amanda Nunes?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>This article first appeared on&nbsp;<\/em><a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/\"><em>BJPENN.COM<\/em><\/a><em>&nbsp;on 2\/4\/2019.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Amanda Nunes, who now holds the UFC bantamweight and featherweight titles, is currently linked to a UFC 237 showdown with former bantamweight champ Holly Holm \u2014 though the fight is not official yet.
