If she didn\u2019t give up, she would\u2019ve beat Julianna. I beat Sara McMann years ago. I feel like she can talk about whatever she wants. She has to do that to bring all the attention. I\u2019m going to tell her she can have all the attention she wants, because Saturday is my night. Nobody is going to take that belt from me.<\/p>\n\u201cShe has all the holes, so I can finish her on the floor,” Nunes continued. “Germaine (de Randamie) finished her. Germaine is a striker and finished Julianna Pena. My game is above all those girls she fought. I just need a mistake from her on the striking or on the floor.\u201d<\/p>\n
Although Amanda Nunes doesn’t think highly of Julianna Pena’s resume, she knows she can’t overlook her.
