Dana White doesn’t think Amanda Nunes has the same hunger she once did.<\/p>\n

Nunes lost her bantamweight title back at UFC 269 to Julianna Pena and although the two are set to rematch at UFC 277<\/a>, White doesn’t think the Brazilian is the savage she once was.<\/p>\n

“The question is, for Amanda \u2013 and this is what happens to all fighters \u2013 you know the big narrative we don\u2019t pay anybody? Amanda\u2019s rich,\u201d White told\u00a0ESPN<\/a>\u00a0(h\/t MMAJunkie<\/a>). \u201cAmanda is a multi-millionaire who is now at a completely different financial status. She has a baby now. Her life \u2013 she is not that hungry savage she was when she started to take this run at becoming a world champion. A lot of that factors in.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, White believes Pena is just getting those perks of being a UFC champion including getting paid more so she won’t want to give up the belt so easily, especially to Nunes.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd now Julianna\u2019s at a place where she beat her, Julianna\u2019s starting to see a lot of the things that come along with being the world champion now \u2013 financially, popularity as you get out in the world,\u201d White said. \u201cThat belt is the key that opens a lot of doors. So I\u2019m sure she wants to get to that Amanda Nunes level, financially and everything else. All that stuff factors into the fight, and those are all questions I can\u2019t answer.\u201d<\/p>\n

Although Dana White doesn’t think Amanda Nunes still has the fire she once had, he believes Julianna Pena may bring that back out of her. He knows she doesn’t like Pena and after coaching TUF against one another, White thinks this is the fight that Nunes could go back to being the young, hungry savage.<\/p>\n

\u201cI haven\u2019t seen it, but I do know she does not like Julianna,\u201d White said about Nunes. \u201cShe thinks Julianna has a big mouth and all that other stuff. For her, that would have to be her motivation is to beat Julianna because she doesn\u2019t like her \u2013 because for all the other reasons, Amanda doesn\u2019t need to win the fight.\u201d<\/p>\n
