UFC women’s featherweight champion Amanda Nunes has described her experience with Julianna Pena<\/a> on The Ultimate Fighter.<\/p>\n

This Saturday night at UFC 277 in Dallas, Texas, the two are set to square off for the second time. Their rematch comes seven months after they fought the first time at UFC 269. The co-main event spot featured Nunes set to make another defense of her bantamweight title.<\/p>\n

In that bout, ‘The Lioness’ lost via second-round submission in one of the biggest upsets in MMA history. Following the monumental fight, the UFC decided to have the two rivals coach the latest season of The Ultimate Fighter<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It was an interesting experience for both women. For her part, Pena has discussed how she enjoyed being a coach in the program. The women’s bantamweight champion famously was a contestant on the show back in 2013.<\/p>\n

However, Amanda Nunes didn’t have the same experience. In a media scrum for UFC 277, the 34-year-old discussed her time on the show with Julianna Pena. It’s safe to say that she didn’t spend a lot of time around her rival. When she did, it was a bit strange.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just think she\u2019s weird. But she\u2019s in her own world, and I just did my own thing, so we didn\u2019t see each other that much.” (h\/t MMAFighting<\/em><\/a>)<\/p>\n

Amanda Nunes continued, \u201cWe saw each other just a couple times when the fights happened, but she was on her phone, doing something else, not looking at me. You know what, girl? You stay there. No worries, and let\u2019s do what we came here to do, and that\u2019s it.”<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t learn anything about her… She\u2019s just, I don\u2019t know, she\u2019s in her own world. So I didn\u2019t even want to interact with anything.\u201d<\/p>\n
