This fight should have been the trilogy had Pena not sustained an injury in training, a rib injury that took her out of the fight and had her replaced Irene Aldana. Amanda Nunes must have already plans that this was going to be her last fight considering the pressure from her mother to quit fighting and focus on her baby now that she's a mother. So if Pena had not been out, we would have seen this fight that we are not going to see now. Becoming a parent can change some things, and for Amanda Nunes, it is good decision.
Yes and now Julianna Peña is having the ball with saying that Amanda Nunes is scared of her because she retired after that Irene Aldana fight but Julianna Peña backed out because of her injury, now who is the real one running, I think Julianna Peña would just be grateful that Amanda Nunes is not around now she will have a chance to get the belt for her self, and she keeps on saying a thing about how Nunes retired, for me Irene Aldana and Julianna Peña fight could be a viable one to take for the route of a champion then Grasso could get up the division and make her shot, to become the double champion,
Amanda could come back if the offer is appealing. Dana could always make an offer if they see they can make money as well. Dana said he was happy about Nunes's retirement, is sour grapes. Of course, he knows he is losing profit.
It happens all the time to fighters who retire, they come back when an offer is more than enough. Pena couldn't just get over with Nunes retiring, she just have to shout like a bitter bitch that can't move on. One thing that they learn from being rivals is that one will always remain a hater when they are not the last one who won the last fight.
Uncle Dana White can not speak of ill things about Amanda Nunes retiring even though he doesn't like that idea, but surely if the price is right Amanda Nunes could return 1 last time, well if her money is depleted in a fast significant manner, and she doesn't invest it with some business it will surely deplete fast, then that is the time she could be back in the UFC with a good offer, or maybe she can give PFL a great chance and take the path for Francis Ngannou and for the Amanda Nunes VS Kayla Harrison fight, well this is all wishful thinking,
