Nunes: I’m the only one who deserved title fight
Nunes is 5-1 inside the UFC Octagon, is currently riding a three-fight win streak and believes she is the one who was most deserving of a title fight.
Earlier this week it was announced that Miesha’s first title defense would come against Amanda Nunes at UFC 200. Although most fans expected a rematch with Holly Holm or Miesha Tate, the champion chose to fight Nunes. Nunes is 5-1 inside the UFC Octagon, is currently riding a three-fight win streak and believes she is the one who was most deserving of a title fight:
Nunes (12-4 MMA, 5-1 UFC) might not be the biggest name or most attractive option with pay-per-view buyers, but with three consecutive victories, two of which came by first-round stoppage, she said no other fighter is worthy of going after Tate’s (18-5 MMA, 5-2 UFC) belt at this time.
I think I’m the only one that deserves this in the division right now, Nunes today told MMAjunkie Radio. I’m putting work in the cage and showing good fights and finishes. This is the best way to show everybody the contender, and I did.
