News Amanda Nunes Officially Removed From Roster

[HaulParris]

Hespect to WMMA GOAT.

Now it's time to make an Atomweight division - maybe have a TUF season with Grasso and Shevchenko as coaches.

That was fast. Anyone know if she withdrew from the USADA test pool as well. I really thought the retirement was just hype for the Pena trilogy.

I think it does not bring her anything.
She already beat Pena.
IMHO it showed that the first fight was a fluke...Let's not forget Amanda had Covid right before the first fight, and made a point of going 5 rounds of dominating Amanda on the rematch.
If it was someone else, I would have "allowed" in my mind as a possibility.
But I feel that Amanda proved she is the better fighter, and I see absolutely no need for a new rematch.

Who rises to take her place?

And? Lol


Glad she retired on top though, not many do.

Call me crazy but I saw this coming from the moment she retired.

She's only 35. Plenty of time to get on that retirement juice and come back in a few years if Pena is even still relevant.

Did she withdraw from the test pool yet?

 

[FloydMayweatherMMA]

Just make wufc and be done with it.

Worse Ultimate Fighting Championship?

Whatever man just separate them from the men

There never were any rankings for UFC W145.

But it was included on the ranked site with Nunes as champ and nobody below her.

Amanda is scared of Pena...
According to Pena.

You're probably right. Pena probably even paid for her own tickets to the Aldana fight. Probably even paid off a couple UFC cameramen and production to make sure her face was on tv plenty. Probably.

I'm not even a Pena fan, but it looked like the classic UFC "We don't make fights on fight night, except this one."

Good riddance.
