News Amanda Nunes Officially Removed From Roster

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.
 
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?

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."
