News Amanda Nunes OUT of UFC 265 due to COVID; Bout with Julianna Peña to be rescheduled

[Small Town Andrew]

Ouch this actually does hurt this card. Hope they rebook it soon

 

[chardog]

Now UFC 265 is super pointless then. The only reason Lewis vs Gane is a "title" fight is because they didn't want Amanda headlining lol.

didnt even know she was on the show........

 

[Nihongi]

Can't Aspen already rescheduled

Im sure if the opportunity presented itself they could make it happen, much more intriguing matchup with title implications.

She has covid.
Brazilians what's the covid situation like over there now?

She lives in Florida with a governor who is in denial… unless of course someone close to him gets effective by it

 

[MMAFanCal]

That sucks! I was really excited about finally Amanda shutting her up with those powerbombs to her face.

 

[Mittens]

Rats... hopefully Nunes gets no lingering effects and gets back in 100% form (not that she really needs the 100% except vs. Val/maybe GDR, but still)

Tate vs. Pena for #1 Contender fast track attempt for Miesha?

 

[Augustus Caesar]

Nooooooo. I was really looking forward to this one. Hopefully they can rebook it soon.

 

[560ti]

Really bad there lol.

Dummy should got vaccinated

being vaccinated helps tremendously with the symptoms but they're still a very good chance Nunes would of technically tested positive. Me and my wife tested positive earlier this week and we have zero symptoms, had already caught covid, and are both fully vaccinated

 

[TARTARA]

A Mandarin Ducking For Sure !

True but I doubt Pena would go for it

 

[2sk]

He just gets bribed is normal

Lol Shev yes, GDR, not at all. This isn't kickboxing.

 

[PlasticFishBowl]

Just have Valentina come up and fight Pena for the interim belt so we can get Nunes vs. Shev sometime early next year. That’s the only WMMA fight worth making these days in any division except straw weight

 

[Exarch01]

I'd still take Nunes on a ventilator over Pena, but get well soon.

 

[HeDidn'tWantTheFight]

He just gets bribed is normal

No. He just realized that states that implemented heavy lockdowns and mask protocols fared no better than the ones that didn't. Why take freedoms away if it won't make a difference?

 

[DOMMA]

She lives in Miami, Florida and the COVID situation is pretty bad but Florida is just ignoring it

eh....the death rate is not increasing and the # of those tested positive are not nearly as sick. The media knows that COVID stories sell so they spew some BS to get everyone worked up.

 

[sdpdude9]

Meh, not a fight I was very excited about. Just another body for Nunes. We’ll still see it though eventually.

 

[clutchCAT420]

Ducking pena. Smh...

 

[ArchGoat]

The Venezuelen Vixen must be livid !
