Itâs been a decade since Amanda Nunes stopped Ronda Rousey, a fight many thought would be the end of âRowdyâsâ career. But now, with her comeback set for May 16, the landscape looks very different.
Speaking to MMA Junkie, Nunes was asked about Kayla Harrisonâs recent criticism of Rouseyâs return. The two were meant to fight earlier this year before Harrison pulled out due to injury.
Despite their past differences, Nunes is supportive of Rousey stepping back into the spotlight and hopes Harrison will do the same soon.
âI donât see nobody losing here. Ronda Rouseyâs back, sheâs going to fight Gina [Carano], this is great for womenâs MMA. This is great for all of us. I donât know what is going on with Kayla, I donât care,â Nunes said.
âYou know what I mean? I donât know what is going on, I just want a date though. I want Kayla focusing in the day to give me a date. I want to get in there and face her.â
âWhatever she has outside with whatever, I donât care. But, I donât see anything horrible here. I see like [itâs] great. Ronda Rousey is going to fight, everybody is going to watch it and me and Kayla I hope soon too and womenâs MMA wins and Iâm happy about it.â
