I think Amanda finds a way to get the victory. When it's all said and done, I just think she's the better fighter.
No path for her to win besides Dana and his henchmen( judges) take away from Pena in case the fight goes to the distance. Pena not afraid of her and will take the fight to her. Has a better Cardio as well. But like I said, scumbag Dana will try to sell that ' goat' narrative at any cause and will steal from Pena in case of decision.
@@ducaalea1918 No path for her to win...man, that's pretty drastic. This is the same woman that went out there and SMOKED everyone they put in front of her, but all of a sudden there's no path to victory? If if Pena wins again, there will always be a path to victory in any fight for Amanda Nunes. She's a beast.
@@FightGameAnalysis I am not denying what she achieved in the sport. I am just saying the fear factor is no longer there. You also have to realize that she isn't really into the game($$$). You can not underestimate what money can do to you especially in a brutal sport like MMA. It is hard to justify that extra run or that grueling workout when you have X amount of money in the bank.
Wow Amanda honestly has nothing against Julianna. She is approaching this rematch with a clear mind and to just push her career , nothing else. She's not personal about it or anything. She is at peace with all that happened and now she's just focused on moving on with her life and making a name for herself. No trash talking. No extreme personal comments about Julianna. Nice!!!
Because she doesnt want to look dumb again, How many times did she say to Julianna and in interviews that Julianna was "delusional".
@@dynamo6796 she mentioned that again in this very video that Julianna was delusional despite losing to her.
Everyone who knows Amanda nunes that the last fight wasn’t her she wasn’t the same didn’t look herself nothing to take away from pena she’s good but she’s not better then Amanda nunes the rematch is gonna be way different Amanda is gonna destroy her like she’s done everyone else layer in-front of her
Amanda is about to have her GSP vs Serra 2 moment with Peña this weekend. PURE DOMINATION.
🤣
Fax
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I hope you're right, I don't see Amanda being able to surpass pass round 3
🤣🤡🤡🤡
I still have not recovered since the loss but I have confidence that she will get it done and get her strap back LFG AMANDA
Same outcome my dude. She’s garbage af.
she will lose again. Pena has her number and isnt scared of her.
@@spenser6353 - Nunez is not convincing at all. She's definitely still shook and doubting herself.
@@spenser6353 I think you’re right. Pena has two rounds to survive and then the odds start to level and swing in her favor with every passing second. I think Amanda has two good rounds to get it done and then she’s going to slow down and lose in the latter rounds.
Amanda is more technical, but unlike her other opps, Pena is going to keep coming forward until she is finished. That’s a nightmare scenario for Nunes. She is the ultimate front runner who will look for the exits if you give her the opportunity.
@@MMAGamblingTips I think it will be a good fight. But I dont see Nunes being able to do anything different from the first fight.
Idk what’s going to happen tom night but I really enjoy listening to Amanda talk about her family, her new gym & her goals. She’s worked really hard to achieve what she has & to see the joy she has in her life is inspiring.
To sum up the interview... Amanda is getting her belt back 🤣💯💪💪💪
LOL 🤣
She thinks she is.
@@robd8713 You think she thinks. She thinks she knows. I know she knows.
She looks and sounds sooo good! I really hope she wins her title back! Gooooo LIONESS!!!
She met her tiger so goodluck
Siberian tiger
Got a feeling Nunes going to TKO Pena this time
Amanda the man nunes
I bet it's gonna be an uneventful decision win for Amanda
@@afshinmehr9528 dumb dumb
I hope so sure deserves her belt back💯💯
@@lilygatschenberger8811 his belt u mean
I did not like Amanda Nunes for a long time. I voted against her when she fought Pena the first time because I believed that Pena was saying the truth which was that Nunes was not training.
Pena also showed confidence that I did not understand. When the 1st round came, I then suddenly said, that Pena is a goner and she still won. Now that I understand why Nunes had admittingly not really trained, camp problems, knee injury etc; I understand why Amanda Nunes lost. After listening to Nunes speak here, I do not dislike her anymore but I still would like Pena to show the world that she is good enough to beat Nunes, but I really do not believe that Pena has what it takes to beat the best version of Nunes. I was SHOCKED when Holly Holmes knocked out Rhonda Rousey; I did not like Rousey one bit so I was happy about that; but when AMANDA NUNES KNOCKED OUT THE GREAT CRIS CYBORG, I DROPPED TO THE FLOOR!
Even though I did not like AMANDA NUNES; I SAID THAT GIRL IS THE REAL DEAL! BUT SHE IS TOO COCKY...Now I get it. It's a Job. You have to sell yourself. You have create hype to stay relevant, but the real Amanda Nunes here proves to be her true humble self. Unless Amanda Nunes gets severely hurt in the next few days, I believe that she will finish Pena before the 5th round. Pena goes down easily when she gets hit hard, and if Amanda has her stamina back, there is no version of Pena would be able to handle that. Pena also hits hard but I think that Amanda has far more potential to do severe damage. Pena has heart, but I do not think her heart will save her this time around! @BlackCamaileon
So ur basically u still don't like Ronda?? LOL you don't make any sesnse..Pena will prove she can do it again..watch this Sat!
Amanda's english has really improved.. i understood her very clearly in the interview..
I never really had a hard time understanding what Amanda wanted to say in English but yes I agree she stepped her English up a bit
A-MAN-da Nunes. She's really a guy💯
@@GodsInUs What a childish comment, you mad because she if bigger, badder & has more money than you? Brazillian women tend to have more masculine features.
@@GodsInUs That's not even funny dummy
She sounds like she always has. Like a kid with downsyndrome
Nunez only lost bc she was injured and could not train as hard. Pena has zero chance in the rematch. Zero!!
You bot she was saying she was at her best before the fight 😂
I think Pena was just more motivated than Nunes. Pena has the fire in her belly we haven’t seen from Amanda since she beat Tate and Ronda.
@Davin Vigil she wasn't dominated ,she was finished,but not dominated, she won the first round with ease
@@Bluzzee she definitely didn’t say that she for sure was cocky but did not say she was at her best lol
that's what they all said the first time lol
Amanda wins that fight 9 out of 10 times the first round tells it all in the first fight amanda wasn't 100 percent at all no excuses but it was clear as day you can see it she wins this fight fairly easy
Amanda can take it to the ground, and she definitely has more power in her punches.. she will either try to win every round,,or go for the finish if she can find it. If that leg injury was causing her problems, and it's fixed now and she is super driven,,,theb I see Amanda definitely winning the rematch...
she will lose again. Pena has her number and isnt scared of her.
Amanda dropped Pena easily in the first fight so we know when she got tired that quickly, something was off. Pena button mashed and won with a very weak rear naked. The best fighters improve after a loss and again, two division champion so Pena has to defend against a prepared Amanda before even claiming to be better.
Amanda Been Gas Tank Issues Pena Saw Dat & Took Advantage🖐
She kicked her leg and she slipped. That's not dropping her.
nothing was off. Amanda blew her w*d early. All the shots she threw the first round, she threw with all her strength and she missed most of them. PLUS second round Pena pieced Amanda up pretty well. Amanda gassed and tapped out. thats ALL that happened. People need to stop acting like Amanda is indestructible. Pena beat her and did it pretty EASILY
Amanda has dog water cardio since day won, that’s why she finishes them all quick. So no one can figure her out, but Pena did.
@@empressraven yup gassed out and she quit, and once you take that quitting path it gets easier to do every time. Pena beats her again she took her soul.
I like Marc interviews more than Brett's. Brings more personality
When its picture in picture with Marc I had to cover my phone 3 months ago. Facial hair was atrocious
I think he sucks up to whoever hes interviewing and thay kinda vothers me but iverall hes great
You can see she’s hungry now!! Poor Peña 🦁
This side of Amanda is so enjoyable, makes me feel like she’s gonna get her belt back
in Amanda's last fight, it definitely wasn't the same Amanda that fought Cris Cyborg and Ronda Rousey, she seemed slower and almost tired... I think this fight will be different if she is injury free and ready...
Who’s Crissy and Rhonda?
I said the same thing
Lol Pena give her a hard time that's why she lost I think Pena will send her to WWE
No doubt. Watch the beginning of the fight for Cyborg, Holm, and Rousey where Bruce names the fighters and to when they get told the rules by the red. You’ll see how loose and calm and bouncy Nunes was, almost to the point of smiling. Then look at her vs Pena, she stiff, breathing hard and looked skinny even. A lot of her haters think fighting is just showing up and punching, but it really is a mental toughness as well.
This rematch comes down to the mindset she has going in and so far she seems a lot more focused
Man she caught a little resistance and quit . Didn’t even fight the choke .
If she fixed the cardio problem then Pena has absolutely no chance.Not to mention I just don't think her ❤ was in that fight.
Come on, we have watched her go five hard rounds several times and she's not had cardio problems, she had covid and should've waited a while before fighting it could have been a factor
I don't think this fight is going to a decision and by that I mean Amanda is going to leash an ungodly amount of violence on Pena to get her belt back and remind people who the best female fighter is. I think she gets the TKO or KO within 3 rounds. WAR Amanda!!
Money on Pene
Let's gooooo Best comment I've seen so far🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yeah she only needed to work on her thinking and discussion making while fighting.
She just threw that over hand over and over when she has used other punches before that would have easily worked on julianna if she wasn't seeing red.
Yeah its hilarious that ppl think Pena is best of the best after a submission win lol she will most likely light her face up and drop her with 1-2 punches like how she did cyborg
Could clearly see covid still affecting nunes in that fight pena was getting pieced up that wasn't even 80% nunes
No offense to the champ. Amanda is going to get a first round tko.
Let’s get real people, the lioness underestimated her… she gonna get that belt back tho! 💪🏼
Can't trust both fighters. It's a 50/50 fight or maybe similar to GSP vs Serra 2...
I feel like Amanda got too comfortable being the champion. She should have a better performance this time.
Amanda looks very beautiful in this interview ❤️
Lol
Amanda is just going to win she will finish Pena in the rematch 👏 plus I wanna see her gym grow and hopefully others will be apart also
🤡🤡🤡
she will lose again. Pena has her number and isnt scared of her.
Hey pussyboy, what are you gonna say when Peña beats her again?
@@spenser6353 so does Valentina, and also So does 🐈
Great job Marc, asking all the difficult questions. This interview has that calm, open and relaxing feeling. Love and respect the Lioness
Thanks buddy
I feel sorry for Pena. She's about to meet the Amanda that made Cyborg knees buckle.
The Lioness Goat will Roar again
Nunes is going to win this time
Y’all said that last time.
@@Bluzzee doesn't look like you saw how she lost,pena was grasping for straws, i see a methodical win by nunes ,but am rooting for pena, the only thing pena proved in last fight is that anything can happen in the octogan, she did not prove she is the better women
@@silence-humility-calmness I seen nunes not seeing Peña as threat thinking she was gonna get a easy win in the first 😂 acting like she wasn’t landing on Peña then gassed her self because she underestimated her opponent. Nunes got lazy & it’s doesn’t take a marine biologist to figure it out guy 🤦🏻♂️
@@silence-humility-calmness nunes got lazy & quit.. it’s obvious you’re not that good at critical thinking 😂 so the name for you is TERRIBLE..
Nope
Respect to both Amanda and Peña!.. looking forward to rematch.
Pena was not been intimidated by the status and power Amanda
Everyone has a great camp until they lose then it’s “a lot of things went wrong in training camp”
You don't learn from winning all the time .
It's the losses that make you look at your overall game .
Yes ofcourse you can't tell your opponent before the fight "Hey I had a bad camp" or "Hey i have an injury", on the flip side when you reveal these things after the fight it sounds like an excuse for losing but sometimes its true, i remember Ngannou revealed after the fight that he had a knee injury going into the Gane fight, Usman vs Masvidal 1 Usman was injured before that fight. When you reveal your injury after the fight its an "excuse" to people depending whether you won or not which is a shame.
Everytime I hear her talking she just impresses me more and more, A very special lady to be sure
And hearing her say she was kinda nervous that heavyweights might not want to listen to her, Forget MMA, everybody could learn something from her!
🤣🤣🤣
This interview is very telling. Notice how amanda is not saying anything to underestimate juliana as she did in the first fight. Her explaining what went wrong, we can expect a way better fight
I think you are right!
This will be Amanda’s hardest fight I think… mentally… I think she wins via TKO in the 2nd round
She’s getting mauled
@@hmsp7799 mauled? hahahha did you see the last fight? it wasn't a methodical win for pena, she was throwing haymaymekers in desperation, i see amenda picking her apart easy, though i am rooting for pena
@@silence-humility-calmnesspeña’s striking makes brunson look like calvin kattar,her striking is horrendous
@@yeeeaaahmayneee3808 WMMA is trash.
Him So. Julianna getting Mauled BIG BLOCK EYE HER FACE, SHE HAS A DAMAGE
Amanda fire is more lit then it ever was before.🔥🌪
It's interesting hearing how she talks about Juliana now, It's almost like she respects her or something.
😂You can't say anything to a person you lost
Starting a new gym is a lot of stress but tuf should have helped get her in the killer mind state being around all the hungry up and comers. I never really liked Amanda but god do I really hate pena, she’s so arrogant and has aweful striking, I’m not sure what was wrong with nunes last time, her striking was way off than her usual self
I really think she'll make a statement when she get her belt back no doubt.. the Lioness 💪🏾
Don't count Julianna out, she's a tuff cookie.
@@ericsivilla4091 eh she had a good night she will get killed next fight
she will lose again. Pena has her number and isnt scared of her.
Trash
I really think he’ll make a statement when he gets his belt back no doubt, Tony The Tiger.
Fixed it for you! 🤣
Let's go Amanda, bring back KO's in woman's MMA!
There's always Jessica Andrade you know, she's never in a boring fight.
This is my most anticipated rematch In years, I won 12,000$ on a 50$ 4 way parley on this card picking Peña to win and Charles, you should of seen how crazy I went when I won lol, i won’t be making the same bet again lol… I got so lucky.. Nunez is the greatest woman fighter of all time and she was humbled that night.
Congrats ! Every straight bet and parley I’ve been betting I’ve been losing , hope your luck rubs off on me
Should HAVE., dummy.
What'd you spend it on?
@@midgetmutilator8029 You don’t need to bring others down to make yourself feel good, that’s toxic. Do you have a therapist that can help you? There’s help everywhere, if you need it reach out to me and I can help. I’m sorry you have to call me dumb to make yourself feel better, it’s going to be okay I promise.
@@marcioffi27 I'm just glad I could teach you something, even if you should have learned it around age 7.
I'm looking forward to this fight to see if the Lioness is still hungry enough to keep fighting . I think Amanda needed a loss to shake up her world . IF the Lioness is truly back I don't see this fight going past the 2nd rd. Nothing against Julianna , I just think when Amanda is on there's not another women in the 135lb division that can beat her . May the best woman win and come out healthy when all is said and done .
Nailed it Amanda was getting to complacent this loss was good for her
Nina making sure Amanda keeps the money coming in lol
Amanda “Definitely” Nunes
Lol
Watching TUF I can’t even choose a side now 😂😩
Thats why I love and hate that show, I don't ever wanna see anyone loose after watching their backstory's. 😂
Gotta be one of the worst seasons ever
❤️ Amanda Nunes what a great fighter and person.
Amanda nunes very beautiful and attractive great fighter 😘 hi
Yes Girls find her very attractive
How could you not like her. She's so down to earth
Down to earth? She told to pena before the fight that she will never be a champ, she's a bully
@@bradleyspears7820 It's the fight game. They both talk
Amanda wins the rematch !!
Word I 👀 her getting the W easy
I love Nunes I hope she gets her title bk.. but I also “like” Juliana, and I want her to be great as well. I’m so torn.😩😩😩 I think I rather Juliana fight at 125 that makes it easier for me😆😆😆😆
She won’t beat Valentina. Amanda couldn’t even finish her
Adore this woman and she’s a Beast
She is a man! Lol
She's the pitcher in her relationship 🤣
@Mazkebar
Grow up! What are you like 13 years old?
She's a dude
Great interview!
The lioness with the eye-of-the-tiger .. will that create something bad : liger or tigon or something even better ??
Hopefully an entertaining match - not a fan of a 30 second ko.
Love both, and they are great fighters.. Can’t wait to see who wins to go on and fight Valentina.
yeah she's ready....the last time she switched everything up after Cat she came back in hungry....i personally think Juliana is underestimating her and thats ok. from her interviews she feels that she caused the damage amanda took. i think it was exactly like amanda said she gassed out because she didnt want to reschedule the fight. any fan of hers saw something was off with her.
I love this girl !!!
So real
Bless
😌
🙏
💖
Yea she's a Savage let's go lioness 💯
BALSAK
Her apparent m need to get out of ATT and train in her own garage could be her undoing. I get she’s the lone focus now but at what cost? We will see!
Well... when "you're the best" ...people forget what got them there.... so they belive the are too talented or good to listen to anyone but "the bests" opinion.... but I agree...her path forward has been darkened
Amanda nunes very beautiful and attractive great fighter
I want Juliana to win but listening to her makes me feel confused...every fighter is very positive and enthusiastic
Confused how?
Look, when your dominating the way she has you can become some what complacent. She had alot of things going on outside at the time. She probably didn't take the fight as serious. I'd bet the house she shows up this time.
You won your house 💪
@@cataleyacataleya3377 Juliana is one of the toughest chicks alive.
I’m glad she told the truth about why she lost
Do y’all think pena wins again like I’m confused on this fight ima have to play both sides fantasy wise
Good interview , good to see Mark didn't shy away from asking the tough questions (mentioning "retire" )
Amanda is nothing but good vibes
She strike me as the most insincere fighter in the ufc . Idk why but I don’t trust her lmao 😂
😬😬😬😬👉1️⃣🇧🇷
Pena has grew on me & she’s sexy & did what she said she was gonna do regardless of what happened to Amanda, a lot to gain for both fighters & a lot on the line may the best fighter win.
I think amanda will win in the rematch by tko
She has the right mindset
Her English keeps getting better I love it 😁
720p? Can we please upload the video in the native resolution?
She is always gonna be my favorite. Lets see what pena has to say about it. Pena is coming with it!
Amanda can only win if she comes forward and that is so hard to do with a bulldog like peña, and still.
Amanda's glow mid incredible. She's such a beautiful women and such a beast. crazy how someone can smile so much and yet dominate so much.
You know that's a man, right?
@@rustyshackleford8473 when I said beautiful woman I was t referring to her looks.
@@rustyshackleford8473 grow up bro
@@darindixon5342 You need to learn what it means to grow up.
@Felix don't be an intolerant transphobe...
She is right about that people are looking for words to make Dana look bad. But hey that comes with the territory when you are the best at something.
Dana makes himself look bad by giving one of the nelk boys waay more money then half his fighters who die for him as a birthday gift.
Amanda is so nice
They sure are.
No he’s not.
She’s shampion
The UFC seems to like to shelter some Champions from certain competition for promotional reasons.
Hi everyone! Im Venezuelan so Im one million percent behinf the Vixen. STILL I admire, ;love and respect U very VERY much Ms Ananda! Bendiciones!
I wonder how long the Ariel rub will last for Marc Raimondi. Hope he's grateful.
I hate these interviews all the questions are easy leading softballs you really get nothing from these
She was clapping for Pena when she lost she's a amazing champion and is the goat by far her and Valentina both class acts and should of been on pound for pound list
Nunes is the best when she's gonna get her belt back
Exactly remember the cyborg fight and Pena is a weak fighter compared to her other opponents she beat
Let’s go Amanda!
You mean, Armando. Be sensitive to pronouns.
@@mr.bigred6908 she’s much more of a man than you are, that’s for sure!
@@nightowl7620 he is! Lol!
Great interview Marc, hopefully ESPN can have you DO ALL of the interviews from now on!!!!!!
Please ESPN
Na
Such a heartfelt interview. She's not just a monster-fighter...
She's such a soft women inside...Nina plays a big role.
You sound like an absolute drooltard.
I love Amanda she's super down to earth, so humble, and is always gonna b the best female fighter. She's the GOAT forever.
Agreed
I want to see Raimondi vs Nunes.
Amanda ‘Imma getta da belt back’ Nunez
There's a lot on her shoulders right now; with a baby, fixing up a new gym, and the rematch.. but I see she's the most animated, the most happy and the most passionate when she's talking about remodeling her gym. The rematch comes across like it's a job, she loses some excitement in comparison. One mantra, "I'm getting the belt back." might not be enough for the laser-focused "Pain to the Power Peña".
She’s either going to starch Peña in round one or get finished again that’s a fact
ALWAYS THE CHAMP 👑🦁
It's amazing how humble a loss can make someone. I dont say that as a shot or bad thing. Conor should have humbled himself, his problem is he thinks he's the same fighter that beat Eddie & etc. Amanda seems eager to prove herself and thats the difference. Still rooting for Peña but hope its a competitive fight
Conor? who mentioned conor🤔
It's like hating Conor is a hobby for some sad people...who cares dude, he isn't in the video.
Fair play to her learning English, a lot of fighters dont bother
Yes her English is getting better
Well, how would she communicate with her partner? She doesn’t speak Portuguese.
I have really come to adore the Lioness.
She is for real. IMO she has to let any soreness about the mother thing slide because the fact is it doesn't detract from Nunes in any way. As a matter of fact both women are elite athletes who are trailblazing in their own right.
Dana White is the only person that claims Nunes has a lot of money. Even Nunes herself has yet to ever say that
Where is Marc Raimondis neck?
I’m here for the Marc being short jokes
Imo opening her own gym was a little early she should have done it after her career, she may be distracted with a lot of things
