“I’m coming off of fighting three former world champions and I just beat the best wrestler in the division,” Pena said after her fight. “I have some news, Amanda Nunes, I want to fight you. This girl is fighting a girl who only has three wins. Nobody has had a tougher road in the UFC except for me and I want to fight Amanda. It’s time for her to quit ducking, that’s my fight.”

Amanda Nunes is scheduled to defend her featherweight title against Megan Anderson at UFC 259 on March 6. Her last fight took place at UFC 250 where she successfully defended her Bantamweight title against Felicia Spencer.
She is currently on an 11 match streak. Pena on the other hand, has had mixed results with 2 wins and 2 losses in her last 4 matches. Pena may think that her win tonight was enough to land her the biggest fight available to her. However, judging from Nunes’ response. It seems that it may be a while before this fight ever takes place.
