5 fights that could be next for Amanda Nunes

#2. Amanda Nunes vs. Julianna Peña III

Julianna Peña has an MMA record of 11-5

Amanda Nunes showed little interest in a trilogy bout following her one-sided victory over Julianna Peña on Saturday. However, the combatants are now 1-1 against each other. Moreover, Amanda was unable to finish Peña, who submitted 'The Lioness' in their first bout. You can certainly make the argument that a trilogy fight is in order.

Despite Peña's loss, she did still have some moments of success and her toughness was on full display. She has also become one of the biggest names in the division and fans will likely have more interest in this bout than any other name in the bantamweight division.

#1. Amanda Nunes vs. Valentina Shevchenko III

Valentina Shevchenko has an MMA record of 23-3

While Amanda Nunes may be keen on a fight in the featherweight division, it could well be that her next opponent is the current flyweight champion.

Valentina Shevchenko has not yet stumbled since her last bout with 'The Lioness' in 2017, and given the controversial decision of that fight, a trilogy feels inevitable.

Above all else, this is arguably the biggest fight possible in women's MMA today.

Shevchenko has also repeatedly asked for a third bout in the past.

'The Bullet' had something to say post-UFC 277:

Shevchenko deserves all the praise for the incredible run she has managed to put together at flyweight, and a third shot at 'The Lioness' seems like a suitable reward after her losses in the first two fights.

Both women have looked a little more human than usual in recent times, so this may be the perfect opportunity to decide who the GOAT of female MMA is.
