Amanda Nunes expected more trash talk from Julianna Peña on TUF 30: ‘I’m in front of you now, open your mouth’

The two contenders that mentor a time of The Ultimate Fighter as a rule have some degree of ill will that make show for the unscripted television show. Amanda Nunes expected a few warmed connections with the lady that ousted her, UFC bantamweight champion Julianna Peña, when offered an instructing spot on TUF 30.

All things being equal, all the Brazilian heard was quietness.

Talking as of late on MMA Fighting webcast Trocação Franca, Nunes conceded shock with Peña's difference in position contrasted with her web-based entertainment posts and meetings, when she proceeded to refer to Nunes as "high-upkeep".

"Since Julianna was gabbing, being the rubbish talker she is, I figured she would truly carry that to TUF, yet it took an unexpected turn," said Nunes, who will rematch Peña at UFC 277 on July 30 in Dallas.

"She was cool, totally not the same as who she truly is. I couldn't say whether she was faking it since it would air on TV and she doesn't need awful exposure. She's excessively, and everything's brimming with Julianna as of now - suppose she's the way she [really] is on TUF. I figure it might be quite horrible for her, so I think she kept down a smidgen."

"The Lioness" likewise trusts that gathering with your previous and future rival consistently — particularly one that is viewed as perhaps the best warrior ever — made Peña change her tone.

"I couldn't say whether she was accustomed to seeing me constantly and that is the reason she slowed down that stuff," Nunes said. "I even told her, 'Don't you talk on the web? I'm before you currently, open your mouth.' But it was cool. [Normally] I don't blabber however I asked her, 'What's happening?' That's what's genuinely going on with Tuf, it's a reality [show] and individuals need show.

"I even attempted to jab her a tad to check whether I could get something out of her, yet didn't get a lot. … I didn't see quite a bit of it. I truly expected something totally not the same as what she was on the show."

Of the multitude of things Peña has said before, Nunes concurs with her opponent when she let The Schmo know that Nunes is the boss "of a division of one individual," alluding to the featherweight class and its absence of true rankings. That doesn't mean, in any case, that Nunes isn't anticipating proceeding to protect that title from here on out, as well as the bantamweight belt, in the event that she's ready to retake it at UFC 277.

"The division truly is little and has serious room for improvement and venture," Nunes said of the 145-pound class. "In any case, these are the difficulties introduced to me. It was a test to confront Cris [Cyborg] for the [featherweight] belt and I acknowledged and it worked, I became champion. Regardless of whether the division exists, I became boss of that division.

"The UFC will in any case put me to battle at that heavier weight class. There was a battle as of late with Norma [Dumont and Macy Chiasson]. That young lady [Chiasson] can be a future rival. It's as yet a division and it's continuing on paying little mind to [having only] one, two, three competitors. Significantly, we're having battles. I keep being the hero and will keep shielding it."

In the wake of playing with retirement before and examining a likely move to soccer, Nunes said that horrible the 135-pound title to Peña got a fire going inside her.

"That was my most memorable belt and I truly need it back," Nunes said. "That misfortune persuaded me a ton. Rather than demotivate me, it truly infused fire in me and made me reconsider a ton of things and roll out a few improvements in my day to day existence. I'll progress forward with this energy. I'll move to the music that plays and won't let any [belt] do without a response.

"My affection for the game talks stronger. I love all that encompasses MMA. It's in every case difficult for somebody to resign, particularly thriving. This rematch will be another extraordinary accomplishment. I'll get this belt back, for sure, and it will be memorable. That is the very thing that makes me so captivated about this game."

Done preparing at American Top Team and encompassed by another gathering of mentors in Florida, Nunes turns 34 not long from now and "still brings a ton to the table to the game."

"For reasons unknown I needed to lose that evening, and for the mix-ups I made in my camp and during the battle," Nunes said, "Assuming I truly was 100% and preparing great, that battle would be mine and I would go on with my belt. However, for my choices and being difficult now and again, [I lost].

"Everyone goes through that. Some of the time we need to get beat until we learn it, and that is what has been going on with me. I committed an error that cost me the belt, and presently we'll fight to get it back."
