“I’m definitely very excited for this fight. It’s going to be interesting to see how Kayla harrison “She deals with Amanda’s striking. I think that’s the big question, but Kayla has been showing herself to be getting better and better on the feet. It’ll be interesting to see if she can get her hands on Amanda, but Amanda also has great jiu-jitsu and is super strong,” said the former champion.

Rose namajunas hesitated to make a prediction for the eventual confrontation, but admitted that she feels slightly inclined to root for the North American due to her religious identification.

“A guess? I don’t know if I have one. I love them both, but Kayla harrison made me a big fan of hers. The way she represents faith in Jesus, how she spreads the word. I'm a little biased when it comes to that, so I'm going to root for her, but Amanda nunes is obviously the biggest one of all, so yes, I will be watching,” he concluded.
