Just like Cris Cyborg , Amanda Nunes was not at all impressed with Ronda Rousey 's return to MMA. Last Saturday (16), in California (USA), the UFC Hall of Famer made short work of Gina Carano and finished her in an incredible 17 seconds in the main fight of the first MMA event on Netflix. Calm, the 'Lioness' adopted a short and sharp style when reacting to the fight between the veterans.
On her official 'X' account, Amanda didn't post a single word, simply posting a rather unenthusiastic emoji, implying that she didn't feel threatened by the level shown by the American. On Netflix, Ronda, who last fought in 2016, ignored her long period of inactivity and was lethal, just like in the old days.

In any case, the Brazilian, focused on her return to the UFC, which should happen this season against Kayla Harrison , seemed unconcerned if her eternal rival changes her mind and decides to continue competing. It's also worth remembering that Amanda and Ronda faced each other in the UFC, with the former knocking her out in 48 seconds in 2016.
