Amanda Nunes not down for UFC interim belt: 'They just have to wait'
Amanda Nunes wants Kayla Harrison and her undisputed UFC title. Nothing else.
MIAMI – Amanda Nunes wants one thing only – Kayla Harrison and her undisputed UFC women's bantamweight title. Nothing else will do. Nunes, considered the greatest women's MMA fighter of all time, has zero interest in fighting for an interim belt, as she waits for Harrison to recover from her neck surgery.
Nunes and Harrison were supposed to fight in a massive fight for women's MMA at UFC 324 in January, but a neck injury sustained by Harrison delayed those plans. Harrison ended up having surgery, and fans have since been waiting for a rebooking. Some fighters have called for the implementation of an interim belt and, moreover, a fight with Nunes, but the former two-division UFC champ wants none of that.
"I know everybody want a chance, you know what I mean? " Nunes told MMA Junkie. "I know everybody want to fight me, and I know everybody want to get a paycheck.
I know that. But, it's like if you put it on the table, it's not how it is, though. I only fight for the (undisputed) belt, and I cannot make what they want, you know?
