Amanda Nunes is preparing to take on Julianna Pena at UFC 269 on Saturday. The matchup is a fresh one, but it's not one that many seem to agree with.

The UFC champion has been taking certain names more than once, and the list of fresh contenders is fading. The Brazilian is hoping for a change.

Amanda Nunes has one big demand from the UFC, and it's one that fans have been clamoring for over time. She wants to see some fresh faces in the cage!

“I think we should go out of the mix.” Nunes told Esporte Espetacular. “Some girls have been fighting for a while now, they’re not even top 10 or top 5. They need to have their shots, too. I don’t pick opponents. If I have to fight Germaine, Holly or anyone, I will, but I think the fans want something new. You have to mix things up. Make some girls face each other, bring some girls who are the bottom of the division, so it doesn’t look so stale like it is.”

“I’m always ready to give the fans what they want.” Nunes continued. “A knockout or a submission, a high-paced fight. I think the UFC should shake things up in the division. Look for new talent and maybe bring more girls from other promotions. That’s what we’re waiting for.”

Julianna Pena is a fresh matchup for the champion but not a fresh face in the UFC. Amanda Nunes has known about her for a long time.

“Julianna is an opponent I’ve known ever since the TUF days, which she won. I really know her style. She’s really close with Miesha Tate and they have the same of style of fighting, but I think Julianna is even more of a grinder. We used a little bit of my camp for Tate for this Julianna fight, but with a bit more precision.”

“I’m really looking forward to it, but at the same time I’m keeping my feet on the ground. I know everyone who walks into that cage will do their best to win. She has nothing to lose. I’m the champion and she’s going to come at me to take my belt. I just need to be really sharp so I can finish the fight at the right moment.”

UFC 269 will see Amanda Nunes defend her UFC bantamweight title against Julianna Pena. The fight will be interesting as both women have been jawing at each other for weeks.
