UFC champ Nunes: 'I know if Rousey is coming back, I'm going to keep the championship'

UFC women's bantamweight champion Amanda Nunes has no issue if she has to fight Julianna Pena or Valentina Shevchenko in her first title defense', but she's eyeing Ronda Rousey as her next opponent.

The UFC's women's 135 lbs division has been in a constant state of change over the past few months. Four women have held the championship belt from the night of UFC 193 to UFC 200: Ronda Rousey, Holly Holm, Miesha Tate, and Amanda Nunes. The latest title fight saw Nunes dominate and then submit Tate in the UFC 200 main event, while Holly Holm would lose to Valentina Shevchenko just two weeks later.
