Morning Report | Amanda Nunes thinks Ronda Rousey still refuses to discuss UFC 207 loss: ‘She never say my name’

Nunes said she was not expecting a call for a rematch with Rousey any time soon, especially with Rousey appearing to act as if their meeting never happened. “She never say my name,” Nunes said, underlining how little public acknowledgment she believes has come from the former opponent.

That silence keeps UFC 207 in the background of any discussion involving the two women. For Nunes, the memory of that fight clearly remains part of her story, even if she thinks Rousey would rather leave it untouched. In combat sports, that kind of unresolved history can linger long after the final bell, shaping how fans talk about both fighters.

Instead of a Rousey rematch, Nunes will be back in action this Saturday after a three-year retirement. She is set to challenge bantamweight champion Kayla Harrison in the co-main event of UFC 334 at Madison Square Garden in New York.

A return like that always carries extra weight. Long layoffs can change the rhythm of a fighter’s timing, conditioning and composure, while championship bouts leave no room for a slow start or a cautious readjustment.

For Nunes, the immediate question is not whether Rousey will finally address UFC 207, but whether she can make the kind of comeback that matters most inside the cage. For Harrison, the task is to hold onto the belt against one of the most recognized names in the sport.
