Amanda Nunes vows to bring something "crazy" for UFC 289 title fight

UFC champion Amanda Nunes could switch up her style again when she faces Irene Aldana this Saturday.

Nunes, 35, surprised fans by fighting in a southpaw stance for the entirety of her rematch against Julianna Pena last July. 'The Lioness' dominated Pena to win back her women's bantamweight title having lost it to her rival in a shocking upset the year prior. Nunes admitted that she could surprise fans again with something new against top contender Aldana in Vancouver, Canada.

"I always wait for the last minute to decide to do things," Nunes told Mirror Fighting. "My mind is crazy and I always bring something the day of the fight, so I'm excited for you guys to see what I'm going to bring. Obviously, I always think about something new but we never know until the fight starts, so I'm excited about that."
