Ketlen Vieira calls for title shot against Amanda Nunes in Brazil: ‘There’s no option than fight with me’

Ketlen Vieira thinks she should be next in line for newly crowned bantamweight champion Amanda Nunes.

Nunes (22-5 MMA, 15-2 UFC) reclaimed the 135-pound title when she battered a tough Julianna Peña in Saturday’s UFC 277 main event at American Airlines Arena in Dallas and avenged her upset loss at UFC 269.
