Follow Us
Post her recent loss against Julianna Peña at UFC 269, Amanda Nunes seems to have made big changes around her training. The fighter has now made the decision to leave American Top Team, i.e. the gym she joined back in 2014.
Nunes initially trained at MMA Masters. However, after her T/KO loss against Cat Zingano at UFC 178, she decided to join ATT, which is located in Coconut Creek, Florida. Now that she has lost a fight while training under ATT, it looks like ‘The Lioness’ wants to move on to a much better training camp.

The 33-year-old’s wife, UFC strawweight Nina Ansaroff, will also thus part ways with the team. Details about the name and location of their gym have not yet been disclosed. Training in a gym built around Nunes’ needs would perhaps play a huge role in helping her recapture the bantamweight title.

While Nunes might have lost her title to Peña, she remains the champion at the UFC women’s featherweight division. The 21-5-0 record holder is widely regarded as one of the best female MMA fighters in the world. Thus, her setback was a tremendous shock for everyone. However, many are of the opinion that in a second fight with Peña, Nunes would emerge as the winner.
Will Amanda Nunes and Julianna Peña fight again?
During their first bout, Nunes got submitted in the second round. Many criticized her stamina because ‘The Lioness’ looked tired in the second round, despite being dominant in the first round.

However, both the fighters are up for a rematch. ‘The Venezuelan Vixen’ is confident that she will defend her title against Nunes. UFC President Dana White, too, wants another fight to take place.
