Amanda Nunes used to train among the top-tier MMA fighters in the American Top Team gym. However, after her shocking loss to Julianna Pena at UFC 269, the Brazilian announced she won’t be a part of ATT anymore. This news upset two-time Olympic gold medalist Kayla Harrison.

While in talks with Danny Segura of MMA Junkie, Harrison expressed her thoughts on ‘The Lioness’ Nunes leaving the gym.

She said, “You don’t really very often get two such high-level competitors, I think, pushing each other like that. Like I’m just really blessed that I had that for the time that I did.”
