Coach: Amanda Nunes’ cardio will be ‘even better’ at featherweight

Amanda Nunes will compete as a featherweight for the first time since 2011 when she attempts to become the first women to win belts in multiple weight classes in the UFC. To achieve that, she’s had to change a few aspects of her training routine.

The UFC bantamweight queen is slated to face 145-pound champion Cris Cyborg at UFC 232 in Las Vegas, NV, on Dec. 29 — and Everton Bittar Oliveira, one of American Top Team’s strength and conditioning coaches, says Nunes’ physical preparation will be “completely different” this time around compared to her 10 previous UFC bouts.
