Former UFC women’s bantamweight champion Amanda Nunes wants to clarify a few things about her first defeat in the past seven years. After losing her title to Julianna Pena a UFC 269, the ‘Lioness’ feels like she must explain what happened in the period before the match that led to such a disastrous performance.
In an interview with Ag Fight, Nunes explained that injuries, a case of COVID-19 and fight cancellations did not allow her to prepare properly for the fight at UFC 269. Although she had many reasons to withdraw from the fight, Amanda preferred to fight on anyway.
