Coach Conan Silveira describes Amanda Nunes’ power: ‘She hits like a man’

Although Amanda Nunes shocked the world with her 51-second knockout of Cris Cyborg in the co-main event of UFC 232, American Top Team coach Conan Silveira was not surprised by the dramatic conclusion to the featherweight title bout.

Nunes has been heralded as the greatest female MMA fighter of all time on the back of the emphatic title capture and Silveira is adamant that he didn’t see the fight going any other way.

“I knew that we were leaving that night with the belt,” Silveira told Luke Thomas on the latest episode of The MMA Hour.
