On July 31, Amanda “The Lioness” Nunes will have her anticipated rematch against bantamweight champion Julianna Pena. In a new interview with Laura Sanko, Nunes revealed a important key to succeed in the upcoming title bout at UFC 277.
The former bantamweight queen literally lives in the gym.
“To make everything easier, upstairs I have a place to rest. I don’t need to go back home, drive home then go back to the gym,” Nunes said. “When I’m done with my training in the morning, I stay in my studio. I have a very nice setup with a kitchen, living room for rest, we have a pretty comfortable area in the gym to stay right after training then jumping into the next class. Everything to get better and stronger for the next fight.”

Amanda Nunes is back in her old training rhythm
On UFC 269 in December last year, Amanda Nunes lost her bantamweight title to Julianna Pena. Before the tough loss, “The Lioness” pretty much looked unstoppable for many years, in both bantamweight and featherweight. Now she is back in her old training rhythm again.
“I’ve pretty much kept the same type of schedule I used to have when I became a champion, when I became a double champion,” Nunes told Sanko.
