Considered by many to be the GOAT of women’s MMA, Amanda knows she will face a very different Harrison from the times they trained at American Top Team and therefore guarantees that she has been dedicating herself diligently to training for the past four months.

“It’s been two years since I retired and almost nothing has changed in the division. Practically only the champion has changed,” Nunes said in an interview with Evelyn Rodrigues.
Nunes’ training routine and personal life were the subject of the thrid edition of “Acesso Exclusivo” (Exclusive Access), a mini documentary posted last week on the UFC Brazil YouTube channel.
In the video, Amanda opened up about her personal life to her Brazilian fans. She showed her house, displayed the wall where she keeps her 11 championship belts and even revealed during a family lunch — alongside her wife, Nina Nunes, and daughters Reagan and Hazel — how she started dating her training partner at ATT and how their first kiss happened.
Building a Game Plan
Amanda also opened the doors of her personal gym “Lioness Studio” and allowed part of her session with training partners Priscila Cachoeira and Larissa Pacheco to be filmed, as well as a meeting with Din Thomas, who is responsible for breaking down her opponents since her fight with Miesha Tate at UFC 200.
“Din analyzes her in detail. Head, hips, feet,” said Nunes, who was promptly complimented by the coach.
“As a UFC analyst, I have 30 seconds to do an analysis. Now I’ve had four months. When Kayla is in her comfort zone, she’s very good at what she does. Our job is to help Amanda avoid getting to those points. Amanda is amazing in taking opponents out of their comfort zone,” Thomas said.
The video ends with Nina and Amanda taking the interviewer to visit one of their favorite places in Florida, in Everglades National Park.
