Currently, Amanda Nunes is both the UFC Bantamweight and the UFC Featherweight Champion. She is the only female UFC fighter to ever be a two-division UFC Champion in their career. I had the chance to ask her a few questions ahead of her fight against Holly Holm.
She talked about her opponent at UFC 239, Holly Holm, and a possible rematch against Cris Cyborg and more.
Tune in to UFC 239 in India Live on Sony Ten 2 and Sony Ten 2 HD at 7:30 AM on the 7th of July.
Q: What is your mind like ahead of this fight against Holly Holm?
AN: My mind is on the fight, I pretty much put my whole life on this game. It isn’t anything new for me. I just step in the gym, get my strategy together for Holly and train every day and be excited. I love to feel this. This is something that I miss when I’m not doing it. I love the fight, the preparation to line up to the fight. I love the feel, I love the walking-in the stage with all the fans yelling. I love the excitement to step in the UFC cage. I’m excited, definitely.
Q: There has been a lot of talk about a rematch with Cris Cyborg. Do you think that’s a fight we might see in the future?
AN: It was supposed to be right after Holly’s fight, but she is facing another girl. I feel like she always dominated everyone on the planet, so I was very happy to beat her and I am excited to do it again.
Q: What does it feel like to be the only woman to have held titles in two divisions at the same?
AN: It’s a dream come true. It is amazing.
Q: Other than your time in the Octagon, what is something you do in your free time?
AN: Keep normal. When I’m not in the gym, I go out, I play, whatever. I do everything normally, I live my life the same.
