Nina Nunes didn’t follow wife Amanda in split from ATT, will train there ‘until I finish my career’

BAD MMA News — Wed, 10 Aug 2022 21:19:25 +0000

SAN DIEGO – Nina Nunes is still training at American Top Team despite her wife Amanda Nunes having a well-documented divorce from the gym. Following an upset loss to Julianna Peña at UFC 269 in December, Amanda parted ways with her longtime home at ATT in Coconut Creek, Fla., in favor of starting her own facility just a short drive away. That decision seemed to pay off for her after gaining revenge on Peña in the rematch at UFC 277 in July. Nina (10-7 MMA, 4-4 UFC), who is set to meet Cynthia Calvillo (9-4-1 MMA, 6-4-1 UFC) on Saturday’s UFC on ESPN 41 card, opted against following suit. Her history with ATT goes back much further than Amanda’s, and Nina said she was able to allocate her time and maximize the conditions of working in multiple gyms
