UFC really aren't doing enough to promote the relationship between these two. Nunes came to USA with nothing but a dream to become a fighter, she was living and sleeping in a GYM. Nina used to train at the gym and brought her to her family home just to give her a place to stay until she can take care for herself. Those 2 fell in love, Nunes became a Champion, they have moved in together. That's just from the little I've heard them talk about but there is obviously more, that is a great documentary that the UFC could be pushing out there. Especially for a female fighter with KO power, which is rare, she is knocking girls out inside 1 round it's crazy.

[@abmk2193]

Boy I've got good news for you

[@mmanoob1592]

I really don't get the hate at all, which will make Amandas KO win even sweeter.

[@tdb4763]

This aged well

[@mmaart1309]

@@tdb4763 what KO? Lol she lost that fight

[@noahgrobben2830]

Whoever says Amanda was scared of Valentina is so stupid, she already beat her.

[@mcfly531]

Sounds like she is gonna pull out of this next fight again. I really don't see this fight happening on sept 9

[@nextgen8888]

My initial response was pretty much that she was scared. After learning that she actually made the weight and still pulled out literally the day of, makes me think that she must have been compromised. Having had sinusitis when I was a kid I can definitely relate. If it was anything like what I've experienced, even though your body still works fine, the pressure inside your head is constant. Mine was so bad that even putting my head particular angles would cause intense headaches that would only be marginally relieved when I went back to other positions. Having a flare up the day of the fight could definitely make the difference. She very well could have been comprised by double digit percentages. I'll give her a pass on this one.

[@jupitersworld244]

Amanda has had hundreds of fights/sparing matches I think she’s over the fear! If she not 100% why fight look what happened with her and Pena

[@elderassassin9673]

lol the thumb nail.

[@ocelotrevs]

I don't understand how anyone would say Nunes was scared of someone she already beat. If she fought and lost the first thing White would come out with is that she never should have fought in the first place.

[@kingtutt880]

Because now it's a 5 round fight, for the belt, and many people would say Shevchenko was definitely starting to beat her up, and would've finished her if it was a 5 round fight. Common sense. bud.

[@GunnysGoon]

I agree these trolls are unbareable, hope they go back to watching wwe

[@MrBB-mw6vy]

let me guess your skin color.....pink?

[@kingtutt880]

i do too. Pain turns me on.

[@tdb4763]

To be fair. Schvenco got robbed

[@charmedangel3]

Where is his interview with Valentina?

[@plexiun7325]

Damn, these fans are ruthless!

[@dannyurka4301]

Dana and ufc never forgave nunez for ruining rondas carreer

[@realistbob7178]

lets see if she shows up

[@MOET02]

Nina helping Amanda to stick to the script......#WARVALENTINA

[@prakulrathnakar]

Valentina FTW!!

[@realistbob7178]

amanda is weird these days

[@tdb4763]

How, ?

[@Claudio.Brito93]

Seems legit... next topic

[@fatgsp223]

Before pulling out of 213, I wore the strap. Now, Nina wears the strap. - Amanda Nunes

[@ChronicTHCBlaze]

God damn! 😂

[@Bmartinez1981ca]

I dont think there is a video of amanda nunes without her girlfriend lurking around. EVERY video of nunes.

[@chinenyeezechukwu6725]

Same goes to Amanda, she's always lurking around her girlfriend too....they both love themselves and wouldn't want anyone to snatch them from themselves ok

[@LahLahMan]

"If she dies, she dies" Valentina Shevchenko

[@david.pacheco]

I think she had a bad weight cut and wasn't recovering from it like she wanted and used having sinusitis as an excuse to not fight. If I remember correctly she was eating cake during fight week just like Nurmagomedov when he was supposed to fight Ferguson.

[@MOET02]

She says she knew the ufc would reschedule, if she needed more time it would be possible....so in her mind she knew she had a way out to get more time and she did just that smh

[@Ernestlai888]

Get the balloon surgery two months ago? how about after the Rhonda fight? I dont get it.

[@buzzment1]

Whats Jodie Foster doing there?😆

[@cbrown2578]

Haha she got her girlfriend to deliver the alibi. Classic.

[@r.w.6325]

cbrown2578 girlfriend is sketchy too. Idk wierd gives all around. Not feeling these chicks. Holly, miesha, ronda, cyborg, valentina they all have fierce vibes these chicks strike me as schemers. Just my oppinion

[@toonses4300]

her girlfriend is a loser. follows Amanda everywhere. depend on Amanda for food, shelter and clothing.

[@samcooke343]

Her girlfriend is a native English speaker so naturally is able to recount the events far more articulately and accurately. Not everything is a conspiracy.

[@dhdireitoalves8947]

She speaks english better and it is serious topic, that is why amanda went with her

[@1punch_man]

Cleared can mean anything lol

[@poogapooga3176]

So she fought Ronda because she wanted ........a big payday? that's my interpretation.

[@realistbob7178]

man! the excuse and rambling is a little to much

[@raiderrichard7291]

Wait, who is Butch in this relationship?

[@hildabryant6237]

All is forgiven Amanda .. just go out there and show the world who the best 135 pounder is .. I like the Lioness by 4th round TKO.

[@anthony_lev]

"Everyone that knows her, knows her" - Nina "The Answer" Ansaroff

[@VINO9411]

NINA ANSAROFF is getting the Sausage on the side!

[@holeindanssock156]

Who takes the bottom position every night though?

[@tdb4763]

N I N A. she's a walking mat

[@estreladodia8763]

and still

[@burlhorse61]

why does Nina have to speak for her??she's not the champion ffs

[@VladimirPigeon]

burlhorse89 Because she can speak better english and Nunez broken english could of came off bad

[@playmaker9831]

burlhorse89 I seen Amanda do interviews by herself and can speak pretty decent English. That gf of hers just wanna hog up her spotlight and get more attention. The problem is no one cares so she should go sit her ass down somewhere.

[@burlhorse61]

Amanda can actually speak english-it might be broken but i prefer to hear what she thinks

[@kforce2011]

Amanda's title reign will not last long with all these excusing tendencies. You dont pull out of a fight because your not feeling well mentally on the day. If this fights too much to handle give up the belt simple.

[@allybaapp1053]

The UFC 'doctor'. lol. Call em Dr Clear.

[@stedunn563]

What is it with Brazilians and pulling out of fights, and peds? In mma they are by far the worse.

[@ldnxbars4264]

i lost respect for Nunes when she pulled out of 213...

[@wrldw4r]

LDNXBARS 2013?

[@julianrojas9418]

There was a reason if a fighter is having sinus issues and constant head aches and what makes you think she can take a punch no matter what people say she didn’t pull out the fight because she wanted to avoid the fight. She came back and beat her

[@Hamzoloo]

She was eating that raw fish and got sick

[@MoizAudio]

forfeit

[@carsonnewton3899]

🔥 strong fight 2:00 🥊 👇 👇 👇 👇❤

[@realistbob7178]

she dosent seem right

[@isDatBoi]

Amanda Nunes said she want a baby and build a family...

[@frostywasp1743]

dat boi true. I believe around that time she was planning on defending the title a few times, then retiring.

[@killerkakaz]

Ew man

[@shogunjobu]

Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah

[@sugarraynay4153]

Can Amanda answer her own questions, back off Nina

[@noinim]

Liars.

[@MrBB-mw6vy]

She's not getting surgery before the fight so she can mask the other steroids she takes and have an exemption for the ones to the nose...even the way Nina was speaking about it and Amanda looked at her...sketchy...she'll pop before the fight...MARK MY WORDS!

[@MrBB-mw6vy]

I got no teeth

[@stcn1460]

B B Nunes will need all the steroids she can get after schevchenko rearranges her face.

[@javierleyva8896]

She should be embarrassed to talk, just don't talk at all

[@armandogarcia3226]

Us Ufc fans need to be more loyal to our fighters. We loved her on her last fight. Now we turned on her for been sick and pulling out the fight. I'm going for Valentina but still love and support Nunes. Just my opinion tc god bless .

[@maryf720]

DEVIL EGGS It's not as though she's not given people reason to turn on her though, why run away from the challenger the day of the fight? It's inexcusable, no matter what she accomplished before it.

[@realistbob7178]

these 2 make me laugh,,,seems the girlfriend knows how she is feeling more then her

[@realistbob7178]

sounds like fear and anxiety ...i still think she will pull out,,its all over hear face

[@jjguerrero14]

There was no relief after the weigh-ins possibly because she was nervous or scared?

[@maryf720]

Sergio Guerrero there was no relief cause she was hoping she'd miss weight and not have to fight Valentina

[@cattalkbmx]

Born in sin, come right in.

[@akatoomb8970]

lol. steroids! She just admitted her guilt. She didn't show up because she new she was positive for steroids...

[@realistbob7178]

Bla Bla Bla

[@Vaisero]

english is not my first languange, but how is her english still so bad?! she msut not even try to improve, damn, her girlfriend speaks it! sad, very sad. xD

[@burlhorse61]

at least she's trying-what other language do u speak??

[@wolf2109]

Vaisero maybe bcuz she has friends and family that she hangs around more that are from where she is so she's not practicing her English that much,only when she trains

[@supershero4351]

blah blah blah badass has a sinus condition..........give me a break........next fight will be cancelled due to hangnail.

[@realistbob7178]

I cant stand these to women,,,,Go Valentina a true fighter and great beauty....Lies are the only thing that comes out of nunes mouth....

[@mdharvard]

Nunes 👎👎 was just not ready to fight Valentina Shevchenko.

[@shogunjobu]

Didn't even watch it all...not supporting Ariel or Amanda

[@Maestro4862]

cool story bro

[@wolf2109]

Joseph Doherty why cuz he's canadian??

[@DJetLifeBanks]
