“When I signed the contract for this fight (the decision was already made). I tried to hide it from you all week, but it seems like you already knew. I didn't want to focus on that. I wanted to focus on the fight and not talk about retirement all the time. Even though I was saying, imagine if I had announced it, it would have been all about that. But, yes, I knew it all along,” he said.
Amanda nunes leaves the sport as the greatest fighter in MMA history. Over her 15-year career, the Bahian woman won two UFC belts, with six defenses at bantamweight (up to 61,2kg) and two at featherweight (up to 65,7kg).
