Present in the 'last act' of Amanda nunes As a professional in MMA, Jon Anki, one of Ultimate's main commentators, narrated an exciting episode with the 'Lioness'. In an interview with 'MMA Fighting', the analyst described the feeling of having been remembered by the Brazilian moments after the announcement of the 'Leoa's' retirement in the UFC 289. The professional recalled the scene in which he receives a kiss on the forehead from the fighter.

“It meant everything to me. She and I are close, we live in South Florida. I was able to go to your new gym,'The Lioness Studio', in the week leading up to the fight (against Irene aldana). I went to watch her train and instead we spent two and a half hours talking. She didn't shed a drop of sweat. It was a very special moment for me. (…) Kissing me on the forehead was basically her thanking me. She moved me in the Octagon. We were able to share a moment. However, she was the main star,” said Anik.
