Amanda nunes made news when she revealed, after leaving 'American Top Team', that she felt passed over by Kayla harrison at the gym. Now, it was the turn of the PFL lightweight champion (up to 70,3kg) to speak out. The North American avoided polemicizing in her version and chose to thank her for the time they trained together.
“I have nothing negative to say about Amanda. She was a great teammate, I really enjoyed the time we spent training together. I really enjoyed learning from her, growing alongside her, helping each other. If that's how she felt, I feel bad. I have always tried to be honest and respectful of my desires and goals. I never shied away from it or tried to fake it,” Harrison said in an interview with 'MMA fighting'.
