‘I feel like I deserve to do what I want to do’ - Amanda Nunes talks leaving ATT, starting own camp

If Amanda Nunes wants to make anything clear about her departure from American Top Team it’s that she isn’t leaving the camp on bad terms, and that the decision wasn’t a reactive one due to her recent loss to Julianna Pena.

Speaking to the media at a press event for the upcoming season of the Ultimate Fighter - where she and Pena will take on rival coaching duties - Nunes talked about recent reports that she had left ATT and was opening her own training facility (transcript via MMA Fighting).

“Actually, I always wanted to open a private spot,” Nunes explained, adding that even during her time at ATT she always did her training at the facility separately.
