UFC 259’s Amanda Nunes has been ‘dropping guys’ in training, claims Dana White

Amanda Nunes is looking the best she’s ever looked ahead of her featherweight title defense against Megan Anderson at UFC 259, claims UFC president Dana White.

The word on the street is that Nunes has been dropping her male sparring partners in training camp and that she has been training like an ‘absolute savage’.

“She’s one of my all-time favorites,” White told Jim Rome ahead of Amanda Nunes’ title defense in the UFC 259 co-main event (via MMAFighting). “She doesn’t care who she’s fighting, she’ll fight anybody. One of the sweetest people that you’ll ever meet, very, very easy to deal with, but once she steps inside the octagon, she’s an absolute savage.
