UFC two-weight champion Amanda Nunes of Brazil said that despite her decision to end her career, she will forever remain a true champion.
I’m going to have my belt at home with me. That’s going to be the fake one. It’s going to be fake forever. Whoever gets the belt now, it’s going to be just, like, pretending to have it.
