Amanda Nunes is out of the UFC 249 match card
Amanda Nunes is reigning, defending, undisputed women's champion in the bantamweight and featherweight divisions. She is the first woman to become a two-division UFC champion and third person to hold titles in two weight classes simultaneously. She is a nightmare to WWE'S trained killers Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler.
Amanda Nunes was scheduled to fight Felicia Spencer on May 9, UFC 249 and earlier today it was confirmed that she was out of this card because of lack of practice. Now there is no doubt, one of the top champions will be out on May 9. Now we have to wait until June for this match and Amanda Nunes is the favorite for most people
On May 9, Amanda is scheduled to defend her UFC's women's featherweight title against Felicia Spencer. But Dan Lambert, Amanda Nunes' agent, confirmed to ESPN that she won't defend her title. Amanda Nunes also earlier mentioned that the date was given too soon and she is unable to train in this difficult time.
Amanda said that she doesn't think this is the right time for her to fight. Nunes explained that when this global pandemic ends, that will be the right time to find. She said that it may take around June but no one can say what may happen. Amanda Nunes confirmed that she didn't have a full training camp due to COVID 19. Dan Lambert, Amanda Nunes agent, also said that Amanda Nunes had an injury that wasn't completely healed.
Felicia Spencer, Amanda Nunes' opponent, confirmed that she received a message from UFC officials that she should wait until June to face Amanda Nunes. Felicia Spencer is not an easy opponent. She lost only to Cris Cyborg at UFC 240. For a note, Amanda Nunes defeated Cris Cyborg at UFC 232 and they planned for a rematch which ultimately didn't happen and Cris joined Bellator later due to work pressure in UFC.
The Lioness Amanda Nunes shared her problems in training. She said that It's not many people, just her and a couple of people that are going to be on the same card as hers. She added that everyone has a separate training and she does training with her coach, one on one. She keeps in shape like that. She goes to the gym only once in the morning and does everything. And in the current situation, she is unable to go to the gym and get trained by her coach which made her drop the match on May 9.
