Amanda Nunes Says She’s the Greatest Women’s MMA Fighter of All-Time After UFC 232 Win

Amanda Nunes spoke last night following her win over Cris Cyborg at UFC 232 about the win, the show’s move to Los Angeles and more. Highlights are below per MMAjunkie:

On being happy for the show’s move from Las Vegas to Los Angeles: “When I was in Vegas, my sinusitis was pretty bad. The whole week, I look at (fiance and fellow UFC fighter Nina Ansaroff) like, ‘This is crazy. Again, no. We have to do something about that. We have to talk to USADA to see a medicine, because I can’t fight like that.’ My head was crazy. Then, when I wake up, the fight is going to move to L.A. I have to go to a better climate, you know? When I saw that, I say like ’Everything is in my favor.’ Even that. Like, move the whole card? This is amazing. And I was very happy.”

On the key moment of the fight: “When she connected, that I felt it, I thought right away, ‘Now, I’m going to do my strategy because nothing stops me.’ If her best punch didn’t stop me, nothing is going to stop me here now.”

On what she told Cyborg after the fight: “I told Cris that I have a lot of respect for her. For her work, for everything she did for the division. Everything she said throughout the road to the fight – for me, I’ve forgotten it. I’m not taking anything with me. What’s done is done. It’s all in the past. Our friendship, the respect I had for Cris remains. I wanted to tell her that. That it even helped to promote the fight in a way, because fans like it, too. But I made it very clear for her: I’ve forgotten everything. From now on, wherever I meet you, respect will prevail.”

On going in as the underdog against Cyborg: “It helps me a lot, fighting like this. I like fighting like this, with people against me. That’s what strengthens me. Proving, to myself, that I can. Tonight, that’s what it was about: Proving to myself and to everyone, at the same time, that I’m the best in the world. The best of all time. That I went into history. And, from now on, that’s how it’s going to be. And whomever wants to be against me, so be it. That’s how I answer.”

On if she sees herself as the greatest fighter in women’s MMA: “Without a doubt, the greatest of all time.”
