Amanda Nunes will be fighting against Ronda Rousey in the highly anticipated UFC 207 match tonight and her biggest support is definitely her girlfriend Nina Ansaroff!
The 28-year-old fighter became the first openly gay UFC champion earlier this year and she credits Nina, a fellow fighter, as the person who makes her a better competitor.
“It helps me to be calm because I know Nina understands,” Amanda told USA Today. “She knows everything that goes into being a fighter so I don’t have to explain why I am doing this or that. Sometimes getting ready to fight is a difficult time, but she makes it easy for me and I try to do the same for her.”
If you take a look at Nina‘s Instagram feed, you will see that she is constantly sending love and encouragement to Amanda. See her #WCW post from this week below!
