Former two-division champion Amanda Nunes is dismissing the progress of reigning UFC bantamweight champion Kayla Harrison ahead of their high-profile clash at UFC 334. The two fighters share a significant history, having trained together at American Top Team during the period when Nunes held both the 135 and 145-pound titles. Speaking on their upcoming matchup, Nunes expressed confidence in her preparation and stated that she believes Harrison continues to struggle with the same technical errors that were evident during their previous training sessions.
