UFC champion Amanda Nunes was 'weirded out' by Kayla Harrison's fight call-outs

UFC champion Amanda Nunes has revealed Kayla's Harrison "weird" calls to fight her made the decision to leave her longtime gym easier.

Nunes left American Top Team just two months after her bantamweight title loss to Julianna Pena at UFC 269. The Brazilian, who still holds the women's featherweight belt, looks to reclaim her 135lb against Pena in their second meeting at UFC 277 this Saturday. Nunes has since started up her own gym in Florida since leaving ATT.

Two-time Olympic gold medalist and PFL champion Harrison was training alongside Nunes before she left the gym, with Harrison welcoming a potential fight between the pair. Nunes admitted that she found Harrison's approcah to the potential fight "weird" and that it made her decision to leave her old gym a lot easier.
