The two were previously scheduled for the canceled UFC 250 card set for Sao Paulo, and UFC president Dana White was hoping to re-book the fight as the third title fight on the new, stacked UFC 249 card.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mmanews\/amanda-nunes-pulls-out-of-may-9-fight-with-felicia-spencer-wants-a-full-training-camp\/\">At the time, reports indicated <\/a>that Nunes withdrew due to wanting a full training camp and not feeling comfortable to compete at the event during the coronavirus pandemic. According to her coach at ATT Silveira, though, that&#8217;s not the whole story. The veteran trainer told <a href=\"https:\/\/globoesporte.globo.com\/combate\/noticia\/treinador-fala-sobre-rotina-de-treinos-na-att-durante-pandemia-e-retorno-de-amanda-nunes.ghtml\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Combate.com<\/a> that Nunes endured an ankle injury in training and that led to her withdrawing from the bout.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Amanda had a small ankle injury, she preferred to stop and treat, rather than running, because we were at that stage where we didn&#8217;t know what would happen. We didn&#8217;t know if it would be May 9, where it was going to be, we had several questions and few answers,&#8221; Silveira said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In the training we were doing before we stopped, she got hurt and we didn&#8217;t want to force it. We prefer to stop and treat, for her to be ready, as she always has been, to return as soon as possible.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>While it&#8217;s unfortunate that Amanda Nunes will not be able to compete on the May 9 card, it doesn&#8217;t appear that the injury is serious and she should be able to return to the Octagon shortly. Her opponent Spencer has already been calling for the UFC to re-book the Nunes fight in June, so hopefully, the champ can quickly heal up her ankle and get back to training soon.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><i>This article first appeared on\u00a0<\/i><a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>BJPENN.com<\/i><\/span><\/a><i>\u00a0on 4\/29\/2020. <\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>American Top Team coach Conan Silveira says the reason Amanda Nunes can&#8217;t fight at UFC 249 is due to an ankle injury she suffered in training.
