Speaking to Daniel Cormier at the post fight press conference, Nunes said:

“As a fighter, I think I’ve done what I wanted to. It started as a hobby. I got all the way here. I’m going to focus on coaching and bringing up those girls that are struggling right now.”

Nunes went on to say that she and her wife, Amanda Nunes, would like to grow their family, the two currently have a daughter, Raegan.
