“When I was 18 years old, I was living in the gym and training every day, even Sundays,” she says in the video. “When you have a dream, you have to follow it and train hard.”

Nunes is one of a handful of athletes chosen for this year’s body issue. Joining her are WNBA star Liz Cambage, the Philadelphia Eagles offensive line, two-time U.S. Open and PGA Championship winner Brooks Koepka and Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich, among others.

“A lot of fans talk about this, ‘Why doesn’t UFC show more Amanda?’ if they don’t promote me for some reason. But now I feel like I proved a point: I’m the best in this game. You guys have to look at me. Look at me,” she said in July. “And I feel like, eventually they are going to, starting slowly. Me and Dana, we have a very good relationship, and we can talk. We can really, like, discuss my future. I feel like you have to see those things. Like, you should be able to sit down, discuss the future. Why do you not give opportunities to this person to grow more? Grow with them, give a chance, give opportunity.”

Nunes is coming off a win over former bantamweight champion Holly Holm and is gearing up for anther defense of her 135 pound title agaisnt former featherweight champion Germaine de Randamie at UFC 245.

This is not the first UFC fighter to be featured in the ESPN Body issue. Conor McGregor and Michelle Waterson have also been featured.
