LAS VEGAS — UFC president Dana White doesn’t want to see featherweight and bantamweight champion Amanda Nunes retire. After all, never before has the promotion seen a champ-champ continue to mow down opponents while retaining both belts. And Nunes’ one-sided victory over Felicia Spencer in defense of her 145-pound title in the main event of UFC 250 was a demonstrative statement Nunes remains well in her prime. “I hope she doesn’t (retire),” White told reporters, including MMA Junkie, following Friday’s UFC on ESPN 11 weigh-ins at the UFC APEX. “She’s one of my favorite people ever, and coming off the performance that she put on, I think that the beautiful thing was she came out of the (Germaine) de Randamie fight and everybody was like ‘she looked human,’ this, that, and all the critics were all over her. “She fought arguably the best female striker of all time, beat her, and she looked human in that fight, and then she came out and put a statement on her last performance, she looked incredible and put on an absolute clinic against one of the toughest women I’ve ever seen in my life.
