Amanda Nunes Biography
The Lioness

Considered by nearly everyone to be the greatest fighter in the history of women’s mixed martial arts, there is hardly a notable name Nunes hasn’t fought – and defeated. At the point where Nunes retired in 2023, she had defeated every woman to have held UFC gold at featherweight or bantamweight. Nunes has since ended her retirement and plans to again march to the top of the sport.
