The first woman in UFC to win two titles, and to also hold them simultaneously, Amanda Lourenço Nunes is a Brazilian professional mixed martial artist. She competes in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), where she is the current UFC Women’s Featherweight Champion and two-time UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion.
Nunes initially aspired to become a professional soccer player, starting in elementary school as a player on the local Pojuca team and later on the Salvador team. Eventually, she got the opportunity to try out for the Vitória football club but was unable to accept due to her mother wanting her to focus on her studies instead.
Is Amanda Nunes lesbian?
Widely regarded as the greatest female mixed martial artist of all time, Nunes is the first woman to become a two-division UFC champion, and the third fighter to hold UFC titles in two weight classes simultaneously, after Conor McGregor and Daniel Cormier.
As of January 25, 2023, she is ranked #1 in the UFC women’s pound-for-pound rankings. Moving to her personal life, Nunes is the first openly lesbian UFC champion. Nunes is a lesbian who is married to former UFC fighter Nina Nunes, who competed in the strawweight division. Nunes credits her UFC success to their relationship. On September 24, 2020, her wife gave birth to the couple’s first child, a daughter.
