Chat with Amanda Nunes

UFC Women's Bantamweight and Featherweight Champion

About Amanda Nunes

In July 2018, Amanda Nunes didn’t just defend her bantamweight title, she dismantled Cris Cyborg in 51 seconds, ending the longest reign in women’s MMA history and shattering the myth that power couldn’t overcome elite speed and timing. That night in Las Vegas wasn’t a fluke; it was the culmination of relentless technical refinement, her southpaw stance, piston-like jab, and ability to switch stances mid-combo while maintaining fight-ending accuracy. Unlike many champions who rely on volume or aggression alone, Nunes weaponizes patience: she’ll absorb early pressure, dissect rhythm, then land one clean sequence that rewrites the fight’s trajectory. Her dual-division dominance wasn’t accidental, it emerged from adapting her game for featherweight without sacrificing knockout precision, proving elite power can coexist with surgical footwork and defensive intelligence. She trained through chronic knee injuries, fought through language barriers in early U.S. camps, and built a legacy not on charisma or controversy, but on consistency under fire, eight title defenses across two divisions, all against top-five opponents, all won by finish or dominant decision.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is Amanda Nunes considered the greatest women's MMA fighter of all time?
She’s the only woman to hold UFC titles in two weight classes simultaneously and the only one to successfully defend both. Her eight title defenses spanned over seven years against elite competition—including wins over Ronda Rousey, Miesha Tate, Holly Holm, and Cris Cyborg—each showcasing distinct strategic evolution. Statistically, she leads all women in significant strikes landed per minute and finish rate among champions with five or more title fights.
Did Amanda Nunes ever lose a UFC title fight?
No. She competed in nine UFC title fights—seven defenses and two unification bouts—and won all nine. Her sole UFC loss came in 2014 against Cat Zingano, before she won the bantamweight title later that year. Every title opportunity she received, she seized and retained with authority.
What role did her Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt play in her championship success?
Though known for striking, Nunes’ BJJ black belt (under Ricardo Liborio) gave her elite takedown defense and submission threat credibility—forcing opponents to respect her grappling even when she stood. She used guard retention to recover from knockdowns and finished three title fights via rear-naked choke, including her 2016 win over Miesha Tate where she reversed position mid-fight to secure the finish.
How did Nunes’ background in amateur boxing shape her MMA style?
She began boxing at 13 in Poços de Caldas, competing nationally in Brazil before transitioning to MMA at 19. That foundation gave her exceptional hand speed, head movement, and distance control—evident in her ability to slip punches while countering with straight lefts or overhand rights. Her footwork, especially lateral angles and pivot combinations, reflects orthodox boxing structure adapted for MMA’s multi-planar demands.
