Encyclopedic overview
Amanda Lourenço Nunes (born May 30, 1988) is a Brazilian-American professional mixed martial artist. She currently competes in the women’s Bantamweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), where she is the former UFC Women's Featherweight Champion and two-time UFC Women's Bantamweight Champion. She was ranked #1 in the UFC women's pound-for-pound rankings in 2022.
Widely regarded as one of the greatest female mixed martial artists of all time, Nunes is the only 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. She is also the only fighter in UFC history to defend two titles in two different weight classes while actively holding them simultaneously.
