Who is Amanda Nunes’ wife Nina Nunes?

Nina Nunes, formerly Ansaroff, is a UFC fighter who competes in the women’s strawweight division. Currently, she is ranked eighth in the division. Nina was born and raised in Weston, Florida. Her maternal grandparents descend from North Macedonia. Nunes started practising Taekwondo at the age of 6, and wrestled while at Lake Region High School. Thereafter Nina began training in mixed martial arts in 2009 as a way to lose weight and to help keep in shape following a motorcycle accident.

She is a third-degree black belt in Taekwondo, and purple belt in jiu-jitsu. Nina made her professional debut in 2010 competing in regional promotions, and gathered a record of 5–3 before joining Invicta FC. She fought only once under the Invicta banner, and quickly made a move to UFC.

Nunes made her debut in the UFC against Juliana Lima on November 8, 2014 at UFC Fight Night 56. Nunes lost the fight via unanimous decision. Her best run inside the organization came between January 2017 to December 2018, amassing four straight wins.

Nina, and her partner Amanda were amongst the first openly gay partners in the UFC. Nunes is married to fellow UFC fighter Amanda Nunes, the former UFC Women’s Bantamweight and reigning Featherweight champion. On March 6, 2020, she announced that she was expecting a girl, due date being in September 2020. The couple welcomed a daughter on September 24, 2020. In April 2021 she began using the last name Nunes within the UFC. Her April 10 fight against Mackenzie Dern was the first time she used that name.

Amanda Nunes is arguably the greatest women’s MMA fighter of all time. She holds victories over some of the biggest, most dangerous names in women’s fighting, including the likes of Valentina Shevchenko, Cris Cyborg, Ronda Rousey, and Holly Holm just to name a few.

Nunes landed her first title shot against then bantamweight champion Meisha Tate, at UFC 200 on July 9th, 2016. She dismantles Tate, and won the fight via rear naked choke. What followed later on was the single greatest run in women’s MMA history. Nunes moved up in weight to face Cris Cyborg for the UFC Women’s Featherweight Championship on December 29, 2018, at UFC 232. Nunes knocked Cyborg out in 51 seconds of the first round to become the new UFC Women’s Featherweight Champion. This made her the first woman in UFC to hold championship belts in different divisions simultaneously.
