UFC Hall of Fame Amanda Nunes Induction Announcement Marks a New Era in Women's MMA

Amanda Nunes, widely regarded as the premier female fighter in mixed martial arts history, is set to enter the UFC Hall of Fame. Attending UFC 314 at the Kaseya Center in Miami, she expressed her ongoing passion for the sport just a day before the Hall of Fame announcement was made.

Nunes holds an impressive professional record of 23 wins and 5 losses, with 16 victories in the UFC.

At 36 years old, Nunes has made a significant mark on the sport by capturing titles in both the bantamweight and featherweight divisions. Notably, she successfully defended her championship titles eight times and faced formidable opponents, including Cris Cyborg and Ronda Rousey. Her only defeats in the octagon were against Julianna Peña and Cat Zingano.

In August 2023, Nunes decided to retire while holding the bantamweight championship, prioritizing family life with her wife, Nina Nunes, and child.

Despite her retirement, there are strong indications that she may return to compete against the upcoming UFC 315 co-main event winner, either Peña or Kayla Harrison. Nunes' legacy continues to grow as she makes this transition.
