MMA fans cross swords over every possible question in the sport. However, when it comes to the female G.O.A.T in the UFC, only one name rings a bell: Amanda 'The Lioness' Nunes. The Brazilian has been one of the most dominant fighters in the world of MMA. Currently, she holds and defends the belt in multiple weight classes, bantamweight, and featherweight.

Holding two tiles simultaneously means she joins the elite list, which includes only two other fighters in the UFC so far - Conor McGregor and Daniel Cormier. Quite the company, huh?

Married to Nina Ansaroff, Nunes is also the first openly lesbian UFC champion.

Let's get to know more about the person who Nunes credits the most for her decorated career.

"We already talked about it. After she gets the belt, I'm gonna get my belt at [115 pounds], and then we're gonna do a super-fight at 125 ... we're so down. We really would try to kill each other. Why not? Bring the money home in the same household."

“We enjoy being around each other and we are also best friends. We go fishing together and we go training together and sometimes we go a little heavier in the sparring session and then we just smile after. ... It's not that bad. It really does help [sparring]. The best thing about it is, is that it's not something that's ever really talked about. It's kinda like you know what's up, I know what's up. We get it out in our training and then it's never left the cage and it's never left the gym. That's it. It's amazing.”

The couple got engaged in 2018. The couple welcomed their baby daughter, Raegan Ann Nunes, on Sept. 2020.
