The consensus greatest female fighter of all time is headed to the UFC Hall of Fame.
Amanda Nunes was cageside for UFC 314 on Saturday at Kaseya Center in Miami, one day after she indicated she’s not done fighting yet. During the broadcast, the promotion announced Nunes (23-5 MMA, 16-2 UFC) will be inducted this summer.
Nunes was emotional as the video package rolled and embraced UFC CEO Dana White, CBO Hunter Campbell, and ring announcer Bruce Buffer after its completion.

Nunes, 36, held both UFC women’s bantamweight and featherweight gold. In addition to her three title fight winning victories, she defended gold on eight occasions. Her name is all over the UFC record books.
She debuted in 2013 and over the next decade beat the likes of Cris Cyborg, Ronda Rousey, Miesha Tate, Holly Holm, Valentina Shevchenko and Julianna Peña among others. Her only two losses came to Peña and Cat Zingano.
In August 2023, Nunes retired as the women’s bantamweight champion to spend more time with her wife Nina Nunes and their daughter. However, it’s expected Nunes will return to competition to fight the winner of the UFC 315 co-main event between Peña and Kayla Harrison.
