Amanda Nunes Inducted into UFC Hall of Fame, Hints at Potential Return

The UFC honors Nunes as the first female two-division champion while she teases a comeback after retiring in 2023.

Overview

  • Amanda Nunes has been confirmed as a member of the UFC Hall of Fame's Class of 2025, with her induction ceremony set for June 26 during UFC International Fight Week in Las Vegas.
  • Known as the greatest female fighter in MMA history, Nunes is celebrated for being the first and only woman to hold and defend titles in two UFC weight divisions simultaneously.
  • Despite retiring in June 2023 after a dominant title defense, Nunes has expressed interest in returning to competition, potentially facing the winner of Julianna Peña vs. Kayla Harrison for the bantamweight title.
  • Her induction into the Hall of Fame is notable as it challenges UFC tradition, which typically excludes fighters who may still compete in the modern era.
  • Nunes' legacy includes 11 title fight wins, 10 finishes, and a 12-fight win streak, solidifying her as a transformative figure in women's MMA.
