Former UFC featherweight champion Germaine de Randamie is out of her UFC 268 contest against Irene Aldana once more. The news of her removal from the bout came via ESPN Deportes after ‘The Iron Lady’ reportedly suffered an injury. Chiefly, this isn’t the first time that the bout is falling though and Aldana vs ‘GDR’ could be pushed back for the end of the year potentially. The first cancelation came after de Randamie suffered a broken hand and was forced to withdraw from the contest. The scrap was targeted [https://espndeportes.espn.com/artes-marciales-mixtas/nota/_/id/9173956/mma-artes-marciales-mixtas-germaine-de-randamie-ufc-268-irene-aldana] to take place on the undercard of the star-studded UFC 268 that is headlined by Kamaru Usman [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/kamaru-usman/] vs Colby Covington. [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/colby-covington/] The fight card going down in Madison Square Garden is stacked and the cancelation of the aforementioned fight is a definitive blow.

The Mexican fighter stopped Kunitskaya with an onslaught of well-placed shots and truly solidified her place as a contender. While she won’t be favored to tango with ‘GDR’ on the feet, to say that Aldana is a walk-over would be an oversight.

(Photo by Josh Hedges/Zuffa LLC) Apart from having a solid bag of weapons on the feet, Aldana is an extremely physical presence on the ground as well. She is adept at securing positions and eventually navigating the space around her to secure a submission or dominant top control. Germaine de Randamie bounced back from her title fight loss to Amanda Nunes [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/amanda-nunes/] and defeated Julianna Pena in her most recent scrap. This win has aged well considering that ‘The Venezuelan Vixen’ is about to fight Nunes for UFC gold. ‘GDR’ has only lost to Amanda Nunes in the UFC on two occasions and has racked up wins over several other mainstay fighters. [https://www.staging.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/germaine-de-randamie-ufc-245-pre-fight-presser.jpg] ‘The Iron Lady’ will certainly be favored when facing anyone not names Amanda Nunes. She’s a monster on the feet and can stop anyone with an array of striking weapons that have given all her opponents trouble. Fans will definitely be looking forward to seeing this bout come together in the future as it is critical for the division moving forward.

<h2>Amanda Nunes: Net Worth 2023, Career Earnings and UFC Record</h2>
Amanda Nunes has been a pioneering figure in WMMA. With high-level accolades that very few have achieved in MMA, she is a looming figure in the UFC because of her dominant wins.
<h2><strong>What is Amanda Nunes' net worth 2023?</strong></h2>
According to Wealthy Gorilla, Amanda Nunes has amassed a net worth of $4 million, solidifying her status as a successful and financially prosperous athlete in the world of MMA.
<h2><strong>Amanda Nunes' early life </strong></h2>
Amanda Lourenço Nunes, born and raised in Pojuca, Brazil, overcame obstacles in her upbringing to become a successful mixed martial artist. Despite her challenging background, Nunes thrived in the world of combat sports. With her mother, Ivete, working tirelessly to provide for the family, Nunes sought solace in sports to unleash her energy. Initially aspiring to be a professional soccer player, her studies took priority at her mother's insistence, and she had to let go of her football dreams. However, growing up surrounded by fighting influences, such as her uncle's Vale Tudo career and her mother's boxing experience [she even supported her uncle as his cornerwoman], Nunes developed a passion for martial arts.

Inspired by her family's involvement in combat sports, Nunes embarked on her training journey. She started with capoeira and karate, but her hunger for more led her to Brazilian jiu-jitsu and boxing at the age of 16. Nunes quickly emerged as a dominant force, overpowering her training partners and opponents with ease. At 17, she made a pivotal decision and moved to Salvador to train at the renowned Edson Carvalho Academy, where she delved into judo as well. Initially living with her sister, Nunes eventually relocated closer to the gym, immersing herself in the fighter's lifestyle. Her dedication earned her the nickname 'Leoa'[Translation: 'Lioness'], a fitting tribute to her fierce determination and the academy's lion emblem.

Nunes fully embraced the demanding life of a fighter, even going so far as to reside at the gym and assist her coach with cleaning before the crack of dawn jiu-jitsu classes. This immersive experience brought her immense satisfaction, as she relished the opportunity for personal growth and the proximity to the beach. Nunes's skills and dedication shone through in Brazilian jiu-jitsu competitions, where she claimed prestigious gold medals at renowned events like the Pan American Jiu-Jitsu Championship and the World Jiu-Jitsu Championship.

In 2007, Nunes decided to expand her skill set by venturing into the world of mixed martial arts at Edson Carvalho's gym. Seeking further growth, she eventually made her way to the United States, where she trained at esteemed locations such as AMA Fight Club in New Jersey and MMA Masters in Miami.
<h2><strong>Amanda Nunes' career </strong></h2>
'The Lioness' Amanda Nunes has left her opponents in awe and her fans roaring with excitement throughout her MMA career. With a record of 27 professional fights, Nunes has established herself as one of the most dominant and accomplished fighters in women's mixed martial arts. Nunes made her debut at Prime MMA Championship 2 on March 8, 2008, but faced defeat in the first round against Ana Maria, succumbing to an armbar submission. However, she didn't let this setback define her journey.

In her Strikeforce debut at Strikeforce Challengers: Woodley vs. Saffiedine on January 7, 2011, Nunes achieved a swift victory over Julia Budd, knocking her out in just 14 seconds. It was a lightning-fast triumph that set the tone for Nunes' future successes. Nunes faced setbacks along the way, like the cancellation of her scheduled fight with Julie Kedzie at Strikeforce: Overeem vs. Werdum due to a foot injury. Nevertheless, she remained determined to showcase her skills.

At Strikeforce: Barnett vs. Kharitonov on September 10, 2011, Nunes faced Alexis Davis. Despite her valiant efforts, Nunes lost the fight via TKO in the second round after fading in the later rounds. It was a tough pill to swallow, but Nunes wouldn't let it keep her down.



Moving on to Invicta FC, Nunes encountered various changes in her scheduled opponents. Eventually, she faced Raquel Pa'aluhi at Invicta FC 2: Baszler vs. McMann, securing a victory via technical submission with a rear-naked choke in the first round. However, she faced defeat in her bout against Sarah D'Alelio at Invicta FC 4: Esparza vs. Hyatt, losing via unanimous decision.

Nunes then made her Octagon debut at UFC 163 on August 3, 2013, against Sheila Gaff. She wasted no time in displaying her skills, winning the fight via TKO in the first round. Nunes continued her success with a first-round TKO victory over Germaine de Randamie at UFC Fight Night 31. Throughout her UFC career, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/ufc-news-it-was-a-really-easy-fight-coach-weighs-in-on-amanda-nunes-vs-ronda-rousey/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nunes achieved notable victories over legendary fighters</a> like <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/ronda-rousey">Ronda Rousey</a>, Miesha Tate, Holly Holm, and Cris Cyborg. She became the first openly gay UFC champion, breaking barriers and inspiring others with her accomplishments.

Nunes held simultaneous championship belts in different weight divisions after defeating Cris Cyborg for the UFC Women's Featherweight Championship at UFC 232. It was a historic triumph that solidified her status as a legend in the sport. While Nunes faced a loss to Julianna Peña at UFC 269, where she lost her bantamweight title, she reclaimed it in their rematch at UFC 277. As the saying goes, 'What doesn't kill you makes you stronger,' and Nunes exemplifies this by bouncing back from defeats.

A trilogy bout between Nunes and Peña was scheduled for UFC 289, but Peña withdrew due to broken ribs. However, Irene Aldana stepped in as a replacement, showcasing Nunes' ability to adapt and face new challenges.
<h2><strong>Amanda Nunes' career earnings </strong></h2>
According to Sportslens, throughout her MMA journey, Nunes has amassed millions, especially after winning her first UFC title. In her much-anticipated rematch with Julianna Peña, she is said to have earned approximately $450,000. Notable earnings include around $442,000 from their initial bout, $440,000 for her dominant win over Cris Cyborg, and an impressive $490,000 for each of her fights against Germaine de Randamie, Felicia Spencer, and Megan Anderson.

Amanda Nunes currently holds a UFC record of 22 wins, 5 losses, and 0 draws[as of June 2023]. Her impressive run included a remarkable 12-fight winning streak until she faced Julianna Pena and suffered a defeat. However, she embraced the setback and sought redemption by facing Pena again in a rematch.
<h2><strong>Amanda Nunes' relationships </strong></h2>
Amanda Nunes, the renowned Brazilian mixed martial artist, discovered a deep connection and unwavering support in her relationship with Nina Nunes, [formerly, Nina Ansaroff], a former UFC fighter in the women's strawweight division. Fate brought them together at the same gym, where they quickly became inseparable best friends, forging a bond that would strengthen over time.

He spent much of his early life in Oregon, where he attended the Thurston High School in Springfield. Taking after his father's passion for wrestling, he started learning the sport and began impressing everyone in his school as a wrestler. He then won the state championship as a senior, and this earned him the attention of college scouts who got him enrolled at Iowa Central Community College.

[caption id="attachment_3456144" align="aligncenter" width="5175"]<img class="wp-image-3456144 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/imago1038084842.jpg" alt="" width="5175" height="3555" /> December 16, 2023, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA: LEON EDWARDS 21-3-0 of Erdington, birmingham, England defeats COLBY COVINGTON 17-3-0 of Miami, Florida USA by a unanimous decision 49-46, 49-46, 49-46 during UFC 296 at T-Mobile Arena, Las Vegas Las Vegas USA - ZUMAo117 20231216_zsp_o117_058 Copyright: xMikaelxOnax[/caption]

<h2 class="jsx-3677412058" style="text-align: center">Kamaru Usman 2023: Record, Net Worth, Salary and Endorsements</h2>
Kamarudeen Usman, better known as Kamaru Usman, migrated to the United States when he was eight years old. Usman started wrestling at a young age at Bowie High School in Arlington, Texas. He was known as "Marty" because his coach could not pronounce his name properly.

'The Nigerian Nightmare' earned the NCAA Division II All American title three times during his time with the University of Nebraska at Kearney. He was a two-time national finalist and <a class="jsx-2733623271" href="https://infohub.projecttopics.org/1910342-kamaru-usman" target="_blank" rel="noopener">became</a> the NCAA DII champion in 2010.

Usman made his MMA debut in 2012 and won his first match via a second-round TKO. Unfortunately, he lost his second bout via a rear-naked choke. Usman claims that he did not realize the importance of Jiu-Jitsu before this fight. As of October 2023, Usman sits at #1 in the UFC welterweight division <a class="jsx-2733623271" href="https://www.ufc.com/rankings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">rankings</a>.
<h2 class="jsx-3677412058" style="text-align: center">Kamaru Usman: UFC Career</h2>
After amassing a 5-1 record, Usman received the opportunity to be on The Ultimate Fighter: American Top Team vs. Blackzilians. He won both of his matches and then submitted Hayder Hassan to win the twenty-first season of TUF.

Usman continued racking up wins. He went on a nine-fight win streak in the UFC before facing off against <a class="jsx-2733623271" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/tyron-woodley/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tyron Woodley</a> for the welterweight strap. Usman dominated Woodley to win the belt and then defended it four times.

In his first title defense against Colby Covington at UFC 245, Usman claimed a spectacular fifth-round TKO victory. Then, he defended his title for the second time against <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/jorge-masvidal/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jorge Masvidal</a> at UFC 251, where he won via unanimous decision.

His third title defense was against <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/gilbert-burns/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gilbert Burns</a> at UFC 258, where he claimed a magnificent third-round T/KO victory. His last fight was a rematch against Jorge Masvidal at UFC 261, where he claimed dominating second-round KO victory.

<h2 class="jsx-3677412058" style="text-align: center">Kamaru Usman: Fighting Style</h2>

He is also one of the strongest welterweights on the planet. Besides that, very few people can match his pace of fighting. Usman's chain wrestling style is nearly unstoppable.
