<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.

<h2>Who is Julianna Pena?</h2>
Julianna Pena is a trailblazer in the world of mixed martial arts. Known for her fearless attitude and relentless work ethic, the American fighter has made her mark in the UFCâ€™s womenâ€™s bantamweight division. But sheâ€™s not just any competitorâ€”Pena is the first woman to ever win The Ultimate Fighter! She is currently ranked no.5 on the womenâ€™s P4P (pound for pound) list and also holds the no. 1 spot in the womenâ€™s bantamweight division.
<h2>Julianna Penaâ€™s Early Life</h2>
Born on August 19, 1989, Julianna Pena was raised in Spokane, Washington. The youngest of four siblings, she grew up in a tight-knit family, graduating from Mt. Spokane High School in 2007 before attending Spokane Community College.

Of Mexican and Venezuelan descent, Juliannaâ€™s story is one of perseverance, grit, and chasing a dream she didnâ€™t know she had. Why? Pena didnâ€™t initially set out to become a fighter. In fact, her first step into the combat world came from a desire to lose weight and channel her energy toward a positive goal.

She started with a cardio kickboxing classâ€”a decision that would ignite a spark she never expected. From there, her passion grew, and she transitioned to mixed martial arts, where she would eventually rise to the top of the UFC's womenâ€™s bantamweight division.
<h2>Julianna Pena's Husband</h2>
Behind every champion, thereâ€™s often a quiet, unwavering presence. For UFC womenâ€™s bantamweight Julianna Pena, that force is her husband, Luis Alejandre. Alejandre is not just a supportive husband; heâ€™s a skilled Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu trainer and practitioner. His passion for martial arts began at 19, setting the stage for a lifelong commitment. Over the years, Alejandre earned his black belt and has since shared his expertise as a defensive tactics instructor for the U.S. Army, police agencies, and more. Heâ€™s a man dedicated to both his craft and his country.

The coupleâ€™s journey together has seen them build not just a family but also a legacy. In 2018, they welcomed their daughter, Isabella Cruz, into the world. The young girl has already begun learning jiu-jitsu, following in her fatherâ€™s footsteps. Alejandre even credits Isabella as the inspiration behind the opening of his Stronghold Jiu-Jitsu Academy, located in Chicago.
<h2>Julianna Penaâ€™s Net Worth 2024</h2>
According to information available online, Julianna Pena has a reported net worth of around $2 million. The largest pay-day of her career? It came in her last fight inside the Octagon when she took on Amanda Nunes at UFC 277 in 2022. While she did lose the bout and the bantamweight title, Pena took home a reported base salary of $250,000 and adding the PPV payouts and sponsorship income, her total earnings for that fight were around $492,000.
