UFC champ Amanda Nunes, strawweight Nina Ansaroff announce engagement
UFC women’s bantamweight champ Amanda Nunes is tying the knot with longtime girlfriend and UFC strawweight Nina Ansaroff.
Today, Nunes (16-4 MMA, 9-1 UFC) and Ansaroff (9-5 MMA, 3-2 UFC) announced their engagement on social media with simple captions of “#Isaidyes” and “#shesaidyes” (via Instagram):
Nunes, No. 2 in the latest USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie MMA women’s pound-for-pound rankings, became the first openly gay UFC champion when she defeated Miesha Tate at UFC 200 in July 2016. She’s proudly worn that accomplishment through her 135-pound title reign, which currently stands at three defenses.
“The Lioness” and Ansaroff, who is an honorable mention in the latest strawweight rankings and coming off a decision win over Randa Markos at UFC on FOX 30 in July, have been together for several years.
The pair did not reveal a date in which they plan to get married, but when they do, they will join flyweights Mark De La Rosa and Montana De La Rosa as the second married couple on the UFC roster.
