Amanda Nunez has not lost since 2015. She has 12 wins, which is the second most active series in the UFC after Kamar Usman (15). In 2018, Amanda became the author of one of the toughest knockouts in MMA history. Then went to Chris Cyborg, who at the time of the fight had a streak of 20 victories in a row and had not lost for 13 years.
Her rival is Venezuelan American Juliana Peña. Since 2016, she has fought only five fights against ten in the same period at Nunez. Peña has three wins and two losses.
