Brazilian Amanda Nunez ended her career early, she could be back fighting in a year and a half, like Henry Cejudo did, Russian UFC fighter Irina Alekseeva told .
Nunes defeated Irene Aldana last weekend in the main event of the UFC 289 tournament. After the fight, the 35-year-old Brazilian announced her retirement. Nunes has competed in the UFC since 2013, overall in MMA she has 23 wins with five losses. The athlete has won victories over rivals such as Valentina Shevchenko, Ronda Rousey, Cris Cyborg, Misha Tate and Holly Holm.
Amanda ended her career early. She must have been “full” and tired. You can understand her – in a year she had three fights. Not all champions spend so many fights. Many fight once a year. So, like Henry Cejudo, she will rest for a year and a half and come back. Maybe she will run out of money if she doesn’t have financial stability without a fight, Alekseeva told .
Nunes held the UFC bantamweight and featherweight belts at the time of his retirement announcement. The Brazilian is the leader of the UFC women’s rankings, regardless of weight class.
Former UFC bantamweight and flyweight champion Cejudo, 36, announced his retirement after winning in May 2020 but took the floor in May 2023 when he lost a split decision against UFC bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling.
The next UFC Fight Night tournament will take place on June 17 in Las Vegas (USA), in the main event Marvin Vettori and Jared Cannonier will meet. Watch the live broadcast from 5:00 a.m. Moscow time on Sunday on the channel, as well as from 1:55 a.m. on the matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru sites.
