A biography for Amanda Nuneshasn’t been written yet.
“I'd have to do a lot of things to fight Cyborg.”
“I respect my opponents, I learned that from life. I used to think I would step in there, throw one punch and the other girl would go down and not get up again. Everytime I thought that, I lost.”
“I represent Brazil with the flag and the belt.”
“Cyborg is way heavier, way bigger than me.”
“We both are the only women that beat Ronda Rousey. There's a history involved. Holly and I always were the underdog in our fights, so there's a history.”
“Ronda is an amazing athlete and has done so much for this sport, especially for the women.”
“I don't have anything personal against Valentina, but I think she changed a lot, her personality. In one interview, she says something and the other one she goes completely the other way.”
“I started my career with a loss, getting 'slapped' by life.”
“I feel like Nina came into my life to help me grow, and since I met her, everything in our careers has been amazing.”
“I've been doing everything people like to see: knock people out, and submissions, and go in there to fight.”
“I love the U.S.A. women's soccer team. I'm really a fan of them, how they play as a team, the spirit they have. They really motivate a lot of people.”
“I held so much in during the weeks prior to my fight with Ronda. I might have said or posted some things at the time that I now realize was not the right thing to do.”
“Where the opponent is in the rankings means nothing.”
“I wanted to be a huge soccer player. I wanted to be the best in soccer when I grew up. But my life changed. Out of nowhere, I decided to be a fighter.”
“I eat a lot of chocolate because I love it.”
“If you want to promote me, promote me.”
“What am I going to do if I stop fighting? Study? Soccer?”
“Every time I touched Ronda, connected a punch, I wanted more and more. That's why the fight was so fast. Every time I connected, I felt that she couldn't take it, so I threw more and only stopped when it was over. But it was good.”
“You know, whatever people say, nothing's going to change it - what I think, what I'm capable of.”
