Amanda Nunes parents are Sindoval Nunes and Ivete Nunes. Nunes was born Amanda Lourenço Nunes on May 30, 1988 in Brazil.

Her mother Ivete and father Sindobal parted ways when she was just a four-year preschooler. After that, Ivete took custody of Amanda and her two older siblings.

It was a challenging period for Amanda as Ivete had to make an end meet as a single mother. She did not have a steady way to earn money, which made things even harder for the family.

In addition to her job at the school, Ivete took on various side gigs to earn extra money. She sold hot dogs, sweets, and beauty products to provide for her three offspring. Besides, Ivete also toiled as a financial assistant at DFX Transporte Internacional LTD for five years.

Nunes says that her mum was a caring parent, but she also had strict rules. Ivete wanted Amanda to channel her extra energy in a positive way, so she encouraged her to participate in sports.

Ivete has always been a big fan of boxing and she used to box when Amanda was a young girl. Inspired by that, the UFC fighter followed in her mother's footsteps.

Amanda Nunes comes from the small township of Pojuca in Bahia, Brazil. Amanda grew up with her two sisters Vanessa and Valdirene Nunes.

Among the brood, the 5-foot-8 MMA champ is the youngest. She has maintained a close relationship with both of them and often invites the two to her house during a special occasion or event to celebrate together.

Moreover, Amanda wishes her elder siblings on their birthdays via social media posts. When she was 16 years old, Vanessa invited her to a dojo. That is when Amanda started learning Brazilian jiu-jitsu (BJJ).

Her uncle Jose Silva, a No Holds Barred fighter, had also inspired her career greatly. He pushed Amanda to go to a karate class when she was seven.

When Amanda turned 17, she relocated to Salvador with her sister for further training. She joined the Edson Carvalho Academy and learn from Ricardo Carvalho. During her time there, she focused on Brazilian jiu-jitsu and also began practicing judo.

Prior to joining MMA, Nunes excelled in BJJ tournaments, winning a gold medal in the 2008 Pan American Jiu-Jitsu Championship and the 2009 World Jiu-Jitsu Championship. Additionally, Amanda has earned a black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu and a brown belt in judo.
