Nina Ansaroff is back in the UFC thanks to the unflagging support and encouragement of her girlfriend and fellow UFC fighter, Amanda Nunes. Now, Ansaroff is determined to fight and win a championship belt. At the same time, nothing is more precious to Ansaroff than her loving relationship with Nunes.
Nina Ansaroff is a Macedonian-American mixed martial artist, who currently competes in the women’s strawweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). Though her name fame comes from her career as a UFC fighter, she seems to be getting more attention lately as Amanda Nunes’ girlfriend. Ansaroff has been plagued by injuries recently, but Nunes has been encouraging her to get back into the ring and win her fights. Amanda Nunes is no stranger to the ringer herself, as she is the women’s bantamweight champion of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). The close relationship between Ansaroff and Nunes has been the subject of buzz in the media, but their support for each other has helped get them through troubled times.
Inspired by Her Girlfriend
Ansaroff was unable to participate for two year-long periods within a three-year span, and she was painfully aware that she was slipping into obscurity. However, her girlfriend made sure that fans did not forget Ansaroff, even during the times when she was unable to fight. So, after a recent win over fellow strawweight, Jocelyn Jones-Lybarger, Ansaroff made it clear that she was grateful to Nunes for inspiring her to win. Ansaroff said, “Man, for her last three fights, she’s called me out, telling everybody that I’m the next champion. It’s a little bit of pressure, but she believes in me. I know what I’m capable of. She does too. And it only motivated me to get the win tonight.”
