UFC: 5 Power Couples That Are Still Going Strong (And 5 That Didn’t Last)

1. Going Strong: Amanda Nunes & Nina Ansaroff

After shocking the world by defeating Cris Cyborg in 51 seconds, Amanda Nunes is now a two-division champion. The women's bantamweight and featherweight queen is also known for being the UFC's first openly lesbian title holder.

Nunes has been dating surging strawweight contender Nina Ansaroff since 2012. The couple announced that they were engaged this past August.

Ansaroff is scheduled to face Tatiana Suarez this coming June, in a fight that will likely decide the next title challenger in the strawweight division.

If Ansaroff can go on to capture the gold in her division, she would become one-half of the first MMA couple to hold titles at the same time. In this scenario, assuming Nunes holds on to her belts, the duo would own three of the four UFC women's championships.
