Background

Ansaroff was born and raised in Weston, Florida. Her maternal grandparents descend from North Macedonia.[6] Ansaroff started practicing Taekwondo at the age of 6.[1] She wrestled while at Lake Region High School.[7] She began training in mixed martial arts in 2009 as a way to lose weight and to help keep in shape following a motorcycle accident.[1]

Mixed martial arts career

Ansaroff made her professional debut in 2010, and amassed a record of 5-3 before joining Invicta FC.[1][8]

Invicta FC

Ansaroff made her promotional debut against Munah Holland on December 7, 2013 at Invicta FC 7.[9] Ansaroff won the fight via TKO in the third round.[10]

Ultimate Fighting Championship

Ansaroff made her debut in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) against Juliana Lima on November 8, 2014 at UFC Fight Night 56.[11] Ansaroff lost the fight via unanimous decision.[12]

Ansaroff was expected to face Rose Namajunas on May 23, 2015 at UFC 187. Nina Ansaroff missed weight on her first attempt at the weigh-ins, coming in 4 lbs overweight at 120 lbs. After having made no attempts to cut further, she was fined 20 percent of her fight purse, which went to Rose Namajunas. However, on the day of the event, Ansaroff was pulled out of the bout by UFC doctors after contracting a case of the flu. As a result, Namajunas was pulled from the event entirely[10]

Ansaroff next faced Justine Kish at UFC 195 on January 2, 2016.[13] She lost the fight by unanimous decision.

On October 10, 2019, Ansaroff announced that she would put her mixed martial arts career on hold in order to attempt to have her first child.[22] The attempts were successful as in March 2020, her wife Amanda Nunes announced that the couple is expecting their first child, to be born later that year. Ansaroff gave birth to a daughter in September 2020.[23]

Ansaroff faced Mackenzie Dern on April 10, 2021 at UFC on ABC 2.[24] She lost the bout via first round armbar.[25]
