Amanda Nunes ended the Championship reign of Miesha Tate at the first hurdle. However, Nunes was a fearsome test for anybody.
Trending
The Brazilian, aptly nicknamed the "Lioness" roars like no other. After breezing past the experienced Tate, Nunes crushed the legendary, Ronda Rousey in her first title defence in less than a minute. A defeat so devastating for Rousey, she retired afterwards.
Nunes's greatest test came against Valentina Shevchenko at UFC 215 in a keenly fought contest, which she won on a close split decision.
Nunes returned to her best form at UFC 224 where she defeated Raquel Pennington in the first UFC main event between two openly gay fighters. Nunes dominated the bout, finishing Pennington with ground and pound in the final round.
Nunes, undefeated in her last seven fights is the Queen of her division and looks unlikely to yield her throne any time soon.
