For a good six years, Amanda Nunes reigned over the UFC’s women’s bantamweight division as its immovable, unstoppable champion. “The Lioness” pretty much cleaned out the division and even won the women’s featherweight title before running into Julianna Peña and losing the 135-pound title at UFC 269 in December.
In those years of dominance, it looked like Nunes was comfortable being at the top, with how she handily disposed of her opponents. But in her recent interview with UFC correspondent/analyst Laura Sanko for her YouTube channel One on One, she admitted being relieved of all that pressure as champion.
