Nina Ansaroff: Amanda Nunes would be women’s MMA GOAT if she beats Cris Cyborg at UFC 232

UFC women’s bantamweight champion Amanda Nunes already has a pair of wins against current flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko, and at UFC 232 on Saturday night she’ll be moving up to featherweight to challenge Cris Cyborg. If she prevails, she’ll be the first simultaneous women’s champion in UFC history, and the first to beat Cyborg since Cris’ MMA debut way back in 2005.

Nunes is the underdog as you might expect, but she’s widely considered to be Cyborg’s toughest challenge to date. As for where she’d rank among women’s MMA all-time greats should she pull off the upset? Nina Ansaroff, Nunes’ fiancee and current UFC strawweight, believes that would make Amanda #1.
