Former UFC women’s featherweight champion Cris Cyborg was widely considered one of, if not the, greatest female fighters of all time, but then ‘The Lioness’ came along and turned the MMA world on its head.
Many expected a razor close fight between Cyborg and Amanda Nunes when they fought for the women’s featherweight title at UFC 232, but Nunes proved to be in a league of her own, picking Justino apart with before eventually finishing the Brazilian with a huge right hand in the first round, becoming the first female two-division champ in UFC history.
Nunes has since gone to defend her bantamweight title against both Holly Holm and Germaine de Randamie, beating the latter via unanimous decision at UFC 245 this past month.
