#5 She holds wins over 5 UFC champions
UFC President Dana White has taken to calling Nunes the greatest female fighter in MMA history since her big victory at UFC 232, and while he’s definitely prone to hyperbole at times, on this occasion it’s probably hard to argue with him.
Not only is Nunes now the only woman to hold UFC titles in two different weight classes at the same time, she’s also accomplished another huge feat.
That feat? She holds wins over 5 different UFC champions. Her first victim was the UFC’s inaugural Women’s Featherweight champion Germaine de Randamie, who was dispatched via a first-round TKO in November 2013.
She then defeated current UFC Women’s Flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko – and picked up another win over her later on - before taking the Bantamweight title from then-champ Miesha Tate.
From there Nunes defeated the UFC’s first women’s champion and Hall of Famer Ronda Rousey before dispatching Cris Cyborg last weekend. Add in her afore-mentioned win over Bellator champion Julia Budd, and her 2015 win over veteran Shayna Baszler – who held the title in the smaller Freestyle Cage Fighting organisation – and it’s easy to see why White would consider her the greatest of all time.
