How many title defenses does Amanda Nunes have?

Amanda Nunes has seven title defenses in her illustrious UFC career. 'The Lioness' currently reigns over two divisions in the UFC: women's bantamweight and women's featherweight.

In the bantamweight division, she has five title defenses and in the featherweight division she has two title defenses.

Amanda Nunes is on a rare list of elite fighters to have won two UFC belts at the same time. At UFC 232, the Brazilian faced former women's featherweight champion Cris Cyborg.

She defeated Cyborg in the very first round via knockout after landing vicious combinations on the fellow Brazilian fighter.

Her first featherweight title defense came against recently retired Felicia Spencer at UFC 250.

Nunes' long list of bantamweight title defenses consists of notable names like Holly Holm, Valentina Shevchenko, Raquel Pennington and Germaine de Randamie.

Amanda Nunes requests Dana White to sign more female fighters to the UFC

Amanda Nunes has requested UFC president Dana White to enroll more female fighters into the UFC.

The Brazilian, who will make her sixth bantamweight title defense against Juliana Pena at UFC 269, believes that a requirement of fresh talent in the organization is necessary to help other female athletes on the roster level up. Furthermore, an influx of new female fighters in the two divisions will mean new competition for Nunes, who has seemed unstoppable for the longest time.

Speaking to Esporte Espetacular, Nunes said:

“I think we should go out of the mix. Some girls have been fighting for a while now, they’re not even top 10 or top 5. They need to have their shots, too...you have to mix things up. Make some girls face each other, bring some girls who are [at] the bottom of the division, so it doesn’t look so stale like it is."
