Many consider the reigning UFC featherweight champion Amanda Nunes to be the greatest female fighter in the MMA world. Nunes has been exceptional in the octagon and has gotten the better of almost all her opponents she’s faced.

As of 22nd May 2022, Nunes stands second in the UFC women’s pound for pound rankings. She is also the number one contender in the women’s bantamweight division. Nunes had one of the most deadly runs in the promotion before the recent loss to Julianna Pena. During her win streak, the Brazilian challenged the famous reality TV star Kim Kardashian to a bout inside the UFC octagon.
