1. Amanda Nunes (Reigning bantamweight champion with 5 title defenses)
[autotag]Amanda Nunes[/autotag] is the current UFC women’s bantamweight champion, and one shy of tying Ronda Rousey’s record for most consecutive UFC title defenses by a woman.
She captured the title at UFC 200 with a dominant first-round finish over Miesha Tate. She made quick work of the returning Ronda Rousey at UFC 207, taking out another pioneer of the sport.
Nunes went on to defend her title another four times, a hard-fought battle against Valentina Shevchenko, a late finish against Raquel Pennington, a highlight-reel knockout over Holly Holm, and most recently out-grappling Germaine de Randamie for a decision win at UFC 245.
It’s an impressive resume, along with her featherweight title win over Cris Cyborg, which has established Nunes as the women’s GOAT of MMA.
