The G.O.A.T. has left the building. Yes, I hate evaluating careers while they’re still going on, but now that Amanda Nunes has retired, we can address her standing in the history of women’s combat sports, and she is the best to ever do it. Her resume proves it, but what may be most impressive is that early in her UFC career, few were forecasting greatness for a good fighter, but one with a 9-4 record coming off a stoppage loss to Cat Zingano in 2014. But Nunes had the stuff the greats had in terms of determination, work ethic and the willingness to keep learning, and after that Zingano fight, she went 14-1, won two divisional world titles, and beat a Who’s Who of the sport. In my opinion, there is no debate – Nunes was the greatest.
