After battering Raquel Pennington in Brazil at UFC 224, Nunes ventured up a division to dispatch Cris Cyborg and claim the featherweight title, finishing her feared countrywoman in 51 seconds to become the first and only female two-division champion. She followed that up by stopping Holly Holm six months later, beat Germaine de Randamie five months after that, and added Felicia Spencer to her list of vanquished challengers six months hence, becoming the first “Double Champ” to defend both their titles simultaneously in the process.
Her final successful featherweight title defense came against Megan Anderson, and after losing the bantamweight strap to Julianna Pena in stunning fashion at UFC 269, a refocused Nunes won it back seven months later.
By toppling Pena, the Brazilian standout could once again lay claim to one of the most incredible achievements anyone has managed inside the Octagon, as Nunes has beaten each and every woman to ever hold both the bantamweight and featherweight titles.
