With a résumé that includes wins over champions Ronda Rousey, Miesha Tate, Valentine Shevchenko (two times) and now Cris Cyborg, Amanda Nunes cemented her legacy as the greatest female fighter of all time Saturday night as she hoisted the women’s bantamweight and women’s featherweight belts over her shoulders.
„She’s the best ever,“ Dana White would say at the post-fight press conference. „How can you deny it? That’s what this fight was for. If you look at her resume and who she’s beat, she’s the best ever. You can’t debate that.“
Perhaps more surprising than the fact she became the champ-champ was the speed in which she did it, needing a mere 51 seconds to rock the previously indestructible Cyborg, and KO-ing her for the first time in Cyborg’s career
“I was so ready. So ready for tonight,” she said. “Nothing was going to stop me from doing what I wanted to.”
