Amanda Nunes' legacy is looking better than ever

[Shay Brennan]

Now that Pennington has just become champion, that makes her the 8th champion Nunes has beaten.
Amanda has also beaten the FLW GOAT Valentina, former BW GOAT Rousey and FW GOAT Cyborg.

really boosts cat zingano's resume when you think about it.

I mean she’s very clearly the best female mma fighter ever. Last night’s fight just kinda showed how weak the division is though.

Now would be a good time for Valentina Shevchenko to move up and get that bantamweight title.

WMMA is looking worse than ever.

Not really. Then you could say the same for Sarah delio and Alexis Davis.

Cat had a shot and shit the bed

Nunes is the most accomplished W fighter ever, meaning she is the GOAT.
But she isn't the most skilled female fighter ever. That is Valentina.

The third fight should've happened a few years ago, as Val is the clear second best or 3rd at worst. That would've been one awesome trilogy.

Also, there is a case to be made for Cris Cyborg. She has won a belt in every promotion possible at the time and is about to do the same with PFL.
She also has the least losses.

WMMA dying confirmed.

 

[El Fernas]

Pennington becoming a champion like it means something is a stretch, someone had to fight for the belt it happened to be her.

I don’t care much for goat talk because it’s too subjective. But in this instance, you’ve got the most accomplished fighter also holding wins over both the other top contenders. Holds win over every former champion in each division she competed in. Don’t think there is too much discussion to be had.

No there isn't. Not her fault but she fought in a talentless division and when she fought the best bantamweight in the world she lost.

cat finished pennington, tate, and nunes back-to-back-to-back. those women didn't.

What has she done since then?
Did anybody realistically consider Sokoudjou the best in world after his 2 big wins?

Makes Rousey look good too because right after that she armbarred Cat in 14 seconds lol

That's not how it works.

It’s so bad Dana has to really consider eliminating it.

Shevchenko would struggle with the Boxing of Pennington. She struggles against good Boxers (don’t say Holly - Holly doesn’t have good “MMA boxing”).

Shev struggled against Sarah Kaufman and needed takedowns to sway the judges.

he was like top 3 at lhw everywhere
