UFC double-champion Amanda Nunes has cleaned out what’s left of the women’s featherweight division. With no challengers for the immediate future, “The Lioness” is now back to defending her bantamweight title.
After Nunes disposed of Megan Anderson at UFC 259 in March, UFC president Dana White says he’s keeping the women’s 145-pound division open “as long as the champ-champ wants to defend it.
But in a recent conversation with Combate, Nunes revealed that White may finally kill off the weight class. This is when she decided to step in.
“Dana wants to end this division, but I said that, as long as I’m a champion, I want it open,” she said.
