Amanda Nunes hints at move up to 145 pounds, wants to win two belts like Conor McGregor

While current Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) women's bantamweight queen Amanda Nunes commanded some spotlight after handily submitting Miesha Tate back at UFC 200 to claim the 135-pound crown, the 28-year-old Brazilian shattered the proverbial ceiling to muster unseen notoriety after knocking Ronda Rousey silly in just 48 seconds at UFC 207 (see those highlights here) last month. Currently riding the biggest wave of her career, Nunes is already setting the bar high entering 2017.

"Honestly, I want to take a little time, enjoy it a little bit but I really look forward to this 145-pound belt," said Nunes in a recent interview with TMZ Sports.
