Amanda Nunes ignores talk of Cris Cyborg, Valentina Shevchenko ahead of UFC 239 clash with Holly Holm

Amanda Nunes is on a mission and won’t waste any time thinking about any other women except Holly Holm.

“The Lioness” puts her bantamweight title on the line Saturday night in Las Vegas, facing the only former UFC champion at 135 pounds she hasn’t beat yet. The Brazilian considers herself the greatest female fighter in MMA history, and thinks that a win over “The Preacher’s Daughter” at UFC 239 adds more to her legacy as an athlete.

“I won the belt and I have to continue defending my title and continue to make history,” Nunes told Brazilian reporters during a media scrum on Tuesday.
