Two-division UFC champion Amanda Nunes has been nominated for the Best Athlete in Women’s Sports and Best MMA Fighter at the 2021 ESPY Awards, which takes place on July 10.
Universally recognized as the best pound-for-pound women’s fighter in MMA today, Nunes has gone on one of the most impressive streaks in the history of the sport, capturing UFC gold at both 135 pounds and 145 pounds.
Over the past year, Nunes has defended her featherweight title on two occasions with a lopsided win over Felicia Spencer and a stoppage of former Invicta FC champion Megan Anderson in just over two minutes at UFC 259 in March.
