Amanda Nunes' UFC 250 Victory Cements Her Status as Most Dominant Female Fighter Ever

The Lioness continues to rule her kingdom.

Amanda Nunes won her eleventh consecutive fight at UFC 250, successfully defending her Featherweight Championship against an overmatched Felicia Spencer.

Nunes (20-4) used this main event, marquee matchup as a glorified sparring session, and Spencer (8-2) never presented a serious threat to the champ. The most impressive part of Spencer’s performance was her ability to withstand nonstop punishment.

“I know she’s tough, and I knew I needed to be sharp to go five rounds,” said Nunes. “[But] when she connected her first punch on me, I knew she was never going to knock me out.
