Meanwhile, another user highlighted ‘Lioness’ dominance by saying it works against her as she is always the odds on favorite.
“People talk about Amanda Nunes not being a draw or a star, but I think the #1 reason she isn’t a global star is that she’s expected to win. There hasn’t been anyone we were really surprised she beat. She’s simply too elite for current competitors.”

She certainly is elite having notched up wins over Ronda Rousey, Valentina Shevchenko, Holly Holm, Cris Cyborg, and Miesha Tate on her near 6-year unbeaten streak.
Moreover, ‘Lioness’ class did not go unnoticed as she let ‘Feenom’ put the belt on her right shoulder and warmly embraced her. The mutual respect was evident throughout the bout with both fighters touching gloves before every round.
