They say you’re not really a champion until you defend the title, and UFC women’s bantamweight titleholder Amanda Nunes did so in pretty remarkable fashion. After submitting Miesha Tate to win the belt at UFC 200, Nunes faced a returning Ronda Rousey at UFC 207 in late 2016. It was a drubbing, a one-sided beatdown – one that ended “Rowdy’s” MMA career and prompted her move to the WWE wrestling ring. For Nunes, it was a definitive reminder than the women’s 135-pound division had a new queen.
