She fought three times last year, beginning in March when she defeated Valentina Shevchenko by unanimous decision at UFC 196 for her third straight win. That earned her a women’s bantamweight title shot against then-champion Miesha Tate, whom Nunes finished in the first round to win the belt at UFC 200 in July. Nunes then capped off her year emphatically with her first title defense by destroying Ronda Rousey in 48 seconds at UFC 207 on December 30. Training for three fights is a lot of work for one year. Add to that the magnitude of each of those fights, and forgive Nunes (14-4 MMA, 7-1 UFC) for not wanting to jump back into the octagon right away
