Lioness is in God mode right now. Just like in their prime Spider, GSP, Bones, etc. Just on another level then anyone in two division.

The problem with the women’s divisions is the lack of depth. Nunes and Valentina are legit P4P fighters on par with the top men in terms of skill set. But there is a huge drop off.

115 is the only female division with depth right now. I suspect more female athletes from sports like volleyball and soccer will start fighting once they see the money these girls are making. Nunes banked with PPV points last night.

Last one was uncomfortable to watch in those final rounds. I was appalled they let her go back out for that last minute.

Nunes is simply unbelievable. That was one of the most dominant performances I've ever seen, male or female. It looked like she was sparring with some newbie. Her technical abilities and timing are just sick!

Before the last round her corner said just stick to your gameplan and she rolled her eyes.

She's basically beaten all of the previous GOATs and previous top women. She's so good, she makes everyone look vastly inferior. That's God Mode on par with Spider, Bones, GSP, etc. Special talent that keeps getting better, bigger. Just keep throwing new contenders at her, I guess.
 
Cant wait for people to start saying she could beat a man in a fight. The average high school boy would beat the dog **** out of her.

The Linoess has beaten 5 champions, literally all the champs in both 135 & 145, that's an amazing feature that will never be seen again in women's MMA.

She the greatest female MMA fighter in UFC history & most dominant.

Agree with everything except the last part. I think the next generation of women will blow away the previous one in terms of athleticism and talent.

The female division is evolving fast and is the best opportunity besides tennis for female athletes to make money. The greatest champs are yet to come.

The best athletes are definitely in the future coming down the pike, but I doubt we see another dominant Champ like Nunes.

Even the best female athletes don't have hands like Amanda, unless some of the top tier female boxers like Claressa Shields start converting over to MMA & diversifying their styles, I just don't see too many women coming up with raw power & striking like Lioness.

There's some really good female Muay Thai fighters that will eventually make their way to the UFC, but even with being great kickers, their standup boxing & raw hands just can't match a Nunes's gifted power & attack IQ.

The problem is size, it's rare to find an elite female fighters in the 135-145 range, there's a bunch you could bring up from Muay Thai to fight in the weightclasses 125 & under, but it's rare to find the bigger females that are as coordinated & well versed in both striking & grappling as someone like Nunes.

Look at a fighter like Anissa Meksen, she's one of the greatest female Muay Thai & Kickboxers ever, extremely battle tested had over 100 fights & only lost 5 times, 9 time champion & highly skilled striker that has beat **** near just about everybody in her field.

She's just small & has small bone structure, she can't fight at any weight class higher than 125, that doesn't take away from her illustrious career, but the point is a fighter like her if she transitioned to MMA would be battling it out at Flyweight with Schevchenko & Straw-weight with Zhang, Andrade & Thug Rose.

I agree that the better athletes are evolving & will be coming more into the women's MMA, but high level striking is something that is developed from childhood with lots & lots of training, the power needed to dominate has to be something that's procured over time, even the most athletic females might not be natural strikers & that's what separates Nunes from the pack.

Spencer can thank Nunes from not separating her mind from her soul. She was for sure taking it easy on her from the end of the 4th and the majority of the 5th. She could’ve finished her on the ground anytime and just rode the clock out.

She couldn’t beat any male prefessional fighter but to say the average guy could beat her a** is insane. Any one of those shots Spencer took last night would’ve put an average person to sleep. Full stop.
