Will she still have a very good claim to be the women's GOAT? Will she have to share the GOAT status with Valentina? Should Julianna be considered one of the GOATs too?
Yeah because Valentina beat everybody on Nunes’ resume. Including the previous undisputed divisional and in the eyes of most mma watchers.. The overall wmma GOAT (Cyborg) or Ronda.. Go ahead and pick one.She was already neck and neck with Valentina, after the first loss I think most would say Valentina, after a second loss it's 100% Valentina.
To casuals it will mean "oh she was never that good", to actual fans that understand styles make fights, you already know anyone can be beaten by a certain style. Nunes is also at the end of her career and will retire soon win or lose, to become a coach. DC lost to Stipe twice at the end of his career, that doesn't mean everything he did gets called into question.
A goat status should not be so fungible that it can be swapped out by any one fight.Will she still have a very good claim to be the women's GOAT? Will she have to share the GOAT status with Valentina? Should Julianna be considered one of the GOATs too?

My personal opinion, she's already the GOAT. She's achieved a lot in the women's division. Two weight champion, multiple defences etc.
Yes she lost to Pena but it was bound to happen someday. Look at Anderson Silva, he's still considered one of the GOATs despite the losses.
Even if Nunes loses, it's not going to affect her legacy one bit. There's always a time when the next up and comer will dethrone the champ.
And that compares to holding and defeating all comers at two different weight classes for several fights??I don’t know but maybe thr UFC shouldn’t keep hyping every woman that wins more than 5 fights in a row as the greatest of all time.
Anyone can have an off night. If Amanda’s legacy is ruined, though, so are those of everyone she beat including Val <Lmaoo>
