Best female champion ever?

[Geniusss]

Imma just leave the numbers out there and you can make your ranking.

-Valentina Shevchenko (FLYW): 7 title defenses in a row, 4 finishes
-Ronda Rousey (BW): 6 title defenses in a row, 6 finishes
-Amanda Nunes (BW): 5 title defenses in a row, 6 title defenses overall, 3 finishes
-Joanna Jędrzejczyk (SW): 5 title defenses in a row, 1 finish
-Rose Namajunas (SW): 2 title defenses overall
-Zhang Weili (SW): 1 title defense
​

Julianna Peña, Jessica Andrade, Carla Esparza, Holly Holm, Nicco Montano, Miesha Tate and Alexa Grasso are girls that have got the title but have no title defenses (yet).

I'm not even going to count the FW division since that one has always been a joke (can't even make a top 5 out of it).

So the one with the most title defenses is Valentina (7), the one with the biggest finishing rate is Ronda (100%) and the one who has fought the toughest competition idk because that one is subjective but I usually hear ppl putting Amanda in that regard

 

[Arm Barbarian]

Val is definitely the better skilled champ, but Amanda has the bigger names on her resume, including Val (though admittedly with a big size advantage).

 

[Jose Beehive]

Amanda for me

 

[Joshuaace]

Amanda, val, Joanna.....then Holly for Me.

If Amanda really is retired, I'd see 40+yo Holm as the favorite to be the next to wear either of those belts

 

[Xuh]

Carla Esparza
winning the belt 2x as an undersized (really, an entire division below) wrestler, in the toughest women's div. Holds a win over the champion in the division above (i.e. 2x her natural weight class)


Khabib cut huge amounts of weight for a reason...

 

[goOb]

Amanda, Shevchenko, Ronda, Joanna, Carla, Rose, Weili... In that order for me.

-Amanda Nunes (BW): 5 title defenses in a row, 6 title defenses overall, 3 finishes​

Wat

 

[Geniusss]

Wat

Wym what?

She got 5 title defenses in a row at BW, then lost the title, then got it back, added 1 more title defense and retired

 

[Davidjacksonjones]

What about that Cyborg chick?
Isn't she super good or something as well with a few title defenses and belts from different orgs

 

[Daniel_LaRusso]

Holly for me

Ananda's 3-0 against the two girls with the most defenses.


Plus Cyborg

So you're just planning to ignore her other title fights? She has 8 title defenses.

 

[Exarch01]

I agree WFW has always been a shallow division, but Cyborg is like one of the original founders of WMMA. Hardcore fans knew about Meg Fujii, and Gina Carano was/is sexy as fuck, but Cyborg was the one racking up highlight reel KOs that brought people in. So I think you have to consider her.

And then you have to add Cyborg to Nune's resume, and I think that makes Nunes the clear women's #1 GOAT champ.

My queen is so perfect:

Honorable mention:

I just said I'm not counting the FW division because that's not even a division, they can't even make a top 5 out of it

 

[ninja boot]

I think i have irrational hate for Ronda as i don't give her the same credit most of these other woman deserve. She does deserve acknowledgement for being ahead of her time i suppose.

The fact that she had a stoppage in every single win is very impressive, 100% finishing rate

And she really fought the best they had at the time

Lmao it's hilarious that to make your shitty thread relevant you decide to discard two entire years of a fighters career.

There are two threads today trying to downplay Nunes career achievements after she retired and they are both by you. Lol salty Valentina Stan?

 

[HavokHarmon]

Lmao yup. She’s 11-1 in title fights but according to ts has 5 title defenses, figure that math out.
