Who do you think the better champion is, and why?

you wouldnt of bought it anywaysMouse never pulled out of a PPV main event after weighing in for bullshit reasons.
It’s mostly fatties who imagine in their heads they’d ever win a fight IRLAnyone who doesn't think MM is a great fighter, and champ can fuck off

Valentina is a natural 125er. And she beat that ass. MM was the first and only champ at flyweight. How could he have beaten former champs when there were none? Rousey did the same thing (winning the belt in a new division) yet she is praised as being a formidable opponent for Nunes. MM lost to Dominic Cruz at 135 in 2011, which is nothing to be ashamed of. If you want to mention the loss to Brad Pickett in 2010, you can. Just don't forget that Cat Zingano bounced Nunes' head off the canvas in 2014.My belief is that the better champion is Nunes - she's faced stiff competition including two former champions, Holm and Ronda, and defeating Valentina a second time (Though it's up there with Jones/Gus decision). Each time she fights, she shows more skill and more heart. I haven't seen her gas out in the first round in a while. While she's had a few bad fights, MM has also lost a few to opponents he should have handily beat. He also hasn't faced the most stellar competition.
I hope the best for both top champions.
I would add caveats to all three of those fights; Johnson was only training twice per week while working a full time factory job (and both of those opponents were an entire weight class bigger than him), and Nunes hadn't learned to pace herself at that point in her career and was dominating Zingano up until gassing out.Valentina is a natural 125er.

Johnson... How many title defenses... But both need a Super-Fight to be challenged.
