Valentina is fighting 115 pounders who cut less weight to make 125.
Schevchenko has the second most impressive resume among WMMA athletes in the UFC. But if she keeps racking up wins and Nunes retires, she may one day surpass her. I have two hang-ups when it comes to Valentina being the P4P#1 among women. First, she doesn't finish as many fights as Nunes. Second, her fight with Sarah Kaufman. Schevchenko was clearly going to lose against Kaufman and was really lucky it wasn't a 5 round fight. Kaufman is no slouch, but it is a strike against Schevchenko's P4P#1 status, IMO. Nunes has beaten everyone to ever hold the 125, 135 or 145 belts in the UFC (except Nicco...who, let's face it, Nunes would obliterate). I mean, that's just an insane accomplishment.

Based on skill maybe, but you can’t argue Nunes is the WMMA GOAT based on resume. Schev moved up and lost to Nunes while Nunes moved up and flatlined Cyborg.
WTF, it's absolutely the best accomplishment in WMMA history and much better than anything Valentina has ever done.
This is MMA why not outgrapple GDR? Spencer is a solid fighter and but could fight at 135 tbf. Think you're taking a lot away from Amanda cos she kicked out Cyborgs lead leg before the firefight where she got the knockout, she knew what she was doing. That being said idk if a rematch would have gone the same. All in all she's beat everyone but before her so it's hard to say Nunes isn't #1While that part is impressive, then she proceed to panic wrestle GDR for 4 out of 5 rounds, and went to a decision with a bloated 135er in Spencer, she did put Cyborg away in 1 minute, but mostly because Cyborg went into that exchange and got connected (either one could had won that imo), not because of pure skill.
LOL "the best in wmma history." You say that likes its some sort of accomplishment.
