In my mind, I think she's the clear #3.

Nunes smashed her in a round and probably has the strongest resume at two weight classes, and Shevchenko has arguably fought the toughest women overall, so these would be my first two picks.

But who else has had the longevity and the devastation?

Maybe Weili?
 
I don’t waste time rating any female fighter as the “GOAT.” They just haven’t had enough time to develop to worry about it yet
 
I'll be honest, GOAT rankings in a sport that's only realistically been around for such short amount of time is lame.

Aside from the fact that the discussions are the same repetitiveness.
 
who knows anything is possible in next few years but right now she is in top 5
 
#1 without a doubt. If Amanda didn't lose to Pena and also hung around longer than maybe she would supplant Cyborg, but Cyborg is the WMMA GOAT hands down.
 
I give her the 2 spot behind Nunes. There aren't enough to even talk about a WMMA GOAT top 10.
 
#2 behind Nunes. Shevchenko has a better resume, but Cyborg played just a humongous role for WMMA when it was still very much a niche of a niche. Valentina, despite her decade long run in the UFC, hasn't really achieved larger relevance.

I’d say more people know Shevchenko than Cyborg at this point. Cyborg’s career is busting up cans, and calling smaller fighters cowards for not moving up to face her.
 
Somewhere between Carla Esparza and Raquel Pennington.

#5 is where I put her. This is on account of 2 failed PED tests, and the fact that for as much longevity as she has, she doesn’t have many great wins. She’s fought very few true WFWs, and many of the opponents she has fought weren’t even elite in the WBW and WFLW weight classes they came from.
