Nobody hands you anything at women's bantamweight. Amanda Nunes — "The Lioness" to fight fans — has built a 23-5 record the hard way, one fight at a time since leaving Brazil's regional scene.
The game is built on grappling: 2.7 takedowns per 15 minutes, and opponents spend rounds defending instead of fighting. 4 submission wins say what happens when the defense slips.
Most recent outing: a win over Irene Aldana via decision - unanimous. Business handled.
At 38, the window is what it is — which tends to make every remaining fight more honest, and more dangerous.
