10 Best MMA Fighters Of The 2010s

5. Amanda Nunes

Decade Record: 15-3

Amanda Nunes is an absolute animal inside the cage, a ferocious striker with unparalleled tenacity and power in the women's game. Short in stature, the fiery Brazilian makes up for any height or reach disadvantage by her sheer determination and aggression to get inside her opponent and pummel them all over the cage, often controlling the pace and positioning of the fight at will.

Nunes has well and truly crafted one of the most impressive and one-sided careers in women's MMA history.

Since losing to Cat Zingano in 2014, Nunes hasn't lost a single fight since, setting the record for the longest UFC winning streak in any women's division, and fifth longest regardless of gender, with ten on the trot.

Although knocking off names like Valentina Shevchenko (twice), Miesha Tate for the Bantamweight Championship, Raquel Pennington, Holly Holm and Germaine de Randamie is no small order, it's her two sub-60 second destructions of Ronda Rousey and Cris Cyborg that stand above the rest.

Two fighters thought to be the best female fighters on the planet at different times, both absolutely dismantled and crushed by Nunes. Those two wins in particular, as well as becoming the first female dual-division champion have cemented her own legacy as the women's GOAT.
