We mentioned her briefly earlier, but now it's time to fully get into just why Featherweight and Bantamweight Champion Amanda Nunes is seen as the very best to ever step foot in a Women's division inside of the UFC.

You can literally just read off her resume and it tells you exactly what calibre of athlete we're talking about here.

Anyone who can claim to have knocked off Ronda Rousey, Cris Cyborg, Valentina Shevchenko, Holly Holm and Miesha Tate could probably retire right now and be confident that her place as the GOAT wouldn't be touched for quite some time.

Nunes has cemented her legacy by challenging herself to win her bouts in new ways every time she takes to the Octagon.

Faced with a world-class kickboxer in Holm? Beat her by head kick.

Taking on a renowned submission specialist like Tate? Choke her out.

Famous early finisher à la Rousey? Lights out in 48 seconds.

Her ability is unrivalled, her audacity is admirable and the honest truth is that it doesn't look as though anyone on the horizon is set to knock her down a peg or two in the coming years.

Nunes may be the best her divisions will ever see and that sees her safely near the top of this list.
