Is Amanda Nunes the greatest woman to ever fight inside of the UFC Octagon?

Some women have been fantastic strikers, others have had top-class ground/wrestling ability. Yet, few have ever been as competent as Nunes is in all areas of the MMA game.

If you simply take a look at her vast array of finishes inside the cage, it quickly becomes apparent just how diverse an ass-kicking machine 'The Lioness' has been since her UFC debut in 2013.

Despite falling to Cat Zingano earlier on in her career, Nunes has won by TKO, submission, KO or via decision in each of her 12 bouts outside of that loss.

It's gotten to the point where Nunes has become so confident in all aspects of her game that she now dictates exactly how a fight will play out.

If she feels like keeping the clash on its feet, her opponents have no choice but to stand and throw.

If she decides she wants a wrestling match, you better prepare to be rag-dolled around the Octagon.

Few fighters have ever commanded two divisions in quite the way Nunes has the Bantamweight and Featherweight classes. With victories over Ronda Rousey, Cris Cyborg, Valentina Shevchenko, Miesha Tate and Holly Holm all filling out her CV, has another fighter had as dominant a decade as Nunes?
