Amanda Nunes' UFC 256 Opponent Revealed
Amanda Nunes is about to defend her featherweight title for the second time.
There is no denying that Amanda Nunes is one of the greatest UFC fighters in the history of the league. She currently holds two titles as she is the bantamweight and featherweight champion. It’s fairly rare to hold a title in two separate divisions, so Nunes’s accomplishment is certainly significant. Not to mention, she is the first fighter to ever successfully defend a title in two different divisions. Nunes has yet to be defeated in 11 matches, which is a streak that began all the way back in 2014. Needless to say, everyone wants a shot at being the person to finally hand her a loss.
