Respect to her for leaving on top. Sport ain't gonna be the same without her.
she left at the peak of her career, just a legend. 🐐
Greatest female fighter of all time and it's not even close. Class act always, never backed down a fight, Fought the toughest females in the division. What a wonderful champion, no accidents, not a massive marketing push by the company, no controversies outside of the cage, just pure hardcore toughness, skills and lots of heart. Thank you Amanda! You deserve it all.👏🏼👸🏽

Even her loss to Peña was like one of the biggest moments in MMA history. The bar is officially set, and it’s so fucking high there isn’t an active fighter that can reach it. Congrats Lioness!🎉

Well done...... No mention of Valentina Bullet???? Interesting......... I see Bullet winning the belt back in her division then going up and being a double champ before she retires... Valentina is the most disciplined female fighter.... The recent loss was good for her just as Amanda’s loss the Pena was.... Nünez aside from Valentina did not have anyone to challenge her... Looking forward to see mma evolve as the next generation of women will be bigger stronger faster and more intelligent... Well done Amanda .... You truly have beaten everyone and leaving on top after 7 straight years is commendable .... Good vibes to you and fam...

What an amazing woman, she's smart to, everything she's accomplished up to date. she knows now that she is retiring, everything she has learnt so far,is no good unless she passes it on..like she said she has a couple of girls in her gym she wants to train them, to become great athletes like herself.

At the end of R1, in the stool, Irene was asked in Spanish: Does it hurt? (The translator didn't catch it) ...after that she kept touching he face, specifically her nose...That, and her hesitation to fight lead me think Irene came in injured. She also stayed around at the end of the fight in the octagon, like she wanted to be interviewed. I would love to hear from her camp at some point. Congrats to Nunes!
Aldana was asked what are you bringing to the fight, she said MEXICAN. She forgot to bring more than her Mexican head. They always say Mexicans have the hardest head in the fightsports 🤣
Such a good career! So many records smashed and enough money made. Time to finally go chill with family and enjoy the fruits of your labor!

Crazy to only have 20$ on that first fight and making it such a big accomplishment today! A real determined fighter locked in to change her life around!
She went out on top which is fantastic. It would have been cool if she told us it was her last fight in advance as I am sad I missed the PPV. I I wanted to buy this one between Nunez and the Dariush VS Charles fight.but I simply forgot and it did not show up on my feed to remind me until today . She pretty much cleaned out both divisions so who was worth the retirement match? I wanted to see Nunez VS Cyborg II as one of the top 3 take my money fights. I was. Time flies as it was like 8 years ago before she destroyed Ronda and became the lioness but I only really became a fan when she was not too scared to fight Cyborg. Not sure there is anyone in either division who will be champ knowing the best in the world is hanging out with her family and simply allowing them to be shine. Great career Nunez maybe now the UFC Will bribe you with real money if they think they found a worth while fighters in a couple years but it is tough because they pretty much focus on these anorexic types that could use some food in their life to get some knock out power.

I still don't understand why people aren't talking about Holly Holm for the vacant belt, I know she's already scheduled, but she's fought down the rankings for years after her loss to Amanda, and apart from the Viera robbery, she's won every time, INCLUDING ALDANA AND PENNINGTON. I don't know why no one mentions her, I know she's 40 and has had a lot of undeserved title shots but now, when she actually deserves it, no one cares.

Weak fight to leave on tbh Herself and Valentina should have met in the middle at some catch weight with no belts on the line (not that Val has hers atm) and given everyone that fight they wanted to see for the last 6 years. I honestly think she avoided that rematch or even talk of it all this time and given Val just had a loss I thought it might spur her on to try fight her again thinking she had a better shot to get a clear win this time but nope... let my last fight be with someone who's never gotten anything more than a 3 fight win streak and never really been on the 'big stage' before. Bit of dud for me.. still an amazing career by Amanda.
Only fighter to hold and defend two belts
