The first woman to hold two UFC titles at once and the most decorated champion in the sport's women's history, Nunes retired in the cage after beating Irene Aldana in June 2023. She fights with rare knockout power for the division — thirteen of her twenty-three wins are stoppages by strikes — backed by a judo-and-jiu-jitsu base she rarely needed. She came out of retirement to challenge Kayla Harrison for the bantamweight title at UFC 324, but Harrison's neck injury scrapped the bout and it had not been rebooked as of August 2026.
