It’s not too often that a women’s fight headlines a major UFC card, but that will be the case Saturday night from the organization’s Apex facility in Las Vegas with a featherweight bout between two-division champion Amanda Nunes and Felicia Spencer in the main event of UFC 250. Once again, no fans will be in attendance or this would have been held at T-Mobile Arena in Sin City.
Jon Jones is considered the baddest male mixed martial arts fighter on the planet and is the UFC’s pound-for-pound king. Nunes (19-4) is the female version of both. She has become the new Ronda Rousey of the sport in terms of the most dominant and most popular fighter on the women’s side.
The 32-year-old “Lioness” is from Brazil and hasn’t lost since way back in September 2014 at UFC 178 to Cat Zingano. Nunes won the 135-pound bantamweight title in 2016 with a first-round submission of Miesha Tate, and added the featherweight belt in 2018 with a stunning first-round knockout of another female all-time great, Cris Cyborg – Nunes was a +140 underdog. She became the first woman to become a two-division UFC champion.
