The Lioness’ Best Cards
Amanda Nunes is the GOAT of women’s MMA. No other woman in history has such an untouchable resume, the simultaneous two-weight championship belts, or the ability to wreck anyone who dared stand across the cage. Her TKO of Ronda Rousey is iconic, her folding Cris Cyborg in half in less than a minute cemented her legacy, and Nunes’ sheer fist power was unrivaled, possibly never to be topped.
With Nunes dropping hints about returning to the Octagon after vacating her title and retiring in June of 2023, now seems like a great time to look at her historical body of work and her awesome cards. We pulled from the newly released 2024 Topps Gold Label UFC, as well as some of her most interesting autos and, of course, her 2013 rookie card.
