@king_saturn: It's not that she would get beat by men. It's that she is fighting in a much lower class of talent and skill. Ronda was skilled on the ground but limited. Holly was skilled on the feet but limited. The only really impressive win was Cyborg. Minors to the Majors. I don't know how else to express it. I'm not really the best at debating but take this to an mma forum and see if anyone would agree I highly doubt it.
@king_saturn: All those great fighters have losses because they fought other great fighters. That's what happens when you actually face real competition and elite's in the sport. Plus many fought a long time and when you get older and face younger fighters it is going to happen. That doesn't take away from their greatness. I feel like as an MMA fan you should know that.
You won't see any credible place rank her that high for sure.
Well we are comparing Great Fighters to another Great Fighter. In doing that you have to have a measuring stick as to why one is greater than the other. Mine is length of dominance, how they tend to finish or not finish their opponents and number of losses during career. Sure, fighters have losses but the number of losses total can indeed put someone lower in rankings when comparing Great Fighters. Like would you say that Randy Couture or BJ Penn is better than Jon Jones or Daniel Cormier who have significantly less losses even though all four of these men have faced Great Competition ? This is my point. It's how well you do against the Elites that show how great someone is and is not. Amanda has essentially beaten every Female Champion that was considered either the Best or one of the Best in Women's MMA because of this I consider her one of the Greatest regardless of what anyone else says.
Sorry, but again to put it another way you could take the greatest WNBA player but are you going to put her up there with Jordan and Kobe? Definitely not. Same sport but not even close to the same competition. That's what this is.

No way is Nunes one of the Top 3 or 4 fighters ever. That is almost insulting to the many greats in the sport. Best woman ever sure but c'mon. I've seen lists that had her in the top 25 but even that is pushing it.
Name 3 or 4 Fighters you think is better than. I can not.
GSP, Jon Jones, Fedor, Jose Aldo, Randy Couture, BJ Penn, Khabib, Demetrious Johnson, Hendo, Matt Hughes, Stipe, Max Holloway, and many more.
In baseball terms she is like the best Softball player ever and you are comparing her with the greats of Baseball like Ted Williams, Babe Ruth, and Ty Cobb.
