Who does Amanda Nunes face next?
Newly crowned UFC Bantamweight Champion Amanda Nunes will no doubt have one of the most difficult fights of her career when she has her first title defence in such an ever changing division. 'The Lioness' made easy work of Miesha Tate in the main event of UFC 200, badly breaking Miesha's nose before using her black belt in Brazilian Ju-Jitsu to lock in a rear naked choke and force Tate to tap out. In such a competitive division, anyone in the top 5 could be the next champ.
Ronda Rousey: Arguably the greatest female Mixed Martial Artist the world has seen, 'Rowdy' Ronda Rousey had not featured in the octagon since her devastating head kick knockout to Holly 'The Preacher's Daughter' Holly in Australia. Ronda, who is the main protagonist in the remake of Roadhouse. Many believe we have seen the last of the America, but others believe an immediate rematch for the Bantamweight championship may be enough to persuade her to come back to the UFC.
Holly Holm: The women to take the title from Rousey, is also the women to have the title taken from her by Miesha Tate. Holm features against Valentina Shevchenko later this month at UFC Fight Night and a win against Shevchenko will definitely warrant her a chance at a title rematch against Nunes. Holm, an excellent striker would take on another excellent striker in the form of Nunes if the pair were to battle.
Cris Cyborg: Another candidate for the greatest female in MMA, Cris Cyborg recently fought and beat Leslie Smith in her UFC debut in Curitiba, Brazil. A scary striker, the former Invicta women's Featherweight champion finds it incredibly difficult to fight at Bantamweight with her inability to make that weight class, leaving her bout with Leslie Smith a Catchweight bout. A Cyborg and Nunes bout would see a battle of Brazilian hard hitters.
Miesha Tate: The former StrikeForce and most recently UFC champion, Miesha Tate will be gunning for a chance to avenge her loss to Nunes. Tate a tremendous wrestler and Ju-Jitsu practitioner, is one of the most profitable and biggest draws in the Bantamweight division, second only to Ronda Rousey, may have to prove herself worthy of a rematch possibly against Cat Zingano or the loser of Holly Holm's and Valentina Shevchenko's fight.
Julianna Pena: Coming off an incredibly impressive victory over Cat Zingano at UFC 200, 'The Venezuelan Vixen' has already called for a title shot. Pena rag dolled Zingano for most of their bout is a fantastic wrestler but may be the most unlikely to be granted a shot at the title with the draw of Rousey, Cyborg and Holm more profitable to the UFC.
