Last fight and recent form
All eight of her most recent UFC fights were title fights. Here are the latest five.
| Date | Opponent | Result | Method | Round |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 Jun 2023 | Irene Aldana | Win | Decision (unanimous) | 5 |
| 30 Jul 2022 | Julianna Peña | Win | Decision (unanimous) | 5 |
| 11 Dec 2021 | Julianna Peña | Loss | Submission (rear-naked choke) | 2 |
| 6 Mar 2021 | Megan Anderson | Win | Submission (armbar) | 1 |
| 6 Jun 2020 | Felicia Spencer | Win | Decision (unanimous) | 5 |
Her last fight was the win over Aldana at UFC 289 on 10 Jun 2023. UFC 289, UFC 277 and UFC 269 were all title fights at women's bantamweight. The one blemish on this stretch came at UFC 269, where Peña caught her in a rear-naked choke at 3:26 of round 2. Nunes answered at UFC 277 by winning the rematch over five rounds. Her last two fights both went the full five rounds and ended at 5:00 of round 5, against Peña and then Aldana, so the current streak was won on the scorecards rather than by finish.
The earlier part of the run is the reason her name carries weight. She stopped Cris Cyborg with punches in 0:51 at UFC 232, finished Holly Holm with a head kick and punches at UFC 239 and beat Germaine de Randamie by decision at UFC 245.
Three of those title fights, against Cyborg, Spencer and Anderson, were at women's featherweight. Nunes won all three, one by first-round KO, one by first-round armbar and one by decision.

Her two-fight win streak starts with the Peña rematch, and the only loss in her recent run is the submission at UFC 269. Against Harrison she puts a record of 23-5-0 opposite one of 19-1-0, in a division where she has already fought for the title more than once.
