When the G.O.A.T Amanda Nunes retired from MMA and vacated her titles, she created a vacuum in the women’s bantamweight division.

One could imagine that the UFC would immediately put together a title bout, but going into 2024, the belt is still up for grabs.

However, veteran Raquel Pennington is scheduled to face Mayra Bueno Silva for the title on January 20.

The women’s bantamweight division in 2023:

• Number of fights: 19
• Knockouts: Zero
• Submissions: 4
• Decisions: 14
• Other: 1
• Champion at beginning of 2023: Amanda Nunes
• Champion at end of 2023: Vacant
• Fighter to keep an eye on in 2024: Mayra Bueno Silva
