Two-division UFC champion Amanda Nunes, the greatest performer in the history of women's professional mixed martial arts, has a big — or small, depending on how you view things — reason to celebrate National Daughters Day.

Nunes and her fiancee, fellow UFC competitor Nina Ansaroff, shared on Friday the birth of daughter Raegan Ann Nunes.

As Marc Raimondi of ESPN noted, Nunes holds a winning streak of 11 consecutive bouts, the longest in the history of women's UFC, and the featherweight and bantamweight champion improved to a record of 20-4-0 with a dominant win over Felicia Spencer in June.

Last month, reports surfaced that Nunes will defend the featherweight strap versus Australian Megan Anderson (11-4-0) at UFC 256 on Dec. 12.
