Female UFC star sends fans into frenzy with risque celebration pic
Not only did Amanda Nunes win big at UFC 239, she also won big on social media afterwards.
Nunes beat Holly Holm with an incredible head kick on Sunday, emerging with her belts still around her waist.
And she was keen to show off those belts on social media afterwards, even while she took a shower.
Nunes posted a very risque pic on Twitter, showing her with her back turned in the shower, her belts draped over the railing on the shower door.

Nunes’ incredible KO
Nunes stopped Holm late in the first round to defend her bantamweight title.
A two-division champion on a nine-fight winning streak, Nunes (18-4) remained the pound-for-pound ruler of her sport with her usual devastating flair.
After she floored Holm (12-5) with a perfectly timed kick to the head, she mercilessly finished her with punches on the ground with 50 seconds left in the first round.
"I told my coaches I wanted to knock her out the same way she knocks people out," Nunes said of her opponent, an accomplished kickboxer.
"I did it tonight. She was the only former champion I didn't beat yet. Now I beat her, and I'm very happy."
After her fourth successful bantamweight defense, Nunes said she wants to defend the 145-pound belt next.
UFC President Dana White is trying to book a rematch with long-reigning featherweight champion Cris "Cyborg" Justino, who lasted just 51 seconds against Nunes in December.
"This woman is tough, man," White said of Nunes.
"She's unbelievable. Pound for pound, one of the greatest of all time. But there will be somebody next."
