Amanda Nunes’ biggest win in the UFC thus far is now available for free.
For thirteen years, Cris Cyborg was an unstoppable machine inside of the octagon. The former UFC Women’s Featherweight Champion had previously captured the belt in Strikeforce and Invicta Fighting Championship with her notable victories being over Gina Carano, Marloes Coenen, and Charmaine Tweet.
When Cyborg made the transition over to the UFC in 2016, the 34-year-old continued on with her dominant performances against Leslie Smith and Lina Länsberg, before winning the 145-pound belt at UFC 214. The Brazilian successfully defended the title against Holly Holm (via unanimous decision at UFC 219) and Yana Kunitskaya (via TKO at UFC 222) before meeting Nunes at UFC 232.
Nunes was entering the contest with some strong momentum herself, as the two-division champion scored impressive victories over Miesha Tate (via submission at UFC 200), Ronda Rosuey (via TKO at UFC 207), Valentina Shevchenko (via split decision at UFC 215), and Raquel Pennington (via TKO at UFC 224). Despite being a credible bantamweight champion, many still viewed the 32-year-old as the underdog going into the superfight against Cyborg.
Nunes cemented herself as the pound-for-pound greatest female fighter in MMA by getting a KO victory over Cyborg in the first round. Check out the huge win below:
