Amanda Nunes defends bantamweight title vs. Germaine de Randamie at UFC 245

Amanda Nunes is not going back up to 145 pounds for her next bout.

The UFC two-division champion will defend her bantamweight title against Germaine de Randamie at UFC 235 on Dec. 14 in Las Vegas, ESPN reported Saturday.

Nunes, who also holds the women’s featherweight belt, is coming off a knockout of ex-titleholder Holly Holm at UFC 239 last month. It was her first fight since winning the 145-pound title with a first-round stoppage of Cris Cyborg last year; Nunes returned to 135 pounds for the Holm defense.

Since becoming a double champ, Nunes has said she intends to defend both of her titles, moving between the two divisions.
