Not many people expected Amanda Nunes to win on Saturday night but not only did she win, but she did so in spectacular fashion.
Nunes, the reigning UFC women’s bantamweight champion, added the featherweight title to her collection when she shockingly knocked out Cristiane Justino 51 seconds into their co-headlining encounter at UFC 232 in Los Angeles on Saturday night.
Nunes stood toe-to-toe with the woman virtually everybody proclaimed as the most frightening female striker to ever walk the earth and prevailed. Nunes rocked “Cyborg” with a brisk left-right combination to the face at the outset and continued to shatter her opponent’s equilibrium with powerful punches until it was over.
