Fighter on Fighter: Breaking down UFC 207’s Amanda Nunes

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Bantamweight queen, Amanda Nunes, will throw down opposite Judo Olympian, Ronda Rousey, this Friday (Dec. 30, 2016) at UFC 207 inside T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Prior to entering UFC, Nunes’ record against top competition wasn’t all that great. She won three of her first four bouts inside the Octagon in dominating fashion, and the Brazilian received a big step up in competition.

“The Lioness” thrived.

In her last three bouts, Nunes quickly mauled both Sara McMann and Miesha Tate, as well as handed the No. 2-ranked Valentina Shevchenko her first and only UFC loss.
