Germaine de Randamie feels she proved a lot in the five rounds she spent with the champ.
The Dutch veteran lost a unanimous decision to Amanda Nunes in a bantamweight title fight at UFC 245 this past December, and though the scorecards were decidedly in Nunes’ favor, de Randamie doesn’t think they told the whole story.
It was Nunes’ grappling that made the difference as she controlled the majority of the fight by grounding de Randamie, an elite kickboxer. At media day for UFC Fight Island 4 on Wednesday in Abu Dhabi, de Randamie talked about what she took away from that encounter and how she feels Nunes approached the contest.
