Coach Jason Parillo believes his star pupil Cristiane Justino was her own worst enemy against Amanda Nunes in their title fight at UFC 232, as she disrespected the ability of the featherweight champion in allowing herself to be drawn into a brawl.
The champ-versus-champ superfight -- the first of its kind between female fighters in the Ultimate Fighting Championship -- ended in a stunning first-round finish, with Nunes knocking out the favored “Cris Cyborg” in 52 seconds. After Nunes landed the killer blow and the referee called a stoppage to the fight, Parillo could be seen cageside, holding his face in reaction to what had just transpired.
