They said what?! Pros react to Amanda Nunes’ head kick TKO of Holly Holm at UFC 239

Now Amanda Nunes has beaten all former UFC bantamweight champions. In stunning fashion, the ‘Lioness’ caught Holly Holm flush with a head kick late into the first round of their bout at UFC 239, following it up with some ground and pound to defend her bantamweight title once again. On Twitter, pro fighters praised her performance.

Can we all@just give nunes the respect for being the first double champ to actually defend the lower belt after winning up a weight class? I’ll delete this tweet if I’m wrong
