UFC 239 results: Amanda Nunes finishes Holly Holm with vicious head kick KO

If there was any question about Amanda Nunes’ status as the greatest women’s fighter of all time, she just answered it.

Nunes needed less than one round to finish former champion Holly Holm to defend her bantamweight title in the UFC 239 co-main event. Holm was the last remaining women’s bantamweight champion in UFC history who Nunes hadn’t faced yet and now she’s been added to “The Lioness” resume.

The fight came to an end at 4:10 in the opening round and according to Nunes she called her shot after telling her coaches that she wanted to knockout Holm with her own signature head kick.
