Nunes vs. Holm

Round 1: Loud chants for Holly Holm rang out as both fighters began cautiously. Holm was in Southpaw while Nunes was in the orthodox position. Holm got a loud pop with a right-hand strike that may have woken Nunes up. Nunes used a lot of feints as both women looked to get a read of each other's range.

Holm came in with a combination but missed following which both women exchanged knees in the clinch. The fight went to the ground and back up again within seconds. Holm and Nunes fired side and front kicks as the fans continued to be high on Holm. Nunes got - and landed - a left and began to find her groove as the volume of strikes kept improving.

And then it came - a head kick out of nowhere. Holm got rocked and her knees just gave up.

Result: Amanda Nunes def. Holly Holm via TKO (head kick and punches) (4:10, Round 1)

Another performance that validates Nunes' claim for being the greatest female mixed martial artist of all time.
