Amanda Nunes once again demonstrated why she is one of the greatest fighters in history after defeating Holly Holm in the co-main event of UFC 239. The Brazilian took the victory in the first round by technical knockout.
After studying her, Amanda Nunes waited for Holly Holm to lower her guard to connect a high kick. The blow hit the 'Preacher's Daughter' directly and the champion finished her off with a couple more strikes on the ground. This was her fourth title defense in the bantamweight division.
