A women’s bantamweight title fight between Amanda Nunes and Germaine de Randamie took place at tonight’s UFC 245 pay-per-view event in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Nunes had most recently defended her bantamweight crown at July’s UFC 239 event in Las Vegas, where she scored a TKO victory over former champion Holly Holm.
Meanwhile, Germaine de Randamie entered UFC 245 on the heels of an impressive first round knockout victory over perennial contender Aspen Ladd.
Tonight’s highly anticipated women’s title fight proved to be a one sided affair. Although Germaine de Randamie had her moments, which included landing a question mark kick and securing a very tight guillotine and armbar, it was Amanda Nunes who dominated the duration of this twenty-five minute scrap.
After five rounds of hard fought action, most of which was spent on the canvas thanks to the takedowns of Amanda Nunes, ‘The Lioness’ was awarded a unanimous decision victory from the judges in attendance.
