The world stopped less than a minute. And when he shot again, the UFC had a new featherweight champion. Bahian Amanda Nunes, who already held the organization's weight belt, went into history and became the first woman to hold two UFC belts by eliminating Cris Cyborg in the 51st round of the first round at Los Angeles. First Brazilian to sign, win and become champion of the UFC, Amanda Nunes was zebra at the bookmakers. The Bahian, who managed to defend the bantamweight title four times, won the eighth consecutive victory of the race. With this feat, she becomes the third athlete in total to have two titles simultaneously – alongside Conor McGregor and Daniel Cormier. Cyborg had not lost 13 years and a month. No fewer than 21 athletes had tried to defeat her without success. Even today.
– Everything revolves around me, I will not be able to do it, but I will not do it. Unbelievable. Help me to believe! I hoped that the fight would be like that. I am the first double champion of the UFC. I said sertia like that. Dana, I want my place in the Hall of Fame. I am a lioness and the lionesses do it. I feel the blood. My trainer always tells me to stay calm so that I can see everything. My trainer, Anderson Franca, told me to wait until she was desperate to play my backhand. I knew I had to stay calm, that when I put my hand to her, she would feel it. I also knew that when I hit that shot, I would set the stage for victory.
Here's the whole fight: Cris Cyborg vs. Amanda Nunes.
The fight began frantically, the two fighters seeking a frank dispute. Cyborg took the lead, but Amanda Nunes showed that her precision could make the difference. After being punched, Amanda hit two shots that stunned Cyborg for the first time. The curitibana has increased, but a series of strokes in sequence has ended with the greatest reign of the female MMA in history. Cyborg screamed, falling face down, did not see Amanda Nunes climb into the looks of the octagon that was already celebrating her victory.
