The bantamweight women’s champion shocked the world as she knocked out Cris Cyborg to become the two weight division women’s champion. Cris Cyborg came out swinging wild and got pulled into the game plan of Nunes who is known to rock her opponents in the first round. Cyborg looked emotionally invested and wanted to quickly finish the fight, but Nunes with her crisp striking lands heavy shots and drops Cyborg couple of times. Cyborg not resorting to take a step back continues to move ahead but gets caught with an overhand right.
Speaking after her win, Nunes said “Yeah for sure, when I sign for this fight I say this what I want, I know I can win. I’m the first female two-champ in the UFC,” Nunes said. “I am the greatest.”
