The main event of UFC 207 featured a bantamweight title fight between champion Amanda Nunes and former champion Ronda Rousey. Rousey was returning to action for the first time in over a year after her title loss to Holly Holm.
Holm later lost her title to Miesha Tate who then lost the title to Nunes.
UFC 207 aired exclusively live on PPV.
Ronda Rousey doesn’t appear to have worked on her striking defense much over the past year and change.
Returning to the UFC 13 months after her stunning, one-sided knockout loss to Holly Holm, Rousey was absolutely picked apart by Brazil’s Amanda Nunes at UFC 207 on Friday night.
Nunes, a Florida resident by way of Brazil, steamrolled Rousey with a blistering and savage striking attack, needing just 48 seconds to retain the UFC women’s bantamweight title at Las Vegas’ T-Mobile Arena.
I knew I was gonna beat the s**t out of Ronda Rousey, Nunes said.
