Holm had sniped at Nunes’ lead leg with her characteristic side kick. She was in the middle of one attack when Nunes turned the tables by going high.
It was a sudden and violent end to a fight that started tentatively, with both fighters playing chess on their feet. Nunes eventually opened up with her punches, trying to land heavy hooks. But Holm controlled distance well and even managed to avoid a trip to the canvas when an early clinch resulted in a trip from the champ.
Having beaten all of the women who’ve held the belt in the bantamweight division, Nunes welcomed a trip back to the featherweight division, where she took the belt this past December by ending the reign of champ Cris Cyborg.

But it is still fun to do.

Raquel Pennington

Result: Holm via split-decision
Amanda Nunes vs. Raquel Pennington, UFC 224, May 12, 2018
(For the bantamweight title)
Result: Nunes via TKO at 2:36 of round 2
Advantage: Nunes
While Holm had a tepid UFC debut against Raquel Pennington, Nunes absolutely demolished Pennington. After an uninspiring title defense against Valentina Shevchenko, Nunes had a lot to prove against Pennington. Nunes made the fight with Pennington non-competitive.
Germaine de Randamie
Holly Holm vs. Germaine de Randamie, UFC 208, February 11, 2017
(For the featherweight title)
Result: De Randamie via unanimous decision
Amanda Nunes vs. Germaine de Randamie, UFC: Fight for the Troops 3, November 6, 2013
Result: Nunes via TKO at 3:56 of round 1
Advantage: Nunes
Holm vs. de Randamie is one of the most infamously-bad title fights in UFC history. On the other hand, Nunes made quick work of de Randamie after landing a takedown and reigning down elbows. Honestly, Nunes would have had to have a spectacularity bad performance against de Randamie to not gain the advantage here.
Valentina Shevchenko
Holly Holm vs. Valentina Shevchenko, July 23, 2016, UFC on Fox 20
Result: Shevchenko via unanimous decision
Amanda Nunes vs. Valentina Shevchenko, March 5, 2016, UFC 196
Result: Nunes via unanimous decision
Amanda Nunes vs. Valentina Shevchenko, September 9, 2017, UFC 215
(For the bantamweight title)
Result: Nunes via split-decision
Advantage: Nunes
Neither woman looked particularly good against the current flyweight champion. However, Nunes is officially 2-0 against Shevchenko, with their first fight positioning Nunes for a title shot. It seems that this series is not yet over. While Shevchenko is dominating the flyweight division, her near-miss against Nunes remains a piece of unfinished business.
Miesha Tate
Holly Holm vs. Miesha Tate, March 5, 2016, UFC 196
(For the bantamweight title)
Result: Tate via techical submission at 3:30 of round 5
Amanda Nunes vs, Miesha Tate, July 9, 2016, UFC 200
(For the bantamweight title)
Result: Nunes via submission at 3:16 of round 1
Advantage: Nunes
Holm vs. Tate may have been a much more exciting fight that Nunes vs. Tate; but Nunes’ victory over Take is where this amazing run started. Also, Nunes vs. Tate started off as nice fight on a stacked card, and ended up as the main event of a very (financially) successful pat-per-view. I would recommend a rewatch, but the yellow canvas at UFC 200, is better left in the past.
Ronda Rousey
Holly Holm vs. Ronda Rousey, November 15, 2015, UFC 193

Amanda Nunes vs. Ronda Rousey, December 30, 2016, UFC 207

Result: Nunes via TKO at :48 of round 1
Advantage: Push
This one is tricky, Nunes disposed of Rousey quicker, but Holm stopped time by upending Rousey. Both of these fights serve as bookends in UFC history. Holm gained more from her victory over Rousey, in fact, she is only getting title shots regularly now, because of this fight. For her part, Nunes was virtually invisible during the promotion of UFC 207, but her defeat of Rousey closed the door on the career of one of the biggest stars in UFC history.
Cris Cyborg

Amazingly, beating Ronda Rousey is not the greatest career accomplishment of Amanda Nunes. Cyborg might not have been the star that Rousey was, but her air of invincibility was much greater. The victory over Cyborg, cemented Nunes’ status as the G.O.A.T. of women’s MMA.
