UFC 224 Amanda Nunes vs Raquel Pennington
UFC is back in Brazil for the UFC 224 event, loaded with fights. We now have the official UFC 224 results all the way from the Jeunesse Arena in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
In the main event of the night, Amanda Nunes successfully defended her UFC women’s bantamweight title against Raquel Pennington.
It wasn’t pretty, but Amanda Nunes dominated Raquel Pennington in the entire fight. Pennington didn’t appear intimidated at the start but an early powerful leg kick by Nunes sent her to the floor. Pennington was able to get quickly back to her feet, but Nunes pushed forward and looked to trap Pennington against the fence.
Nunes remained in control on the most of the fight, simply proving herself to be the better striker.
Nunes (16-4 MMA, 9-1 UFC) has now defended her title 3rd time. Pennington (9-6 MMA, 6-3 UFC) sees a four-fight winning streak snapped.
