UFC 239 PPV (pay-per-view) took place last night (Saturday, July 6, 2019) from inside T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
UFC two-division queen Amanda “The Lioness” Nunes, put her Bantamweight title on the line against former UFC 135-pound champ and awesome striker Holly “The Preacher’s Daughter” Holm. The referee was Marc Goddard.
The fighters were very cautious at the beginning. Holly Holm landed few solid punches, but Nunes took her down in the middle of the first round. Holly got up almost instantly, but it seems she was too relaxed. And unfortunately for Holly, she didn’t keep her hands high.
Amanda kicked her hard to the face, it was a brutal right high kick. Holly went down like a sack of potatoes, Amanda landed few punches on the canvas, but it was totally unnecessary. A knockout win for Amanda Nunes, she kept her belt, amazing match.
Final Result: Amanda Nunes KO’s Holly Holm (right high kick, 4:10, round 1)
