UFC 213 Free Fight: Amanda Nunes Dethrones Miesha Tate
Watch Amanda Nunes dethrone Miesha Tate with a first-round stoppage ahead of her UFC 213 title defense July 8.
UFC women's bantamweight champion Amanda Nunes is a force.
After suffering her only UFC setback to Cat Zingano at UFC 178 in September 2014, Nunes regrouped and came back better than ever.
Three victories later, Nunes contended for Miesha Tate's title at the historic UFC 200 event in July 2016. Less than four minutes into the contest, the bantamweight division had a new champion, and "The Lioness" has proudly defended her throne once since, defeating Ronda Rousey at UFC 207.
Now, Nunes looks for back-to-back defenses Saturday, July 8, at UFC 213, where she faces Valentina Shevchenko in a rematch of their UFC 196 scrap. Nunes won that previous encounter via unanimous decision.
