Amanda Nunes wins her first professional bout via knockout in 11 seconds. Watch the full fight here.
Amanda Nunes aims for her second UFC title defense Saturday, July 8, at UFC 213, where she faces top contender Valentina Shevchenko in a rematch.
Well before Nunes held UFC gold, however, she competed on the regional scene, instantly standing out as a fighter to watch moving forward.
For most fighters, simply winning on the regional level isn't enough to ascend to the big leagues—you have to win impressively, fight after fight.
That's certainly what Nunes did.
After Nunes lost her professional debut via armbar in 2008, she rattled off six straight victories, all via knockout.
The first of those came against Paty Barbosa.
If you liked Ronda Rousey for her sub-one-minute finishes, you'll love this one. Don't blink.
