Amanda Nunes Brazilian standout Amanda Nunes took a big step towards a UFC women’s bantamweight title shot with a quick and dominant victory on Aug. 8 at UFC Fight Night 73 in Nashville. Nunes picked up her second straight first-round stoppage win by submitting Olympic silver Sara McMann with a rear-naked choke. Nunes (11-4 MMA, 4-1 UFC) has been on the cusp of UFC title contention for more than a year, but a disappointing loss to future title challenger Cat Zingano in September delayed Nunes’ journey to the belt. Against McMann (8-3 MMA, 2-3 UFC), Nunes put forth her best showing to date en route and scored her biggest career victory.
