Champion in the lightweight Brazilian Amanda Nunes (16-4) has won a technical knockout in the fifth round of American racquet Pennington (9-6) at the UFC 224 tournament in Rio de Janeiro.
Núñez successfully started the first round, causing a tough low-kick who dropped the opponent down. After that Amanda continued to work as the first number in the rack and again shot down the opponent from the legs after another low-kick. Brazil continued to dominate the rack and beat the rival, which clung to the corner and was afraid to leave it. Only in the second half of the round, the American began to counterattack more often, but the Brazilian club continued to resemble a skating rink.
In the second round, Núñez continued to dominate, and the rival barely walked the octagon, as he was injured as a result of missing low-cues. Brasilika confidently won the rack until it was transferred to the parter. However, on the deck, the American could not do anything.
The third round began again with the attacks of the champion, but the rival began to more strictly respond. In the course of his attacks, Núñez also held a teykdoun. In the party, the Brazilian also did nothing, forcing the referee to raise the girls in the rack.
In the fourth round, Pennington was already more successful, but she still did not intercept the rival control. In the middle of the round, Brazilian held its second runway, but Americans managed to climb. However, Nunness continued to beat the pretender near the net, and knee attacks caused a large dissection.
The end of the match occurred in the fifth round, when Núñes scored a bloody rival from above and forced the referee to stop the fight.
