UFC 200: Amanda Nunes’ Stunner over Miesha Tate Equal Parts Historic, Chaotic
“I feel wonderful”, said Nunes, who along with Tate replaced Jon Jones and Daniel Cormier in the main event after Jones was pulled for a doping violation Wednesday.

Women’s bantamweight champion Miesha Tate and her challenger Amanda Nunes sweat out their remaining pounds, but Tate has a close call during the official weigh-in on Friday.
For now, Nunes enjoys the spoils of finally climbing the UFC mountain and claiming a title, joining Jose Aldo as Brazilian UFC champions. She seemed stuck – unable to beat the biggest star in the sport, but better than just about everybody else. Nunes takes her back and she taps Tate out with a rear-naked choke! She entered the bout as the hottest fighter in the division and the No. 4-ranked women’s bantamweight by ESPN.
Whatever Nunes game planned clearly worked like a charm, as she tagged Tate early, knocked her off her mental balance and then absolutely devoured her unlike anything we’ve seen from Nunes or from Tate before. “Everybody knows that. I respect Miesha a lot and I’m the new champion”, said Nunes after the submission win.
“I’m going to go out there (Saturday) and I’m going to rip her heart out of her chest and stomp on it”, Tate said with a grin. With Conor McGregor faking retirement and Jones suspended, the late addition of Lesnar has become the UFC’s saving grace.
“I wanted to finish the fight, but the guy’s got a coconut head”, Lesnar said. Lesnar, who hasn’t had a UFC fight in five years, defeated Mark Hunt, also by unanimous decision.
The Ultimate Fighting Championship is putting on one of its biggest shows of all time for its bi-centennial show, UFC 200. This will be his second fight in the last three years and it comes against Browne, who I thought a few years ago would be a Heavyweight title contender but hasn’t reached that level just yet.
Nunes came into the bout as a 2-to-1 underdog, according to Odds Shark and her victory only made an already wide-open title picture even more chaotic in the division Ronda Rousey once ruled with an iron fist. “I want to go out there and I want to defend my belt, and I want to make a statement that women’s MMA is awesome”.
