McGregor was delighted with Amanda Nunes’s fight against Julianna Peña during UFC 277; check out details about what the American said about the fight!
Conor McGregor was enchanted by Amanda Nunes after the Brazilian’s show at UFC 277. The Irishman used social media to make a big statement for one of the greatest fighters in MMA history. “The Notorious” revealed that he saw a great similarity in the bantamweight and featherweight champion’s fights against Julianna Pena and recalled the iconic fights against Nate Diaz.
Amanda Nunes became a reference for McGregor. The American used his social networks, last Sunday, 31, to praise the fight that the Brazilian made against Julianna Peña. The match made Notorious so excited, that he took the opportunity to remember the rivalry with Nate Diaz, when the two were in the fight for titles and “Notorious” carried two belts.
“It’s crazy to me how similar last night’s women’s bantamweight title fight… to the fights between McGregor and Diaz. In fight number 1, the favorites, the best in the sport, Amanda Nunes and I, showing pure courage and willingness to fight, are taken by surprise, swallow some punches, then the tide turns and they are strangled. Now on the return, the rematch: confidence is showing, tenacity is still there, Amanda Nunes’ more focused work, as well as mine“, he highlighted.
“The reason I say this is because at the end of the first one, (Diaz said) “I’m not surprised motherfuckers”, and now again Julianna says “I’m not surprised motherfuckers” *”. And man… the second fight was exactly the same! (Amanda) Taken down multiple times, better prepared, calculated the hits better, knocked down multiple times, but the bravery is still there! She follows Amanda’s face, he follows my face… Some fights are iconic, it’s the mixed martial arts fights we want to witness. It’s crazy, double champion, double champion, “I’m not surprised“, he added.

The UFC saw this Saturday night, the 30th, an impressive fight between Amanda Nunes and Julianna Penã. The moments of tension began long before the start of the fight, as the American stayed for seven months with the title of bantamweight champion.

Amanda Nunes practically didn’t give the American breathing space throughout the five rounds. The Brazilian showed her technique, fled the dangers, left her rival’s face all full of blood and won the unanimous decision, being 50-45, 50-44 and 50-43, to hold again the title of the category up to 61.2kg and go back to being the “champ-champ” of UFC.
Lots of power and precision in the blows to win back the belt! 🏆 💪
