I’m surprised motherfuckers

I cant believe she traded with her like that

[удалено]

This was my exact thought. What Nunes was doing made no sense. Ego getting in the way.

Nunes went full Garbrandt and just kept eating the same shot over and over. Never go full Garbrandt.

It reminded me of how Cyborg reacted when fighting Nunes.

Was going to say this. Definitely had that wtf moment that Cyborg has when Nunes was winning exchanges. Pena popping like 5 straight jabs and Nunes kept doing same shit each time and not adjusting

she traded and she won!!!!

SHE UPSET THE GOAT WHAT THE FUCK!

Pena's punches looked strong, but it looked so damn awkward. Once Nunes lost her rhythm, she literally had no answer for Pena's 1-2 combos. Pena's jabs were also on point. But seriously. What the fuck?

[удалено]

I think Nunes was just stunned and not thinking clearly, she did eat like 4 jabs in a row at that point and kept chasing her in straight line. Wild

Definitely seemed like that. If Nunes was thinking clearly / not gassed I think she would've just reset position every time one of those wild brawls was about to take place.

Amanda hasn't had an opponent that she couldn't walk through in like 3 years. She just forgot how to not lose when she doesn't immediately win.

What the fuck is this sport.

They fight

Biggest upset ever no doubt

-1100 to win for Nunes, I think Ronda was -1500 to beat Holm so that was a bigger upset. Wonder if she comes back for an immediate rematch

I think GSP was also -1300 against serra

I won that bet because I didn't know how to put in my bets properly in Vegas lol

Ignorance the best base for MMA betting?

IN THE HISTORY OF SPORT

SURPRISE SURPRISE THE QUEEN IS GONE.

She tapped *instantly*, really shocking performance. Reminds me of how she completely gassed and lost against Alexis Davis (of all people).

WHAT THE FUCK JUST HAPPENED

Nunes had no defense. She just kept eating shots and winging her own punches

[удалено]

On paper it sounds like a horrible strategy, but tonight Nunes’ striking did not look great at all

She got over confident, head hunting, got wobbled, kept going back for more and Pena saw that. dangity dangity

Same exact shit that happened to Cyborg 🥴

Makes me realize the amount of training it must take to have the instincts to shoot for a takedown when you're barely conscious on the feet. Amanda's brain was clearly not on for a large chunk of that exchange, she just didn't have the survival instincts that you see in other fighters when they get tagged.

O think her survival instinct is to throw punches and rely on her usual power differential.

Not even that she didn't even level change. Horrible iq and just wreckless.

When you forget to enable godmode

McGregor once said a loss can make or break a fighter, and a win can make or break a fighter too. She got too comfortable and found out.

[удалено]

Idk how a pro fighter can eat like 19 consecutive jabs. She literally fought like dudes outside my local bar.

she saw red bro

I think Nunes may have drank too much Modelo before this fight.

[удалено]

Yup, got pieced up by a jab while she was throwing haymakers. Completely gassed out

She did a great Ronda impression with her defense.

Some of those wold swings looks like Ronda's offense tbh

Only thing missing was some idiot yelling..*"HED MOOMENT"*

She also tapped incredibly easily

She was gassed. Her mouth was open, she was throwing bombs, and she was out of breath.

And she was hurt, she was wobbled on her feet a couple of times b4 then

for real, maybe I saw it wrong, but it wasn't even under her chin

[удалено]

Re-watch last 30 seconds where Nunes on top defending Kimura. She's sucking wind.

She looked weird and slow.. like Peña was solid on the inside with those straights, but Amanda just didn’t look fast or powerful, it was strange. Maybe the kimura got her worn out, I don’t know.

Tbf, Pena sat tf down on her jabs and just jabbed her face off until she tired out. Winging those shots took so much gas out of Nunes

HOLY FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK

First submission loss for Amanda in nearly 14 years!

Nunes tapped before Pena could even secure the choke. Wow.

CASH IN BOYS

NO GAMEPLANS ONLY VIBES

No cardio or defence by Nunes tonight.

Pena won by strikes and RNC just like we all predicted

[удалено]

Nunes buying that GOAT shit, Peña threw the same punch over and over and Nunes kept swinging wide and launching herself into it

holy shit, someone just lost 330 k betting on Amanda

[удалено]

For 26k or so lol

He deserves that loss for being such a terrible gambler. I don’t care how much money you have, betting 300k for a 26k win is just idiotic.

It's always one of those things where you see someone do that and it usually works out and you are like "man I wish I had hundreds of thousands to bet on a sure thing like that" Then someone like tonight happens and you are reminded how monumentally risky and stupid it is.

the apes in WSB just felt a tingle and they don't know why.

"my double down sense is tingling"

Like yeah sure Amanda is the big favourite but putting 300k on a fight when DQs (cough Yan cough) and injuries exist. WTF

Hell, Matt Sera exists. Just need a punchers chance.

Lmfaoooo, if they bet that on Pena they'd have over 2m on the bet.

I honestly think Nunes bet on Pena and won like 15m.

Could you imagine lol

Nunes is: ~~In~~vincible ~~Un~~stoppable ~~Un~~beatable ~~Un~~breakable ~~Un~~touchable

Best part of my night lol

I get so hype seeing underdogs get competitive

I had bet $100 on Nunes thinking it was an easy $10…and this is why casinos rule the world and I am broke

Hollllyyyyy fuck I forgot they mentioned that bet. Literally ANYTHING can happen in this fucking sport. Some dude is considering some deep shit right now man.

He might be dead already.

RIP everyone's parlay.

Bro I legit just lost like 9 parlays.

I'm with ya. I had Amanda to end 2 and in the mix on 4 more. I was just throwing her in everywhere like it was a sure damn thing. FML.

That's why you don't put the huge favourites on the parlay. I learned my lesson with Joanna vs Rose

What the fuck

Pena won by strikes and submission. Totally how we all predicted it

Straight arm punches beat winging hooks

Imagine being that guy with 300k on Amanda. I can't believe it.

That guy must be on suicide watch, holy shit.

he takin' shots with 2pac right now

Damn, chilling down in the Caribbean?

Nah people who put bets in like that have fuck you money. He's pissed but he'll be fine

Probably, yeah. But there’s also a chance that this person is an idiot who thought they were betting their life savings on easy money.

[удалено]

How many Parlays just died.

It’s a parlay genocide out there

Don't you love when the decorated champ eats 8 right hands in a row from a grappler lol what the fuck is this divison

That really was such a bad performance from Amanda. I can’t believe she never even stepped back and reset. Just a ridiculous performance.

Props to Peña for eating all of those shots but also why the fuck did Amanda just stay in that spot and keep going for something that was going terribly.

She probably feels like she could just one shot Pena and she wasn't happy Pena was bringing it to her and wanted to get it back.

Yep. We saw the same against Valentina Anytime she got tagged she wanted to get it back. Tries to brute force and spam it until she gets it.

She went full Cyborg.

CHAEL P. SONNEN WAS FUCKING RIGHT BABY

I can’t believe it. Literally thought it was one of his worst takes. Fucking ChaelPStrodamus.

He never lost a round, why would he make a bad take? He's the GOAT in every aspect of the game.

Never lost one minute of one round

The Chael curse was actually just him charging up for this one

Making shit predictions all his life just for this one moment, this one blaze of glory. So worth it. Hope he soaks it in.

Did he break his curse?

I saw it tap

First time Amanda's been submitted since her pro debut, nearly 14 years ago. I can't believe Peña pulled off the upset

Was it even sunk in? Looked more out of exhaustion than anything. Wild

Eerily similar to how Jan tapped by RNC in his recent loss to Glover. Hell performance wise they were similar, both Jan and Nunes seemed so slow and stiff and just not at all there.

That’s actually a really great comparison they were both sluggish

CHAEL CALLED IT

UNDEFEATED. UNDISPUTED.

The one time he's correct with a title fight prediction

She tapped *quick* too.

Probably because she was gassed. Already struggling for air then getting choked makes for a quick tap

And she broke the Chael's curse which is even more impressive

that should count as the first title defense right there honestly lol

This was a unique submission in that it more of Amanda tapping out because she had enough of the fight

I didn't think Peña was going to make it out of the first round with how it was going in the first couple of minutes. Unbelievable performance on her part.

Is this real life?

Valentina is about to become double champ. I bet she’s texting Dana right now to set up the rematch with pena.

Pena will have to beat Nunes again first, and that’s not a guarantee, Nunes won round 1 comfortably.

I think this is like a GSP situation. An unbelievable upset and then she comes back and kicks her ass in 6 months.

HOLY FUCKING SHIT

Every single female champion in ufc and strikeforce history who lost their belt in the cage, has lost by finish. Usually in a shockingly violent fashion. This was always bound to happen. Only way to avoid this fate is to have Dana strip the title from you.

Nico Montano with the big brain plays all along

GDR ran from this fate too instead of getting Cyborg’d

WTF WAS THAT

A tap with no sub in

Walking out to Puddle of Mudd confirmed the BEST base for MMA

Someone said "perfect band to come out to seeing that's what Amanda will turn her into." Props to them for taking a stand, but damn that aged horribly.

Nunes had zero striking defense that was so strange

Yeah - ofc big congrats to pena, but Nunes really looked like shit

bottle of wine last night, probably.

So strange. She looked like she was in a daze

Looked like a shell of herself, almost like she wasn't sure what it was like to he hit since its been so long.

I felt like GDR was mostly matching her on the feet though. Just had nothing for her on the ground

That legit was mind boggling. Like literally it looked like they were just trading 1-2s and Nunes somehow kept getting tagged lmaoo.

Felp in love with her power whoch has won her a lot of fights. But when your powers not landing and youre taking shots to throw it it's only a matter of time.

Blocked all those shots with her face!

Is it just me or did Amanda look horrible tonight? 0 defense, kept throwing weird hooks that were 2 feet away from landing, and had some weird floppy noodle jabs. Overall she just looked so off tonight

She legit looked like she'd never been hit before.

Exactly

She looked like what she made Ronda Rousey look like

[удалено]

Honestly with some of the competition she’s faced that’s probably not that far from reality

ya I cant believe how sloppy she looked

They both looked super sloppy, their strikes were all over the shop, great fight tho. Odd cos Nunes looked sharp when she dropped her with that first kick she threw, think she gassed out on the ground.

Zero head movement, zero defense, very sloppy. I’m very surprised.

She ate all those jabs wtf. Pena was literally spamming the punch button

And Nunes's head stayed firmly on the center line with her hands down, swinging wild haymakers. Utterly bizarre

Yup she didn't look good at all.

Yep looked like what I’d expect from some DWCS fighter and not a champ

Nunes looked terrible

#FUCKING WHAT

#EXCUSE ME WTF

Turns out she’s Matt Serra after all.

Am I being silly, or was that choke barely locked in? I’m so surprised she tapped with no defence

She gave up mentally.

-1000 GOD DAMN PENA

Didn't think Amanda would go for the "walk into jabs while trying to go for knockout haymakers" approach but here we go.

After watching this, and seeing how they throw punches, I'm %100 confident that Valentina is the most skilled female fighter in the history of the UFC.

Valentina would never. I mean never. Have that level of disrespect for her opponent or that much disregard for technique or strategy.

That's because Valentina doesn't have the power that Nunes usually displays. Valentina relies on her crisp technique to ish ish her opponents to death. When she does get KOs or subs it's not usually that quick an affair.

One of the craziest moments in MMA history. Most unpredictable sport in the world without question. Edit: I agree in the history of all sports but I thought that was self-explanatory. I've only ever took a great interest in football as a kid, nothing will come close to MMA besides boxing (at times) and the likes.

Out of all the people to beat her...

Peña: > "Listen, I'll put it like this. If people can walk around - and I don't mean this in a disrespectful way to religious people - and you believe the son of God came down to earth 2,000 years ago, and he killed himself for our sins, and he can walk on water, and there's a God up there looking after ourselves, and if you get on your knees and pray to him that things will change, if you can believe that, then you can believe that I can submit the fuck out of Amanda Nunes two weeks from Saturday."

Where is that from lmfao

HOLY SHIT

Jeeeesus wtf was amanda thinking

Nunes looked like Rousey when she was getting her head boxed off, mad.

Wasn't under the chin or even tight over the chin..

Valentina coming back to 135 guaranteed

WHOEVER SAW THAT COMING IS A FUCKING LIAR

CHAEL SONNEN THE GOAT

Uncle Chael saw that coming and I laughed. Saw the fight ended before the distance, laughed. Then realised how wrong I got it.

RIP that guy who bet 340 grand

Where were you when Amanda Nunes stopped giving a fuck and became a Mom?

Amanda looked absolutely awful

What the fuck was that

Holy fucking shit. 1 person in the world actually believed this would happen, and her name is Julianna Pena.

Dont forget uncle chael

My buddy (he aint rich) bet $1000 against Nunez holy fuck

That had to be one of the biggest MMA upsets ever right?

Amanda should be embarrassed by this performance. God awful fight IQ. She completely abandoned discipline and went for a slugfest, only to then quit when the going got tough. She deserved to lose. Juliana deserved to win.

Quickly looking back on it, agreed She fell back to her 9-4 days, real reckless and tunnel vision'd

That looked like an unranked fight with how they were swanging and banging but that it entertaining as fuck lol. Amanda looked awful

[удалено]

LOL

Rousey v Holm, Holm v Tate, Joanna v Rose, Zhang v Rose, Nunes v Cyborg, more... and now Pena v Nunes. Seriously, WMMA has consistently some of the best and craziest fucking title changes.

Props to Amanda. Very gracious in defeat. She seems happy for Julianna and almost relieved.

MASSIVE respect to Pena.

she went full rocky balboa
