UFC 207: Amanda Nunes Knocks Out Ronda Rousey in 48 Seconds!
It wasn’t all that long ago that Ronda Rousey was considered the most dominant female MMA fighter in the world.
That time has now decisively passed.
Defending bantam weight champion Amanda Nunes trounced Rousey to the point that the UFC 207 title fight was stopped after just 48 seconds tonight.
Nunes was widely regarded as an underdog, but Rousey never had a chance once she touched gloves with the Brazilian known to fans as the Lioness.
Nunes pummeled Rousey with a barrage of jabs, putting the former champ on a defensive campaign from which she never recovered.
At the 48-second mark of the first round of what was billed as the matchup of the year, the judges took mercy on Rousey and called the fight in favor of her 28-year-old opponent.
A stunned Rousey kept her eyes cast to the ground as the fight was announced in favor of an opponent she had sworn to beat in her few media appearances of the past 13 months.
Rousey lost the UFC bantamweight title when she was defeated by Holly Holm in November of 2015.
Shortly thereafter, Holm lost the title to Miesha Tate, who later lost it to Nunes.
Rousey’s comeback effort was billed by both her PR team and the UFC simply as “the return.”
It seems Ronda wasn’t the only one who underestimated Amanda Nunes.
Born in Brazil but trained in New Jersey and Tennessee, Nunes now boasts a record of 14-4.
While a number of MMA analysts expected her to offer a formidable challenge to Rousey, few – if any – expected her to make such short work of the sport’s most recognized figure.
As early as this week, Rousey was sharing chiseled selfies on Instagram in order to demonstrate that she was in the best shape of her career and send a message of intimidation to her less-celebrated opponent.
It now seems that message fell on deaf ears.
Rousey was open about her struggle with depression following her defeat by Holm, causing many to question if she was emotionally fit to return to the ring.
The future of her career now remains uncertain.
At the moment, it looks as though UFC founder Dana White might do best to hang his future hopes on the newly anointed queen of the octagon, Amanda Nunes.

Ronda Rousey Shares Shredded Selfie Ahead of Amanda Nunes Fight
Tonight, Ronda Rousey will return to the UFC octagon for the first time since her crushing defeat at the hands of Holly Holm back in November of 2015.
Not only was it her first loss, the stunning upset marked only the second time one of Rousey’s fights lasted longer than one round.
Rousey has spoken openly about spiraling into depression in the wake of her defeat by Holm, and many have questioned her emotional fitness to return to the ring.
Needless to say, a lot is on the line for the 28-year-old fan favorite, but based on her latest Instagram upload it seems Rousey is more than ready to square off against Amanda Nunes tonight in Las Vegas.
According to Rousey’s caption, the photo on the left was taken five days prior to her February 2015 fight against Cat Zingano, which Rousey won by submission in an astonishing 14 seconds.
The pic on the right was taken five days before tonight’s matchup against Nunes.
Rousey captioned her post “#FearTheReturn,” and it looks like Nunes should be doing exactly that.
Prior to her fight against Holm, Rousey was criticized for focusing too much on the public relations aspect of her career.
She made cameos in films like Furious 7 and Entourage.
She appeared in commercials, worked red carpets, and happily gave on-the-street interviews to tabloid-y outlets like TMZ.
These days Rousey is all business.
She’s made few public appearances in the 13 months since her loss to Holm, and she left yesterday’s weigh-in without offering a word to the press.
Adding to the pressure is the fact that Rousey has already announced her retirement plans, describing the Nunes bout as “one of my last fights” in an interview with Ellen DeGeneres last month.
Clearly, the pressure is on for Rousey’s long-awaited return, and many believe that if she’s able to recapture her title,
As though she needed added motivation, Rousey – an outspoken Bernie Sanders supporter – engaged in a public feud with Donald Trump last year, with the president-elect stating he’s “glad” she lost to Holm.
We’re sure Rowdy would like to take advantage of this opportunity to show the Donald that some of his critics are made of the toughest stuff there is.
