In the UFC 200 main event, Amanda Nunes never gave Miesha Tate room to breathe, rocking her with strikes early in the first round and then finishing Tate with a rear-naked choke. Professional fighters were impressed with the new UFC women’s bantamweight champion’s performance on Twitter.
This moment will be too big for Nunes. First title fight, at #UFC200, first 5 rounder. She will break.Miesha has been on multiple huge PPVs.

#Nunes can win if she finishes #Tate before the 3rd #UFC200

Here’s how I see the fight: nunes drops Tate rd 1. They scrap rd 2 and Tate gets the back and chokes nunes rd 2 or 3 #UFC200

Nunes, fast starter. Excellent striker w/great speed & strength. Tends to fade. Tate, slow starter. Not so fast but smart & gets stronger.
