Amanda Nunes just became a two-division champion. Early into her fight against Cris Cyborg, the ‘Lioness’ caught her opponent with a hard punch and followed up with a flurry of strikes to secure her win at UFC 232. On Twitter, pro fighters went crazy over the win.
I say Nunes but everybody is calling me crazy

What a time to be alive. Look at the transformation of Cyborg since the Strikeforce days. She went from being this ferocious mauler type killer, to this lovable caring type killer. #UFC232

People are sleeping on @Amanda_Leoa but I think she is a much better striker. I think she could pick #cyborg apart on the feet. Upset pick right here @ufc #UFC232
