UFC 250 results: Amanda Nunes dominates, Cody Garbrandt returns in style

Another UFC pay-per-view is now behind us, and it was an event that certainly delivered excitement – the full results from UFC 250 are in now.

The event was headlined by Amanda Nunes defending her featherweight title against surging Canadian Felicia Spencer. On paper Spencer presented interesting challenges for the champion, but would mostly go on to show her heart. In the first round Nunes established a clear dominance in the stand up, forcing defensive clinches and takedown attempts from the challenger.

Nunes continues to batter a weary Spencer, who admittedly fought her heart out, but who was also clearly outmatched. The bout continued int he same vain for the full five rounds, with Nunes eventually winning a lop-sided decision.

“I wasn’t surprised. I know she was tough,” Nunes said in a nod to her opponent’s toughness. “I knew what she was capable of.”

Nunes has now defended both her bantam- and featherweight titles and has established herself as the greatest female MMA fighter of all time, with wins over all former UFC champions in those two divisions.

Former male bantamweight champion Cody Garbrandt faces Raphael Assuncao in the co-main event. It was a “do or die” fight for Garbrandt, who entered the bout on the tail of three straight KO losses. The first round was a tactical affair, with both fighters measuring distance and finding their rhythm. Garbrandt connected with a hard shot in the second, which was the beginning of the end, as he landed a haymaker at the end of the second round, sealing victory.

Aljamain Sterling made short work of rising star Cory Sandhagen, and Sean O’Malley viciously KO’d Eddie Wineland in other intriguing bantamweight bouts.
