This truly is a fight we are thankful for
I’m surprised the UFC even agrees on that 😂
Ronda made a fool out of herself when she lost to Holly and Amanda.
Bro this was literally my thought clicking on this video lmao
Such disrespect for what she did. You get in there and do what she did.
😂😂😂
This was not a fight... it was a beating!😂
Pure bullying. Chased the champ out of MMA.
It was a massacre.
@@africaart 🤣launched out of UFC like Team Rocket🌠
@@BboyTurok1990 I don't blame her for leaving after that...
Vite fait Bien fait
“She lit Ronda up like a Christmas tree” 😂😂😂😂😂
Yeah, it definitely looked like Christmas!🎄Instead of HO HO HO, Ronda was saying OH OH OH!!!🤣
HAHAHAAHAHA@@RickMichaels-if5eq

Every punch that Amanda landed, you can see Ronda's face getting destroyed.
Herb Dean and his love for early stoppage!
I think Amanda broke Ronda's nose in this fight
lmao @@Mark_106
Yes
No kidding every time Amanda throws a punch it's like a heat-seeking missile to Rhonda's face.
I’m actually thankful for this fight. Ronda was unbearable
She didn’t even wanna touch gloves
Two of my favourites: Nunes and Holm, I don't know why.
It would be one thing if Ronda has a bit of sportsmanship but she was a terrible person. And her coach "head movement, head movement"
@@NorbertDallosI know it's my top two also. But I also like khabib versus Connor and Mayweather versus Conor for some reason
Watching this live was crazy, because everyone was excited about Ronda's return and how Amanda completely embarrassed her in this fight.
Hardcore fans knew that it was Ronda last fight
I wish I saw this fight just to laugh at Ronda's defeat.
I feel like everybody that understood the sport knew Ronda was getting slaughtered. UFC tried doing her a favor letting her off some media duties and it just pissed Amanda off more
Hammered her tbf easy fight
Lol, u no longer the champion, not just one the second time 😅😅😅
Did Rousey know you were allowed to hit back?!
best comment
😂😂😂
ROFL FR.
LMAO!!!!😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂
Ronda face went from mean mug to please have mercy real quick 😂😂😂
😂😂
Everybody's tough until they get punched in the face. Mike Tyson.
1:01 the way she comes flopping back into the frame 😂😂😂😂
It was the actual look of what the F just happened 😂😂😂
Rousey’s defense is astonishing, it’s unbelivable how she blocked every punch of Nunes with her face
🚨 HACK ALERT 🚨
Never heard that joke before. Congratulations.
Booooooooooooo. Bad joke
Lol. So, jokes can't be made if they've been said before? Like, how many times? Once? Three? What's the limit? Have I been telling illegal jokes?
Jokes need novelty and surprise to be funny, if you're repeating every joke everyone else has repeated to death, its not funny. This is why people get criticized for bringing up old memes. People should not say a hack joke as if it's never been done before. This is how comedy works.@@dabakack6167
“Shes in trouble Mike” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Big trouble!! 😂😂
Can she finish it right now??!😂😂😂
@@ErinJeanette😂😂
This was such an humiliating loss for Ronda,Amanda bullied her all through. This has to be one of the most embarrassing performances ever in a title fight.
"All through 43 seconds"
Darren Till is up there with Ronda
@@shellshocked8674at least he lasted until the second round
Gane vs Jon Jones is pretty close.
Jose Aldo?
gotta love how Ronda refuses to touch gloves at the beginning, then had to touch them over and over again with her face.
She did not refuse at the very beginning on the staredown but Indeed did refuse to touch while starting the fight. Legendary and satisfying Ass whooping.
Yes, indeed. This made the Ronda's fall bigger.
@@leonardogcostahow? She clearly touched gloves no problem. 0:07 She definitely got destroyed but she did touch gloves so.....
You’re thinking Ronda vs Holm
@@bigdawg508the op is talking about at 0:11 when Amanda went for the glove touch
Always appreciate the UFC dropping this classic.
She pissed Dana off, must be
Remember Joe Rogan said she could outbox Floyd Mayweather
Rogan also said she would beat male MMA fighters in the same weight class 😂
Rogan also said she can beat Cain Velasquez ahhaah
Yea half of what comes out Rogans mouth is garbage 😂 ufc talk or not
@@Handlealreadytaken.Trythisone. He has the single greatest case of recency bias I've ever seen. He has called all 4 featherweight champs the goat of the division, called 4 people bantamweight goat, and outside of UFC just believes whatever the last person told him.
@@user-tu2py1qc2z oh for sure, every new champ with a few title defences is the new "greatest of all time" very annoying to listen to
1:01 - Lol the way she ran next to the ref like a little kid, like she just got in trouble. 😂
The shock on every opponents face when Nunes lands for the first time is crazy
Ufc was NOT thankful for this match 😭
Bruh! They were banking on everything they had that Rousey would win. Rousey lost the Roadhouse gig because of this fight. 😂
@@RockWonder210 No. They already knew Amanda would win
@@ebaymotorhomes when WMA purchased the UFC they were banking on Rhonda winning because they had stake in the Roadhouse movie that she was gonna star in. They’ve talked about this in numerous MMA podcasts back then.
@@RockWonder210Theyre idiots that dont understand fighting then. Everyone who understood fighting knew that Holm had exposed Rousey and that Nunes was a far more dangerous opponent. Lots of people knew that Nunes was going to tear her apart. They should have listened to the right people.
@@MadonnasSpareVagina We’re talking about entertainment business people, of course they don’t know shit about fighting. They legit thought she was gonna win off star power because that’s how Hollywood people think the world works. They thought Rhonda would win, they’d make 500 million opening day on Roadhouse and put Rhonda on a Wheaties box. WMA is the reason we’re getting all these entertainment fights these days and not the number 1 contender who actually deserves a title shot.
Amanda already wanted to kick her ass from all the attention Ronda was getting. Then the fact that Ronda shook her off from touching gloves coming out gave Amanda even more motivation to beat the brakes off her. She beat Ronda so bad she was stumbling around the octagon like a toddler learning to walk lol
"That young Brazilian superstar might hold onto that belt for a very, very long time."
Ronda appears shocked 🙀 that she was able to stand for 46 whole seconds against the lioness. Well done Ronda 👏👏
All jokes aside, I totally agree with you
Oh please, she was saved by Herb Dean and that gate. This was a beatdown, not a former champion who at least was in the fight. She didn't defend herself well. Rousey could have suffered from brain damage or death. I am not happy if that occurred. Nunes is unaware of her 😊attack mode because she has blind fury. So you need a referee with her fights.
This never fails to cheer me up.
Watching this fight was like watching a golden retriever trying to fight a tiger.
“She lit Ronda up like a Christmas tree” - Joe Rogan 🤣😂🐐
I am VERY grateful for this fight. Watching Ronda get "bobble-headed" by Amanda's fists was satisfying AF.
Ronda's striking was on a whole 'nother level in this fight 😂 as a fan can't say how thankful I am for this fight
Ronda would've DESTROYED Mayweather though....
@@Stormvogel262Brock Lesnar and Jon Jones too, Joe Rogan still swears by it 😂😂
Yes, approximately 57 levels below Amanda's 😄
@@Stormvogel262Yeah and she will DEFINITELY out box Mayweather too🤣
the nothing level hahaha im just joking her striking has gotten better in the WWE
One of the most satisfying moment in UFC history. Right up there with Usman and Masvidal 2.
Second best only to Ronda -Holm. And its not something against Ronda but all the people hyping her and saying such hyperboles while we all could see the levels on certain aspects of mma was at best amateurish in women's division
More up there with leon koing usman too
Another title: Humble journey of Ronda
Why does this fight bring me such joy. 😊
This was truly a passing of the torch and signal of the new era of women vs the old with Ronda
lol passing of the torch? rousey never had the torch to begin with..she was the benefactor of the sport being in its infancy she wouldn't even be close to the "legacy" she has if she'd fought even a few years later lol.
Passing the fist :D
lmao passing of the torch? what torch? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@packerpf I agree but you are undermining her ability. She was a fantastic grappler. Her greatest strengths and fighting style were completely coached out of her. She was made to believe she was a world class striker when she never was. Had she continued to utilize her fantastic judo base, I feel she would've been a much more competitive force that stuck around much longer. Even her mom hated what her coach did to her.
@@armando1is1greatI agree to an extent but any true MMA fighter needs a striking game now. The men had their time too years ago where dominant grapplers ruled until guys strong in both started appearing and evicted them. Womens MMA experienced the same just on a smaller scale. Ronda wasnt going to last long unless she developed a competent striking game. Unfortunately for her she was not a quick student like GSP was and then, in a colossally stupid move, they had her stand and strike with the best striker in the history of womens MMA.
I wouldn’t necessarily call this a fight
Lol
Herb Dean and his love for early stoppage!
@@Mark_106you must be on a different planet if you think that was an early stoppage LMFAO
@@RJPlayz01 yes....we watched it while on holiday on Mars, but thats a whole different story....but yes, herb had a soft spot for Ronda and wanted to protect his first love :)
@@Mark_106 she didn’t even know where she was lol. She went back into position where she thought the fight was about to start. Definitely a troll comment from you but if not, you know nothing about the UFC lol
This is the fight that immortalised "HEAD MOVEMENT! HEAD MOVEMENT!"
I love how Amanda hugged Edmund at the end. "Thanks for the easy fight"
0:41 I love how Ronda manages to avoid a few punches mainly by luck and you can see her get all confident for a second
True she looked confident for a second but then saw Amanda was trying to attack and inmediatly pulled back again in fear
I'm pretty sure she was blacked out and just in fight or flight tbh, she looks out on her feet after about 20-25 seconds
"She's in trouble Mike" I enjoy this fight today just as much as I did back then.. fantastic performance by the Lioness 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Holly slept rousey and Nunes put the nail in the coffin. Two truly legendary fights in the ufc.
Thank you Amanda! You make me feel good 🎉
Lmao Nunes is an animal 😂
Rousey thought she could go Toe to Toe with Nunes 😂
Amanda Nunes got them hands!🤛🏽🤛🏽
My favourite Ronda Rousey fight
Instead of being humbled after her loss to Holly Holm, Ronda decided that she was going on a media blackout leading up to this fight. Which is understandable after she got memed to death by her loss to Holly. I knew it was going to be a disaster of a matchup when Amanda improved her cardio and started destroying her opponents. Every casual wrote off Amanda and was waiting on the return of Rousey. Except that the fans were left wondering if Ronda improved her striking since her loss a year earlier. Cat Zingano stated that the hardest she was ever hit was against Amanda.
Thank you Nunes from all my heart.
"I've seen her shadowboxing, and the shadow was winning" - Amanda Nunes
😂😂😂❤
Did she really say that?? 😂
No. That was NOT said by Nunes. That was said by Cris Cyborg. SMH
Ronda’s arms flailing around like one of those inflatable things at a used car lot 🤣
“Protect yourself at all times” Ronda: “Nah I’m good”
Holly took her belt. Amanda took her soul.
I dunno. Holly shattered her identity. Amanda fought the husk of Ronda.
In under a minute!!! I've watched this beatdown at least 50 times!! 😂❤😂❤
Man Ronda had such amazing judo. Shame she fell in love with the boxing, especially since her boxing didn't really love her back
the first combination of low kick + jab was sufficient to break ronda spirit, watching this live was incredible
Yeah that quick almost sweep kick and quick punch to the face immediately was nice
It’s easy to miss because of the camera angle but that very first jab rattled Ronda’s teeth for sure.
Rousey was never an MMA fighter but she's tough for not falling down. I loathed her but now i admire how much she wanted to stay in the fight despite being obliterated by the Lionness.
she was grabbing the fence that is the only reason why she did not drop
She was the first mega star in the female division tho you can’t really take that from her…the talent just passed her by FAST
2:44 Rhonda: I tore my ACL, I fell down the stairs, my dog got run over, my mom's in the hospital, my car got broken into just this morning, my wisdom teeth are killing me, I pulled my hair back too tightly, i wasn't at 100% so *this DOESN'T COUNT!!* Can I get a do over? 🥺
Favorite ass kick of all time
That ass whooping was legendary. Poor Ronda, most of the greats experience this kind of thing.
Everything has it's day, sooner or later.
Amanda Nunes made that ass whooping look like a magnificent masterpiece!🤛🏽🤣
Was Ronda ever "great"?
@@RRRRRRRRR33she was the first mega star in women’s combat sports…yes she was good but the talent really passed her by FAST lol
*_The Greatest Feel GOOD Moment In The UFC_* *Honorable Mention: Izzy Vs Srickland*
AND Holly Holms Vs Rousey
@@RafaelHernandez-tk7ns fr but this was way better as the holly loss was brushed off as fluke by many d-riders.
Anyone else remember the promo quote for this fight? “She’s back!” 😂😂
When you have 2 tough losses and you quit, that’s what you are. A quiter. When you have 2 losses and you continue you’re a fighter!
Yep. She’s nothing.
My favorite memory of this is rhondas coach saying shes been knocking out grown men at the gym...... grown men from where the side of the road 😂 any man with 1 year of boxing experience would destroy her.
Any man with a weeks worth of boxing experience would lol
its true....she was put in a cage with mma gloves on with a huge Lion and K.O'd it stiff. she was more than ready. i dont know what went wrong....defiantly a bad early stoppage by Herb.
A year? That's extremely generous of you. 3 weeks tops. 3 months and the man would be untouchable by her in her prime.
@@Shade84 Yep, 1 month tops, especially if the man is already in shape. This reminds me the infamous soccer match, the US woman professional team vs third division soccer players from england or something like that, the men won the match 14x0. I do think Amanda would destroy a 1 month old boxer tho, she is built different... but a 1 year boxer? Hell no
@@RRRRRRRRR33 Destroy? I don't know about that. In a competition against women Nunes looks impressive, but in the end she's still a woman herself. I think she could definitely hold her own, but I don't expect to see her overwhelming men of any level but the untrained and out of shape. Edit: typo.
I was thankful when this happened and still am thanks UFC!!!
1:10 "you're on planet earth, welcome back"
I remember this one. Nunez got some crazy power. I kinda felt bad for Rousey😂.
Every punch landed was like eating the best chips over and over again
The concern in Joe's voice😂
HEAD MOVEMENT HEAD MOVEMENT HEAD MOVEMENT HEAD MOVEMENT
HANDS UP! HANDS UP! HANDS UP!
I'm so thankful for this fight 🙏
Rhonda was so lucky to be so close to seeing Amanda put her belt back on. Rhonda had great seats. She seemed sad....
I probably comment every time I see this video, but I will never ever get tired of watching it. The slow motion is so enjoyable, Ronda was getting absolutely punished that punch at 1m 48s was a real awakening.
It's incredible that Ronda Rousey, even though she was a grappling player, still wanted to exchange punches with Amanda Nunes, her ego spoke louder and she paid with defeat
She paid with a Legendary Beatdown*
No one really knew at this time how good Nunes was and will become.
@@deleqtronica8733 Everybody already knew at this point that Nunes was on an entire different level than Ronda at striking. No qualified coach would have been telling Ronda to try to keep the fight standing with her. And even if we hadn't known how good Nunes was at this point, Ronda had made the same exact mistake bragging about her striking and trying to brawl with Holly Holm, a world champion boxer.
She didn't for long😅
she tried to clinch several times during this short fight.
Holm exposed her. Nunes embarrassed her. The first point is when women's MMA had caught up to her. This is when it had moved on.
"Head Movement, head movement, head movement!" - an elite striking coach on the side... 🤣
1:07 the poster in the background trying to tell Rhonda: "this 🔫 is your ONLY means of victory" 😅
lol best comment here. I like how you wrote that
Thank you Amanda for putting Ronda in her place. Thanks to Holly Holm also..😊
I love when Amanda holds up that finger to her lips lol She was talking to Rondas corner because Edmund was yelling at her to clinch the whole fight 😭😭😭
She was holding up the finger to pretend like she didn't want the crowd to go nuts.
She’s actually saying “shhh Rhonda is sleeping.” 😂😂
Cris Cyborg - "I saw Ronda shadow boxing and the shadow won" 😂
Straightened up that mad face QUICK!! 😂 😂
Amanda Nunes é insana! Esses socos diretos dela derruba um gigante 🇧🇷❤
Edmond faintly yelling “head movement” in the background 😂
Rousey: "Where am...who was...how do...what the..?" Dean: "You got knocked the fuck out!"
Amanda Nunes! Legends! W! 🔥
Oh Boy....Ronda could have grasped glory, if she just listened to the Coach of the year edmund's advice..."Head - Movement.....Head - Movement"!!
Gotta be one of the most satisfying standing KO's in UFC. Rousey was anywhere but inside the octagon at the end of that fight. Knocked out to another dimension.
1:44 clean jab slip
I'm going to miss Nunes her fights are entertaining. Yes, Rousey was the star of MMA, Nunes is that GOAT earned by her peers and fans. Somebody's favorite fight to see for Thanksgiving 😅😅
i guess... props to ronda rousey for being able to stand up after eating so many clean shots from nunes
HEAD MOVEMENT 😂
Clinch! Clinch!!!
"Head movement" gets me every time
Thank You Amanda the Lioness Nunes! 🙏🏽
The take away from this fight is Ronda's mean face in the beginning and Ronda's face at the end.
Lmao she looked like a little kid who got denied cookies before dinner with that face
This fight and the Cyborg one truly make Nunez the GWOAT!
They trolling right?😂😂 this was no fight
Amanda was dominant
I'd say!
Yooooooo DaaaYum 🤣✊🏽👊🏽💯
SHE JUST STANDS THERE 😂😂😂😂😂
Getting hit was what did it. Rhonda was never hit like that before and she never wanted to feel that again. Strange how a fighter couldn't take being 🎯 hit. Head movement 😂
strange how nunes couldn't take a half ass choke or a stuffy nose
@@jblechanEven funnier how she came back like a year later and beat the brakes out of the person that did that to her
@@goldenbone8288 beat the breaks off Peña? They went the distance cause Peña is tough and gritty and doesn’t quit like Nunes does. Only one has finished the other and that’s why nuens ran to retirement without settling the score.
@@jblechan She got beat up all five rounds. Most of them 10/8 that's what I call a dominant beat the brakes off of performance
And they were going to have a third fight. It's not Nunes that dropped out It's Juliana that did and she still hasn't fought since that second fight, which means that by now Nunes would have already defended her title again without fighting her.
UFC is wrong for this 🤦♂️
How???
Nah , they delivered.
Not, they're very justified for this
This is one of my favorite fights nunes was not scared one damn bit. Thank You! Nunes! 😊
I saw a clip of this fight on Tiktok in slow motion with an Enya song Boadicea. It was perfect. I wish i could find it again.
Well i'm not a fan of the low IQ, inane banter of a certain joe rogan, this match Is a fine slice of humble pie for the holidays. 😂🍞🥙🥩🥓🍳🍮🍾🍷🍻🍺
😂
ronda don't even look like a fighter hahaha
Watching this fight always makes my day better
Much respect to Amanda who had absolutely no fear of Fonda 👍🏿
