Fans have claimed the UFC bantamweight title bout between Amanda Nunes and Julianna Pena last night was the "bloodiest fight in history".
Nunes brutalised Pena in the UFC 277 main event, with the Texas crowd amazed as the Brazilian showed off multiple facets of her game and reclaimed the gold she had taken from her in their first meeting. Pena put up a valiant fight in her first title defence, but was no match for the relentless pressure of Nunes, who had previously only gone five rounds twice in the UFC.
After their 25-minute brawl, in which Nunes won all five rounds comfortably and even was given two 10-8s by judge Douglas Crosby, fans took to Twitter to share their shock at how the event had gone. Pena was later taken to hospital to be looked at by a plastic surgeon after she suffered a deep gash to her forehead.
