Brazil began Saturday with no UFC champion, something that occurred not had nearly ten years.However, the victories of Jose Aldo, who won the interim belt featherweight, and Amanda Nunes repositioned the country on top of the MMA. The victory of Bahia fighter was one of the most exciting of the night.

Amanda Nunes then took the chance of life and massacred the former champion Tate with a flawless performance.

Groggy, Tate also took a series of blows Amanda and the knockout was underway. The consecration has come on the ground with the Brazilian applying a rear naked choke without difficulty. Tate, 29, left disfigured octagon, bleeding profusely, and congratulated the Brazilian with a friendly hug.

Already belt ownership, Amanda devoted to exploit the family in the Northeast. "It's for you, Grandma. I'm coming. A year ago I do not see my family, but I'm going to Brazil and taking that belt with me," said the athlete, who lives in the United States.

The category that was dominated by Ronda Rousey for many years, has its third winner in less than one year.
