A caught kick is how GDR was taken down and finished in the first fight. Nunes lets it go this time.

Germaine de Randamie hadn't been taken down since the last time she fought Nunes. That was 23 stuffed takedown attempts ago. #UFC245

Single leg this time and Amanda landing from the top. BNig right there

10-8 Nunes

The look in Amanda's face when she sit in front of Conan Silveira 😂 too easy.

Nunes almost went 2005 Shogun at the end there minus the stomp

Gotta watch those upkicks 🦵🏼#UFC245

Two different levels when it comes to ground game. #UFC245

Wow. A very early stand-up by Keith Peterson. That's some nonsense by no-nonsense Keith. #UFC245

Hmm. head kick by de Randamie in the second and Nunes felt it

GDR is taking it to Nunes, who seems surprised GDR is somehow still in this fight.
Well, she is very much in this fight.
— Luke Thomas (@lthomasnews) December 15, 2019
We have ourselves a fight here. Nunes has used a ton of energy so far and GDR is still very much alive. Ultra compelling stuff right now. #UFC245
— Shaheen Al-Shatti (@shaunalshatti) December 15, 2019
Wow Amanda getting tired. Momentum is shifting.

This fight is good. 🥰 #UFC245
— Tatiana Suarez (@tatianaufc) December 15, 2019
I have it 30-26, Nunes. The champ looking very dominant but GDR doing enough to make this fight interesting, at least on the feet. #UFC245
— Danny Segura (@dannyseguratv) December 15, 2019
Nunes just gonna wrestle her. Smart. Keep that strap. GDR will need rounds 4 and 5 just to get a DRAW. First round was clearly 10-8.
— Fight Ghost (@Fight_Ghost) December 15, 2019
Nunes rests this round while pummeling GDR from top position. Outstanding stuff from the Champ Champ.

GDR needs a finish#UFC245— Phil Murphy (@Phil_Sports) December 15, 2019
Painful watching GDR not being able to stuff even 1 takedown
— Ben Askren (@Benaskren) December 15, 2019
Germaine really needs to learn frames and hip escapes!

Why Cyborg do us like this… she owed us another fight with Nunes . Two well rounded females ! #UFC245
— Derek Brunson (@DerekBrunson) December 15, 2019
That was painful all around
— Ben Askren (@Benaskren) December 15, 2019
That was the most vulnerable we’ve seen Nunes in a while, but she still dominated because GDR had no adjustments and made some odd decisions in key spots. #UFC245
— Simon Samano (@SJSamano) December 15, 2019
Amanda Nunes' five consecutive UFC title defenses (at bantamweight) are the most among all current UFC champions. #UFC245
