UFC Champion Amanda Nunes talks defeating Ronda Rousey

When Amanda Nunes was here last month, she said she'd derail Ronda Rousey's comeback plans and defend her title…and she did just that.
It only took Nunes 48-seconds to defeat Rousey and keep her UFC Women's Bantamweight title.
It was the fastest knockout finish of Nunes' career.

This is a real fighter. Rousey was talking about how she could beat Mayweather and Cain Velasquez. Nunes simply says it wouldn't be fair for a woman to fight a man.

[@SilverWolf442]

Yeah. Amanda is very sweet and humble. But naturally you have lots of salty Ronda fans that think Amanda giving honest opinions is harassing Ronda. Amanda hasn't said or done anything bad. But the haters just want her to be quiet and say nothing because they don't like her. for beating Ronda, or blocking Zingano's petty ass

[@Lukeanthony82]

Heisnberg I super agree!

[@ilyasalassow3251]

She's a Pro

[@alanmeires]

All that shit talk about her fighting may weather was that silly Dana white I think not really Ronda. He does talk some crap somethings.

[@EatBugsSeeGod]

She's so shy & sweet

[@airesgroundandpoundcake4396]

I heard she lives on a mountain, high at the top. There's a beautiful view from the top of the mountain. Every morning, she walks towards the edge to throw little things off. Like car parts, bottles and cutlery, or whatever she's finds lying around...;)

[@hisholiness4537]

+Aires GroundAndPoundcake That's one weird comment lol

[@josephedric4081]

WTF?

[@kneestothechin]

lol its from an old bjork song

[@melissasonnodeldrago3570]

CoryBrothers Winner! Winner! Chicken dinner! :D You may have googled it, but if you just recognized Hyperballad lyrics on an MMA video you might be my soulmate. :D

[@The_Bit_Player]

Would you ever fight a man? NO. Greatest answer ever.

[@Mr-E.]

That was refreshing.

[@AndresGarciaJr]

best answer would of been that is a stupid question. the question asked by that guy is so dumb and stupid

[@rohanjn4438]

not a proffesional but random dudes might get a run for their money.....

[@LanNguyen-iu3oe]

@Himanshu Gupta Oh no, random dudes like you definitely would get a run for their money

[@benjafranklin5996]

@Himanshu Gupta Dude she would knock the fuck out of you

[@Subash0069]

The first time I heard Nunes was when she beat Rousey. During the Octagon interview, I thought she was really cocky, and arrogant. After watching this interview, I am so embarassed to have been so judgmental about such a nice, polite, and well spoken person.

[@AtheistExpert]

he was doing great at interviewing up until "would you ever fight a man?" wow. really?

[@bobwreck3775]

I think he was thinking about letting her kick him in the nuts

[@umag-janean143]

I think he was trying to make her make a claim like Rousey did about her ability to fight a man. I like how Amanda took it in stride and didn't let him dwell on that nonsense...

[@monadejaneiro]

I think he was testing her to see if she's cocky. Ronda would have answered "Yes" 😂

[@djcann6199]

Shut the hell up!!

[@miaschreiner9216]

At least Amanda has her head on her shoulders

[@dannyboym374]

I'm sick and tired of Rhonda talking all this rock bottom shit. when you can't pay your rent or feed your family that's rock bottom. I wouldn't mind that 3m she got rite about now peeps.

[@DM-rj1sl]

fucking true

[@HAWXTER12]

Well said.

[@HAWXTER12]

Does Itmatter Ronda? That you?

[@christaylor7916]

Rock bottom in terms of her UFC career. Come on, man. It's not rocket science.

[@jeffreywolford8532]

Dannyboy \m/ fucking a Danny boy. she don't know real struggle

[@Lukeanthony82]

I'm SO glad she remained humble to say she wouldn't fight a man=no ego! She's smart👌🏾👏🏾

[@slicvm]

LukeAnthony Tillman ...She's loyal...

[@DrPoot2doodoo]

Amanda is my favorite champ right now. She is so sweet and endearing, and an inspiration to many people around the world. I really hope she keeps it rolling for a while.

[@fabiospsantana]

I'm brazilian born in the same state of her (Bahia) and I really dont know to speak english properly. I'm so proud and happy to see (even without mention others skills) her capacity to understand and speak english so well. You need to know her context and life history to understand what I want to say. One prove of her comunication capacity are the positive comments that I'm reading here. She is a great soul, don't try to undervalue her. Thanks all people of the world who recognize her achievments, efforts and her kindness spirit.

[@kiannaheywood2857]

She's so cute :) What a great fighter and amazing striker! I don't feel sorry for Ronda at ALL!

[@shakerajackson9317]

You’re a hater

[@hellohandsome9875]

Me neither, she got what she deserved, showed no respect to any of her opponents and Amanda showed her to be a one move fighter, if she couldn't get an arm bar she had nothing else

[@soundseeker63]

I like how she is an absolute machine in the ring, but totally down to earth and real in person. She's not cocky or negative towards her opponents. No ego BS, just hard work, dedication and discipline, as it should be. A true professional.

[@RadioactiveSince1990x]

I hope she stays a dominant champion, that belt has moved around too much in the past year.

[@slicvm]

Radioactive Since 1990 So far she has been able to defend it.

[@jayyyswerve173]

Well she’s the GOAT

[@DakonBlackblade2]

This comment aged like fine wine , Nunes is still smashing women 4 years and 9 title fights later.

[@patriciapeterson3644]

Sickening that Nunez made $200,000 as the Champion and Rousey made $ 3 Million dollars to lose ........

[@aidan2261]

anyone else looking forward to the holm fight

[@RevolutionRapter5000]

I think De Randamine knocks out Holly.

[@aidan2261]

RevolutionRapter5000 I've never seen the randamine girl fight so I don't no what she'll be like but I'm gonna be going for holly holm to win the fight

[@PV1230]

deRandamie is a beast. I think it's a toss up.

[@PV1230]

yes, but Val and Germaine are different style fighters. also, Val is a southpaw whereas germaine is orthodox. I don't think it's that simple to call.

[@BulkingSmeagol]

I'm hyped, I think GDR will win on TKO 2nd round, she's legit af, what she lacks in groundgame she makes up for in standup, just watched GDR vs Nunes on fightpass, nunes won on g&p in the 1st round but was forced to take her down, herb dean stopped the fight pretty early and Joe said it as well in the commentary, not alot of punches actually went trough in the g&p but GDR did not had the skills to get out of that position. Holly doesn't like to be on the ground as well so it's most likely going to be a standup fight, and based on Holly's performance against Schevchenko I'll give the edge to GDR, who is btw 47-0 in muay thai. It would be good for the sport if Holly would win because she dethroned Ronda, but I doubt it, we'll see and I can't wait

[@LogicAtItsFinest]

This is a sexy woman. She's tough, humble, pretty, nice smile, bilingual, etc. I'm disappointed that she's gay, but glad she's happy.

[@jsizzle7311]

W. P. she does seem like a nice, genuine person!

[@mariammariam9953]

😍😍😍

[@pap7794]

She got a Male body

[@JohnSmith-jt3bh]

She said study all of her moves. Ronda only has one move an arm bar. She was always over rated. Media hyped her up.

[@williambowie1575]

Ya right one trick pony that how many lost to that before these Boxers beat her.

[@FirebrandAL]

She wasn't *overrated* per se. I think Ronda was clearly the best of the pack that she was on top with. But a year or two ago - you could legitimately make the case that not even five of the top twenty female fight sports athletes were IN MMA yet. It's just the evolution of the sport. Holm, Shevchenko, Nunes... just cut from a different cloth, that's all.

[@juainott5281]

Media promote her but she won her fights alone Is not like the media played more than 15 girls to lose to ronda. C'mon

[@c956rubber]

John Smith Ronda reminds me of that movie The great white hype.

[@iii5091]

4:10 such an inappropriate question.

[@sonnysingh2456]

she is very honest and straight forward....has to be admired.

[@biker9374]

Such a humble and down to earth lady.... God bless her ❤️

[@guittadabe5214]

I am not a Nunes fan, but these reporters were very biased for Rousey the last time they interviewed her (I give them credit for telling her so, being that Rousey is the home town girl), but they sure don't give her any kudos on her achievement. Very disappointing.

[@peierple]

She talked about moving up to 145, but now that the Borg is in, she says she's too small for 135 so she will not go up to 145!

[@jars0023]

Now Amanda, let's not tell Rhonda to switch camps. She doesn't need her head filled with crazy thoughts.

[@shameer685]

She’s so humble and what’s a beautiful accent. Definitely going places.

[@tenzinthosam5245]

just want to know what about Velintino Schefchinko? it seems she scared to fight her

[@LordNevyn84]

Ronda has a 14 second ko and Conor has a 13 second ko so why is the old guy saying possibly the fastest of anyone's career

[@pattypcollins]

Its kind of weird how old the host is... he must be over 80

[@Bearclaw80]

lmao... awww... she's so shy!!! playful too... except when she's in the ring... she's completely different... 2 personalities... cute woman... lol

[@Bearclaw80]

also.. i bet she's very articulate in her own language... damn language barriers

[@antonioridah172]

Never new why folks thought Ronda could best Mayweather when she can't box. Amanda and Holms expose her I still respect Ronda she a warrior only lost a couple times.

[@buffalomind6838]

4:09 - 4:17 Holly too was able to manage her ego when asked on an ESPN show in order to give the reasonable response. Every fighter deserves a lot more money than they have received forever. I can't wait to see Amanda vs. Valentina.

[@SirCutEmUp]

How can you not respect Amanda Nunes..... she is fantastic.... she is honest and she is realistic..... She doesn't even entertain the idea of fighting a man ... ask Ronda that same shit and her ass woulda had people believing she would knock a man out quick fast and in a hurry..... much love to Amanda Nunes and all the fighters in the UFC who respect the sport .

[@bookstore101]

Damn these guys are kinda rude.

[@jwenorton]

Bruce Lee Roy two of the best minds in mma

[@leroyoneill1929]

2021 and still the best of all time. 😍❤🍀🍀

[@savindikeshani6796]

Hell yeah! ❤️💯

[@lyricnation7086]

people buy ppv for skills, not trash talk. that's why no one missed a silva fight.

[@jessea.5185]

why do they ask her about salary? ronda only makes that much cuz she's popular and brings views!

[@ejjones3126]

Rhonda mouth got her destroyed twice she has no hands

[@TheWordMercy82]

I don't think I've ever seen a better example of trial by combat where truth triumphed over lies. Tyrion approves

[@peterkarahalios3488]

for the devastating monster-of-a-fighter that she is, she is a nice lady... nice to see...

[@johnlemus7921]

Only Fight I want to see is Nunez VS Cyborg.

[@bishop84100]

Cyborg got the same treatment

[@lMexicanSuperFriends]

i am bishop yeaaaaaah she did she did.

[@genecoppedge5972]

Ronda Rousey was already defeated long before she ever stepped into the ring. Amanda should be careful not to fall into the same media hype and trap like Ronda did. When the money begins coming in the fire begins to go out.

[@FirebrandAL]

Nunes cracks me up. She was praising fucking Bud Light the other night and wore half a pantsuit with Jorts on TV. That's the best. Absolute fucking best.

[@LightofAllah00]

1:40 "ImaginY" Amanda is so cute lmao

[@kimkim123ism]

Sweet sweet girl. Love her! Though Holly is my favorite.

[@jessicapagsisihan960]

Defended again ... loved every second of it!!!

[@RGTomoenage11]

I would love to see her fight Holly

[@spiceweasle3945]

So humble, a class act.

[@peierple]

Anchor man: would you fight a man? Ronda: i can beat anyone! Anchor man to Nunez: would you fight a man? Nunez: No!

[@1020Shane]

Fox 11 get your shit together

[@c956rubber]

@4:08 & The old guy says "would you ever fight a man" that's him attempting to get Nunes in bed.

[@cbooc]

"Brand new baby" that's gold.

[@ldavis5734]

How about an Expendables 4, with Nunes playing one of the badass villains beating up the Rousey character Luna...

[@aniwala91]

out of all the champs that have circulated bamtamweight, this champion is my favorite. i really believe will we be seeing her defend her title alot more times. #WARNUNES

[@culturemix637]

no matter what Ronda would have done she still wouldn't beat Amanda,.that's just the facts,. and her coach is not to fully blame,..a real fighter has plan A,B and C in a fight

[@shadowdancer5330]

Kinda feels like she's on one of those Church shows talking about her experience.

[@nickbargas7352]

Humble and dangerous!!

[@EdDy4RheelZ]

I like to apologize to Nunes for doubting her against cyborg. I thought cyborg was going to win because I've said to myself it's the strongest woman in the world vs strongest she-male and that Nunes is fighting a man in disguise. I was proven wrong.

[@k9m42]

at 1:42 "have you ever been scared in the ring" she says "NO"...That wasn't the case when Zingano crushed her into defeat...

[@kj3rd2657]

Good for you on becoming the champ! But Ronda has nothing to be a shame of! How many women can say they was a UFC Champion! Soon your day will come, when some other fighter will take your belt from you also. That's the life of being a champ, you are just holding the belt for the next to be champion. Good Luck!

[@christallh24]

Didn't girlfriend over yonder look salty when saying Amanda did defend her belt, lmao! Amanda's so lovely! I'm glad to see she's getting more interviews. From my perspective, she wasn't getting nearly enough press as she had this week. But I can't have caught everything.

[@kingshark4645]

geez, someone is right. nunes is marketable.

[@luisrosado5812]

fight cat Zingano again...then we will see

[@REXISTAR]

Luis Rosado and with shevchenko, Nunes with her don't have a chance...

[@gratiaxantos9309]

Nunes is such a sweet girl

[@REXISTAR]

I want to see again Nunes vs Shevchenko...

[@ilyasalassow3251]

They've fought already

[@wrldw4r]

Ilyas Alassow read the comment one more time, but slowly.

[@ilyasalassow3251]

The fight doesn't make sense

[@ilyasalassow3251]

The UFC wantsTo make big money fights and Shevchencko isn't a Draw

[@Oplix]

Nunes is right about ego too. 100% Ronda's only legit gameplan could have been to immediately take Nunes down and submit her

[@Raddland]

Poor Nunes. This was a weird interview. Weird questions, a lot of interruptions. All the talk about Ronda, still. Her next fight will surely have the proper accolades and build up.

[@schimmenti95]

She's definitely a sweetheart... good for her! She deserved the win :)

[@ongobongo8333]

Rousey obviously had no chance

she really got fed to a beast, the Lioness is the real deal love her

[@williambowie1575]

Nope not when she cant take a punch. Nunes is just like a carpet muncher be nice.

[@williambowie1575]

She has lost 4 times. 3 by TKO So when see says she never been afraid that is BS.

[@slicvm]

William Bowie That doesn't mean she's scared. She just lost concentration.

[@STEJTHEGREATEST]

1:41 Notice how she hesitated before answering?????? Her answer was a lie to appear invincible to her next opponents!!!!!!!

[@STEJTHEGREATEST]

Plus she was very blunt, emphatic and forceful whilst saying it, like she wanted to make up for the doubt that could've been picked up from her moment of hesitation!!!!!!!

[@buddyholly5716]

she seems to be very shy

[@alanmeires]

Rondas days are over now she will never come back not like Connor mcgreger did . She has been exposed now. She has got her money now she should move on.

[@sheikh03]

Like that she's getting the publicity that she deserves but didn't like the questions in this interview. It was a little awkward and they were cutting her off a little too much when she was getting descriptive.

[@gigisoglamorousipeeglitter7466]

Why do people say she looks like a man? I dont think so at all. I think she's attractive.

[@luca0311]

"she was not prepared to fight ... girl like me" ... girl, really?

[@Mudoh415]

It was true. Bitch got her life changed in less than a minute.

[@joelhartlen4324]

This guy said it was 75 bucks, thats Amanda is a Striker and 48 seconds must be the quickest knock out of anyones careers #Foxnews

[@abea7375]

now she has to fight valentina chevshenko and she'll be the of de best of the best

[@devorahacts]

This suit guy can't be called much of a reporter. Amanda's fastest qwin is 19 seconds, not 48.

[@thexen3120]

Cyborg would have killed Rousey 10 times before she hit the canvas.

[@hisholiness4537]

Cyborg could legit destroy any woman. She scares me.

[@barackobama1778]

Props to these guys fro interviewing the Champ and not just recycling Ronda shit like other channels like UFC MMA today

[@alarmservicepros]

never was a striker and when she learns that she'll win.

[@dinoflame9696]

"would you ever fight a man?" "A HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS... does that turn your head a little bit?" "did they have like a big screen in town?" he stopped giving a shit about this job a looong time ago..

[@JoseRivera-wo9fl]

She's fast.

[@kingkuru4277]

Amanda nunes gonna be on mad max fury road 2

The way she said ego was adorable.

[@ezekielsantoyo3138]

Rhonda Rousey was a paper tiger

[@kimiicemanmz]

this is really a nice and funny woman, RR needs to learn to be humble

[@mssayesra]

i dont know why i despi her so much.maybe because she is so agresive even when she talks she is so overconfident like she is the best finter in history.😂

[@tonystark-gz5no]

the way she talks...shes like juan manuel marquez when speaking english..both deadly though....😂

[@rooseveltware8651]

It won't be long before they put her on a chopping block just as they did Ronda and holly she'll be number 3 if politics don't kill her off first but the old saying goes there's someone out there is a lot faster and stronger that's how the business goes part of the game

[@chipbiggens4450]

she has the best personality

[@adriannelashae4678]

People think Amanda is this pitbull who's just mean and crazy. She's actually really sweet. I met her in person she's really humble.
