Amanda Nunes defeated Raquel Pennington in round 5 by TKO at UFC 224 Main Event, and she remains UFC women’s bantamweight champion.
Amanda started from beginning of the match to attack Raquels front leg with a lot of success. It was a very hard match for Raquel, because Amanda was picking her apart and in the time beak after 4th round she turned to her corner and said “I’m done!” but her coach convinced her to continue.
Turns out that was a mistake, because couple minutes Amanda was able to TKO her for her third successful title defense.
