And that is a WRAP! The women's fight game has never seen an operator as consistently lethal as Amanda Nunes, and she proved it once again tonight at UFC 239. In the first round against the celebrated Holly Holm, the Brazilian superstar delivered a perfect kick to the head and ended things for good, retaining her UFC women's bantamweight title in thrilling fashion.

It's been that kind of night. Jan Blachowicz delivered a terrific left to stop Luke Rockohold, then Jorge Masvidal brought the house down with an unbelievable two-second masterstroke against Ben Askren that left the MMA world breathless.
But the greatest woman ever to grace the Octagon was always going to have her say. And oh, did she ever.
