Amanda Nunes is the first-ever women’s double champ in UFC history.

Nunes pulled off the historic achievement when she knocked out Cris Cyborg at UFC 232 last weekend (Sat. December 29, 2018). The two women co-headlined the pay-per-view (PPV) from Inglewood, California. It took “The Lioness” under a minute to knock out her fellow countrywoman, something no other fighter has ever been able to do.

Now, holding both the UFC women’s bantamweight and featherweight titles, there are a lot of questions about what’s next for Nunes. Her coach and American Top Team (ATT) frontman Dan Lambert believes Nunes can actually defend both titles (via MMA Junkie):

“I know in some of the deeper divisions they have, it’s impossible to be a champ-champ. How’s ‘DC’ going to defend it against the best in the world at heavyweight and the best in the world at light heavyweight at the same time? It’s kind of impossible.

“But there’s not quite as many – I mean, obviously, the featherweight division, they don’t even have rankings out there. How many people do they even have there? So it may be possible for her to keep both.”

Should Nunes be able to pull that off, there will be absolutely no doubt she’s the greatest female fighter of all time. With wins over Ronda Rousey, Miesha Tate, and now Cyborg, Nunes has had the most legendary career of any female fighter who has ever stepped into the cage.

Proving able to defend two titles consecutively, something no fighter has ever done in the UFC as a man or woman, would only solidify her as the greatest to ever do it.

Joe Rogan has once again provided mixed martial arts (MMA) fans with a hilarious fight-ending reaction.

Rogan was calling the action for UFC 232 on pay-per-view (PPV) this past weekend (Sat. December 29, 2018) in Inglewood, California. He got to witness Amanda Nunes make history in the co-main event of the evening. “The Lioness” knocked out Cris Cyborg in under a minute in the first round of their fight.

The reaction of Rogan was caught on the UFC’s “The Thrill and The Agony” YouTube video. Check it out here:

With her win, Nunes became the first-ever female “champ-champ” in the history of the UFC. She was already the 135-pound champion heading into the fight and defeated Cyborg to become the featherweight champion. Cyborg has since said she’d like to jump in for a rematch with Nunes. However, UFC President Dana White doesn’t seem too hot about the idea.

Given how dominant Nunes’ performance over Cyborg was, it’s hard to justify a rematch so soon. It remains to be seen what the future holds for the ‘The Lioness’ in 2019.

But one thing is for sure, it will certainly be a pleasure to watch.

After all was said and done, Cris Cyborg weighed less than five pounds more than Amanda Nunes at UFC 232.

It was 4.5 pounds to be exact. That’s how much more Cyborg weighted than Nunes on fight day. Although that’s not the 15 pounds some fans thought Cyborg may have on Nunes, it’s still a significant amount.

The California State Athletic Commission (CSAC) is at the forefront of innovations as it comes to weight management in MMA. One of the procedures they instituted is a fight day weigh-in – which requires fighters to weigh no more than 10 percent of their weigh-in weights.

For example, Nunes tipped the scales at 145 pounds. She then weighed in at 156 pounds on fight day. Thats a total weight gain of 7.6%, well under the 10% rule. For comparision, Cyborg weighed in at 144 pounds and on fight day rehydrated back up to 160.5 pounds. Thats 10.7%.

The number-one goal for such a program is to deter extreme weight cutting.
Any fighter who breaks the 10 percent mark could be faced with a recommendation from CSAC to compete at a higher weight.

Here’s a look at all the before and after weights from the UFC 232 competitors (courtesy of MMA Fighting). Notice that Montel Jackson and Alexander Volkanovski came in as high as 14 percent, while
Douglas Silva de Andrade came in at 13.6 percent.
