Valentina fans brainwashed by Valentina that she won the 2nd fight. They probably believe that if you repeat something long enough, it will become true. No way on earth she won. It is a FACT. Amanda was the deserving winner of the 2nd fight. It was a close fight, but no one can argue factually Amanda did not deserve to keep her belt. Not on the judges card, not on the media judges and not on the official fight stats and not on the actual result where Amanda is 2-0 against Valentina.
Nunes out-struck Valentina in every single round except the 5th round in the 2nd fight. Amanda consistently had much higher landed shots, but Valentina was punching air and pretending more. That is what the numbers say. It is so pathetic how Valentina fanbois really swooning at her dancing skills, don't want to give credit to Amanda. The only place where Valentina can beat Amanda, is at 125 lbs, but Amanda has already said she would not go to 125 lbs. It was Valentina who ran away from the division. Not Amanda.
Amanda is officially 2-0 against Valentina. Amanda would run through Carmouche and Maia like a mac truck and Valentina got a decision against them in two of the most boring fights. Amanda has finished over 70% of her opponents compared to 30% for Valentina. Amanda has beaten far bigger opponents like Germaine (x2), Holly, Megan and Cyborg. Cyborg in their fight weighed over 170 lbs while Amanda was 158 lbs. Megan Anderson was easily 15 lbs bigger than Amanda.
Holly was getting lit up on the feet by Megan and had to take her down to win the fight while Amanda bulldozed through Megan in 1 round on the feet. No one aside from Amanda has knocked out Holly. Only Amanda has and she did it exctly how she wanted it to end, which is how Holly knocked out Rousey. Valentina lost 2 rounds againt Holly, while Amanda knocked her out in 1st round.
People are talking about Pena, just wait and watch what happens. She is a perfect match for Amanda's style who likes to come forward and pressure her opponent. That is where Amanda shines the most in the fire fights. She is going to run through Pena like a big bulldozer. Mark my words.
Here is the scoring of all of the media outlet judges. All of them gave the fight to Amanda
Here is breakdown of the fight stats (source: UFCStats.com) of all 5 rounds. Amanda outlanded Valentina in 4 out of 5 rounds and got 2 out of 2 of the takedowns in the entire fight. They don't understand how judging works.
The fact that the challenger has everything to prove and champion has nothing to prove. If they stood there and did nothing, the champion gets the win. Even if it is a draw, the champion keeps the belt. Valentina absolutely was not even close to taking the belt fron Amanda given this performance.
