The commentators mixed with the crowd reaction made this win so much more sweeter, she's going to watch this back and feel it even more... such an amazing fight to witness live.
Especially with DC voice cracking while commentating
@GQ Loc who cares?
Something wird happens. Julianna was not happy after they stopped the combat. The judges attitude also was rare.
@@juanrodriguez7875 it was weird how she hardly celebrated for defeating one of the greatest mma athletes ever but I do genuinely think nunes quit and because no hooks were in that she genuinely thought the ref was standing them up or something
So silly virus rules ,fighters all close to each other no mask , but officials wear mask , I'm sorry people who got sick , but we can't live in a Bubble forever ) I think if the left had there way, we would be told to wear our mask in shower
3:18 Absolutely beautiful reincarnation of the famous Nate Diaz moment, kudos to both Joe & Julianna. These are the moments that create unbreakable bonds between the sport and fans.
no wonder it felt familiar I was up jumping the whole fight. Amanda is tough tho peña was just tougher.
She won me over even more with that 🤣
Also Pena she has that REAL Mum strength 💪 😆
Shame she swore right infront of her daughter though
@@jaycuthbert245 she just became champion of the world.... please shut your mouth
It's like McGregor vs Diaz 1 all over again, another historic moment for the record books, another upset in UFC history, Pena was overshadowed by other fighters and whenever her name comes up into the discussion, she was treated as irrelevant. The sweetest victory ever witnessed, she's a beast and there was no surprise cause she really delivered what she wanted everyone to see last night.
But she was throwing some real hands not like sloppy nate did
Nah. I think most of us knew Nate had more than a 50% chance of winning coz Conor has zero ground game. Amanda was favored totally favored! Nobody gave Juliana a chance.
@@joeqb5992 yeah Conor's cardio does fail him during longer fights and his ground game is non-existent, Nunes was unbeatable until she came across Pena, Pena was an underdog, it was slim her chances but she didn’t backed down and with that gained everyone's respect.
@@nixonlegazpi yea totally agree. She gained some serious respect. My house was rocking after that tapout. Amazing. Wish her the best.
Casuals thought Nate winning was a shocker. Im glad Im not a casual.
That’s why she’s the GOAT, she goes on an unprecedented reign of winning to the point where she probably doesn’t even remember what losing feels like-and she takes the L like an absolute champ. I really wish Rhonda could’ve done that and had better people in her corner to teach her the value of a loss, because that difference in attitude is gonna prove the difference in their comebacks
Exactly
Once Holly hit Rhonda’s chin button, she was done. That happens. Remember when Antonio Tarver knocked out Roy Jones Jr? He was done after that. I’m not sure he or Rhonda won another fight…I don’t know if it’s a mental thing of if they physically change after getting knocked out like that.
Exactly, everyone will have a loss eventually and Amanda took it like a champ and showed her respect for Julianna. Amanda is a living legend, she’s done unbelievable things in UFC. Her story was like Rocky’s. And I definitely think she has a good chance to make a comeback in the rematch, she just needs to find the eye of the lion again. Having said that because absolutely love Nunes, Julianna Pena did an insane job! I’m still blown away it, the most legendary fight in UFC history. I’m so happy for Julianna, Nunes beat everyone even Cyborg. And Julianna beat Nunes. Very interesting though that Valentina has beaten Julianna. To me what that means is, to me. That it’s very close at the top. That it could go either way with these insane fighters depending on the day. But in this fight, Julianna simply did better, she was in control. Insane achievement. Julianna beat the best ever. Amanda Nunes will forever be my all time favorite fighter though 💙 people gave her so much hate, people put her down so much yet she proved to the world that she’s an absolute legend and she will always be. But I will not miss a single Julianna Pena match either from now on, what a beast 🙏
@@derekv8534 Roy Jones was fighting at a weight class that he couldn't sustain. His physical skills and style just wasn't going to work at light heavyweight.
@@lassesuurmunne8340 khabib, Floyd, rocky lmfao shut up ur an idiot
Amazing from Nunes to take the defeat like that. Zero excuses and praises the winner. Top top professional 👏
Nothing but Class!
Can't agree more
yup , an awesome example for Deatonay Wilder to learn from .
She checked out…
It's more like she's relieved that she finally lost that belt
Amanda Nunes cemented her legacy as one of the all time great champs with her graciousness and accountability. She could not have been classier.
She got smashed n humbled looked like a rookie
She's not "one of" Amanda Nunes IS the Women's GOAT
she's far from gracious and classy
@@Rindo_007 Valentina Shevchenko is the GOAT 🐐
100%. And I’m sure she will get her belt back
I was never a big fan of Amanda Nunes but I have to give credit where credit is due. Nunes took the time to congratulate not only Julianna Pena but she also congratulated Pena's corner team. She shook hands with every single member of Pena's team and applauded when Pena was announced as the "New" champion. Class act all the way and I will be cheering for her to make a comeback.
In hindsight, Pena has only lost to the two women that gave Amanda Nunes the most trouble in her last 9 fights:
Shevchenko and De Randamie.
I think people never really took the time to evaluate how good of a chance Pena really had, stylistically speaking.
Right,Valentina was robbed the fight,AN is a money maker for UFC,not any more favours, she was exposed.
Exactly. No one realized that Nunes gassed really hard in her fight with Germaine(which was her last fight at 135 before Pena) and that Pena could break Nunes down with pressure.
Exactly Julianna has good pressure, wrestling, &good submission ability! The stand up was impressive tagging nunes like that,plus look at Pena eye/side of the head ouch Nunes hit hard & damn Julianna is tough asf cause it didn't ko or even rock her so yeah she was a bad match up for Amanda plus Amanda Is only good on the ground with someone that's not that great of a grappler so I knew Pena would get her there & damn easy Tapout.
@@ghostsamongus3370 how many?🤔 four?
Those losses don't seem so relevant now, do they?
She's the true champ now, and I think she'll defend that title as well.
Winning the rematch will cement a legacy and signal changing of the gaurd, losing the rematch will reaffirm Amanda's loss was a fluke.
Totally agree but must add the iron jaw and steel heart of Pena that can't be measured on the tale of the tape.Amanda relies on her knockout shots and was hitting Pena with everything she had(Pena's left eye proves that).Pena took her best shot and gave some too(not just the jab).When was the last time Pena was knocked out?How about never!She's Amanda's worst nightmare and don't be surprised if the rematch is the same result.
One of the most significant moments ever in combat sports. I’m glad JP is starting to get the recognition that she deserves.
Valentina about to come grab that title
@@gj62 took the words out my mouth. I personally think Valentina won her 2nd fight against Amanda. Like Valentina said after the fight look at her face all busted up but look at mine not a mark.
@@howey935 I hope we see a JP vs. VS 2. But for that to happen, I think JP will have to survive a rematch against AN first.
@@gj62 jp was getting with vs , she just gets caught in dumb positions to get submitted
@@gj62 Agreed 100
Goosebumps WOW. For non ufc fans this is basically when Leicester won the premier league. No one believed Pena could compete with Nunes let alone WIN but her! Incredible, lets get that rematch.... Huge respect to Pena 🙌 🙌 🙌
Leicester was a MUCH bigger upset. They had a consistent 38 game season in the toughest league in the world. Pena was 10-4 coming in and was rightfully a MASSIVE underdog, however, fighting rarely works that way.
Well Pena had the will and heart, was coached relatively well. Leicester also had the will and heart and well Ranieri coached them well. So I can see some similarities. But the difference is one is fighting and one is football. A team game vs a 1 person only thing. Fight game has no teammates inside the cage just 3 people including referee.
Was she 5000-1 to win?
Premiere is the best league in the world no other league is even close
@@jamesanthony4946 how is it the toughest league when Spain has been dominating UCL & Europa league for the past 10 years? I don't wanna hear about la liga being a 3 team league when Villereal is whooping the 3rd best team in England😂
Loved her reaction after winning. Just so cool and knew she was in a battle with a champ. She’s awesome. What a woman!
Everything about her victory was so wholesome even Amanda's reaction
0:52 legendary 😂😂😂
That was the worst display of footwork and striking I have seen in a title fight, but somehow it was one of the best fights I have ever seen. Gave me chills.
Sometimes grit, determination and toughness can outwork technique man
Facts!😂
To me it shows just how low the technical skills in womens fighting is. Amanda looked rousey levels of terrible and Pena didn't look that impressive either. I'm sad for Amanda but happy for Pena. Also glad all those shill fanboys who were crying for Amanda to fight a male because no female can compete with her can now shutup.
@@SK-ix8jb I wouldn’t say skill in women’s MMA is low level. Look at Valentina Shevchenko, she is arguably one of the most technically perfect fighters in the world right now. Amanda can also be technical as well but she just didn’t fight smart this time. Congrats to Pena, I was screaming in my living room when I saw the tap.
@@CasualRoundHouseMedia probably the only time it’s happened
The difference between Ronda in defeat, n Amanda In defeat is staggering...Respect Amanda 💯💯💯
2:42 Rose givin Pat a head tap like "YO we on camera" lol
Nunez was literally smiling 2 seconds after she tapped and therefore lost. I find it quite interesting that no one (have not read ALL the comments but a bunch) see's or has commented on a simple reality. She was/looked more or less relieved she lost - Which just shows in a very human way that perhaps with her new family and entering a new stage in life that perhaps after so long on top - She may just simply not want this anymore and is ready to move on to other things with her life..Props to both tho.
yeah, she's only human after all
I think she was relieved that this fight was over…
@@Pfuetzenspringer I mean...I think it was clear she was. Why exactly I don't know. She is human afterall and it was a very human response. I guess we'll see.
bro just cause she gave up momentarily in a fight doesnt mean she is ready to leave the sport just yet dont be so dramatic lol
@@91lilfrozone23 That's not what I said sir. My observation was subjective and speculatory. I don't what what she wants to do - I'm just speculating. Ty come again =)
Pena had a point to prove.
Against the bookies 🤑
Amanda was a -1000 favorite. so a whole lot of people made some money on that one.
Amanda Nunes handled that lose like a true champion! Full respect for both fighters!
I never saw such a display of public and sincere sportmanship.
Somewhere in the depths of the cold, atop a mountain, sitting on a throne
A feint sound...unmistakably, Valentina
“..Eeey!!”
😂😂😂😂
Nice lol
Still boring af
That's going to be a GREAT fight vs the "Bullet"
Anyone else feel a bit sorry for Anik? It's always Joe and DC turning to each to shout, poor Anik is always the third wheel
@@Browser404 tbh most people would react in a somewhat similar way
either that or stunned into silence
hardly ott
@UCpMKTT78oVM5Y496YPkpFTw shut up
He’s play by play way more important the other two are colour commentators
I honestly felt like in a Rocky movie watching this fight, people just starting rooting for her like rocky vs apollo or drago. All of this was so surreal.
man, I love Amandas spirit and her way of dealing with this defeat shows sooo soooo sooo much class and humility, I will root for her in the second one.
I can bet my life on it that every single woman in that division will want to take on Pena now lol. Massive congrats to her
Especially GDR and Val lol
Even Valentina must be craving for 135 belt now,bullet for champ champ
@@gdm6875 I hear Shayna Basler might return to MMA 😂
@@tedbck9421 And get her face caved in?
@@tricky92x Bring in ALL the woman catch wrestlers. LOL. Like shayna baszler and Debbie malenko( she was trained by Karl gotch). And yes Debbie Malenko had one ,okay I admit, one AMATEUR mma fight.
Amanda underestimated Julianna a bit. Cant blame her. She had been so dominant.
yes! amanda's body looked so different than in previous fights. seems like she doesn't train that hard..
Love the hugs and respect between both the teams. True sportmanship.
Amanda Nunez- that was one of the better losing speches I've ever heard
A true professional win or lose 💙
Nunes is such a champion. So gracious with a beautiful spirit. Immediately congratulating the victor. Wishing everyone a happy holidays. Not 1 excuse in defeat. Just that she will work harder and be back. A real champion.
Finally got bullied didn't like it to much. Lol
She actually looked relieved. Reminds me of Whittaker, who said that a big stone off his shoulder dropped after he lost the title. Maybe its the same with Amanda, now she can feel the hunger again.
She checked out. She wasn’t there mentally. Sounds like an excuse to me…
@@jrluna5560 She was smashed in the face all night. That checked her out. Lol
yes man. Stunned at the attitude, a true champ. Very very few can take a loss so sportingly after such a long reign at the top, like Amanda did. Hats off!
Upset defeats is one of the greatest moments in mma. It's crazy
Its a big reason why we watch the sport. Its moments like these that make MMA such a great sport.
I love how Amanda gave JP props and acknowledge her as a great fighter calling her a Warrior. Words from a great and gracious Champion ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I love how calm she was after she won
Big respect for both fighters. Loved the way nunes handled her defeat, real class and I guarantee she wins the re-match.
like she was guaranteed to win this one. there are no guarantees in mma
If she just stays at range and uses her leg kicks to break her down instead of just brawling then she will probably win, pena didnt seem to have an advantage in the grappling so she needs to make it a war on the feet. Amanda knows that now so i dont think she'll let it happen but u never know in mma
Bet 318k
Actually Nunes was winning at the beginning. Later she just lost steam, became slow, and couldn't get a clean shot. Looks like her stamina in this fight was not what it used to be. Pena dominated her in standup, and later on the ground.
Ha ha ha
Wow I didn’t think anybody could beat nunes. Congrats pena ✊🏽💪🏽

Dude how can u not love nunes after her little speech. What a great champion and person. And for pena...good for her. What a great story. Will power hard work. So happy for her. I love genuine good people. I wish everyone treated everyone with such respect as these two did
As a european fan i woke up with a hangover of epic proportions today. Thank god i didnt need to take a cold shower to wake me up as i watched this fight in the morning and jumped a hole through the roof
What time did it start for u
@Tstan European so this match was probably sometime 4-6am
Stayed up all night bro ,everybody was asleep, I woke them all up 🤣

Never underestimate the underdog ✔
As pumped up as after the Diaz and Serra victories that people probably didn’t fully expect - what a year of cards the UFC gave us. We are blessed!
Classiest defeat I've ever seen taken from a legitimate champion
Amanda showed her no respect in the fight. She came forward recklessly and tried to end the fight with one punch but in those small gloves, anyone can find themselves on wobbly street.
Yeah, there was one point that she laughed off JP's kimura attempt because she thought she was stalemating. And JP wasn't playing either. She was trying to yank that arm off just to prove to Amanda that she meant business.
It was just a matter of time before Nunes fought someone slick enough to dodge her punches, tough enough to weather her storm, and calm enough to establish a sound enough gameplan.
Nunes is the GOAT but she almost always defaults to being sloppy and reckless once she gets rattled or tired and Pena took advantage of it.
Amanda wanted to lose imo. I've never seen a fighter take that much damage without trying to avoid it.
@@eduardoreyes2128 Amanda's cardio and ego cost her this fight.
Nunes was my pick, I was literally shocked, Kept saying WTF. Pena shocked the world, congrats....
Nunes was everybody's pick
I’m crying tears of joy when she picked up her girl and her name was being announced, there both smiling waving into the camera. Wow what a moment❤️
This is what the UFC is all about. Great fight, great fighters and fantastic sportsmanship.
Funniest moment of the night has to be Michael Chiesa trying to sneak into the octagon after the fight 😂😂
Didnt u see when oliviera's glasses got stolen? 😅
Nunes was so classy! And sweet! I feel the COVID and going up and down weights really got to her. I truly believe she could beat Juliana when she’s at her best
maybe yes. But it is impossible to always remain at her best. She was reigning for such a long time, and nobody really posed a strong challenge to her. Now this weight class is wide open. Others will be challenging Pena left and right.
This fight WAS WILD!!! Julianna Pena did the damn thing and everyone was sleeping on her
what a great champion Amanda. A lesson on how to lose. Respect. She will come back stonger
I was there the energy levels were insane
Nobody was picking penna we all were like Amanda ll eat her alive bt she proved all of us wrong what a match .
@@ravisingh-mk5uw Not all of us.
@@lajosmiklos8863 yeah just 99.9 percent of us .
Same, I thought 267 was wild but this one was absolutely insane
2 warriors, thks Amanda and a big congrats to Julianna, way to go champ!👍
Honestly Pena looks so likeable, so many humble champions on roaster..
I’m happy with the respect these fighters have each other. Other divisions, both men and women, should take note and honor each other.
Brought a tear to my eye bro this was mad congrats vixen
The biggest upset in UFC history.
Nothing will top GSP vs Serra 1. But this comes pretty close if we're being honest.
Honestly Holm vs Rousey was probably greater just because Ronda was this undefeated face of the UFC & Holly was wayyy more "under the radar" compared to Peña - with just 2 fights in the UFC leading up to the fight. As far as odds go Holly was a much greater underdog at the time.
Incredible fight. I definitely think this will shape up to be one of those all time history making rivalries between two of the greatest warriors. Nunes will come back hard and be ready. It’s exciting to know the rematch will be something truly special.
Kind of rude to say that it's the biggest upset in the history of sports. Pena is a beast and fights smart unlike most of Nunes' opponents.
Not really. Look at the odds of that fight. But it makes it bigger because she said exactly what she was going to do and did it.
Nah it was a BIG upset. Prior to this match Nunes has asserted dominance throughout several of her fights. I'm not sure if smarts had anything to do with the fight but Pena is definitely tough as nails. She took shots that would've sent several women crashing onto the canvas. Nunes lost composure when she realized she couldn't drop Pena so easily and Pena seized the opportunity.
Not taking away ANYTHING from Pena but did anyone else feel Amanda just kinda gave up and let her win in a way? It's like she didn't even try to have a strategy..
Fatigue kicked in. Same thing happened with Leonardo Santos vs Clay Guida last week. Looks to me Nunes didn’t train hard for this one.
@@eleazarhernandez4666 yeah I honestly think her only conscious worry was making 135 since its been 2 years since she has but besides that she clearly wasn't motivated
I feel the same way. Peña is a skilled strong fighter.
Man, Pena's stand up was insane. I always thought of her as more of a grappler, but those straight rights were finding their home every time. Not making excuses, but Nunes seemed off. Maybe it was just because Peña wasn't giving her the space she needed to land those bombs. She wasn't intimidated by Nunes at all. Congrats, Champ! Nunes is still a champ even in defeat. I have grown to like her. She's so humble and optimistic. The reason I couldn't bring myself to like Rousey was her disgusting arrogance. People compare her to Conor, but a lot of his antics were for show. He knows how to sell fights. Rousey was a legit conceited brat with an inflated ego.
Her celebration on top of cage is everything for me, I literally watched it more than 10×
It's still hard to believe she beat Amanda Nunes 😯😯😯
Shevchenko is going to want her piece of Nunes too, she needs her revenge
Pena looked out of it too..looks like she didn't even realize the win..unless she's just that calm
I think holm ko over rousey was the biggest upset. At that point rousey was never even challenged and had a perfect record. We’ve seem Amanda lose before. Betting wise it’s up there but I’ve seen -1100 before.
Nunes gave her the belt. If they rematch it will be a major beatdown
How classy is Amanda. Good job Julianna.
Watching this fight made me realise just how good Shevchenko is as a martial artist.
Exactly, Contrary to Nunes, she dominates standing up and on the ground.
Commentary being on the same wavelength as everyone in the crowd and at home made this fight unbelievable watched it back 6/7 times. From pena winning. Commentator reaction. Tactics on the night. What entertainment!
where is the full video?
As a boxing fan this why the ufc is so great the best always fight the best and iys always unpredictable in a ufc fight
A new champion can always be born
Big up dana white
And losing doesn’t ruin a career like boxing
@DaBabySmokesWeedAndJimmySavilleSmokesBudWithMyNan how?
Lets go champ?
Wow, such a good sport in defeat and obviously so much respect for each other. Very emotional moment. Inspiring.
she didnt even have it locked in ... she just tapped for no reason wtf
Congratulations to Pena on a powerful display of resilience. Nunez has been dominant for so long that eventually someone was going to take her down. Curious to see how long Pena can defend her title now that she is the target.
I was in that arena that night. I was so shocked at this loss, it was crazy. But it was also great to see Pena become champion. Can’t wait for the rematch!!
We love u Julianna! U really prove people wrong. I really hope that u can defend your bantamweight title for as long as u can. Fingers cross.
John is easily the best commentator so much love for the fighters and really uses the right words to do so
The day before this fight, my co-worker said to me “Pena is gonna beat Nunes” and I chuckled and didn’t think much about it. Then before the fights he sent a screenshot of his bets, and he really did pick Pena to win. Once the fight was over he sent me a text saying “💰💵”
Who would have thought a Fox (Vixen) would beat a lioness
Nothing but respect to both of them
A mais pequena foi mais vêlos!! A tenacidade e técnica eram parecidas! Foi muito rápida a fazer a chave! Parabéns!
When Joe and DC look at each other🤣 I need a poster of that.

I absolutely love how gracious both ladies were at the end 🥰 And the look on Joe Rogans Face was priceless!!
Class acts the both of them! 🎊 😁👏🏽 very pumped up for Pena 🏆
The most humble in all of combat sport in her loss. . Great win for Pena
Love Amanda. She flat out lost this fight early on as she got a beat down. It seemed that a loss was inevitable. Peña was absolutely amazing and earned this one.
Amanda showed her true self after the fight and handled it with class which shows the person she truly is.
Looking forward to the rematch. I home the Lioness comes back strong but props to Peña. We could be seeing the rise of a new goat.
I loved seeing how happy everyone was for her and their reactions. Even some of the other competitors it's awesome true sportsmanship everyone was so happy can't wait for them to run it back
dropping the diaz line with her infant daughter in her arms was by far the best thing about this fight:D
One of the greatest upset penna made me a fortune last night
Congratulations bro 👍
Juliana beat her up badly and Amanda just had enough so she quit. Amanda got lit up in that 2nd round. Look at the way her faced changed, Amanda was shell shocked.
I love the respect between the two fighters
Peña took the shots and didn't quit, what a fight.
Watching this fight for the Second, Third and Fourth time I'm starting to wonder if Amanda's hearts not in fighting anymore or she flat out Threw that fight.
I think when she got hit a few hard times instead of falling back and going for a long war she just tried harder to end it quick, when that didn't work she just gave up. And let her have tatke the win with the choke, no effort to fight it or stop it and she tapped when it wasn't even tight yet.
She emptied her gas tank and knew it was over for her. Plain n simple.
@@cranbers it was definitely a strange way to give up a 12 fight win streak/Championship. Your explanation makes more sense than her throwing the fight but watching the fight back a few times something just seems Off to me. I didn't think Julianna looked all that amazing and never really saw anyone shot land that I was impressed with.
This. Why in the lords name would anyone let that streak end? I bet the Covid/weightcut did the trick.
@@anttiturunen2931 I was trying to make a point that something just seemed Very off. Unless she had a whole lot of people placing millions in bets it would be pretty pointless to threw the fight. To me, the tap was very strange.
As soon as Nunes got hit hard a few times and figured out she was missing all her swing for the fence punches she just bowed out and let her get the choke and didn't even fight it. Perhaps Amanda was tired of being champ and wanted some down time?
She ran out of gas
Who gets tired of being a champ
And people say Rousey was overrated? Rousey would never have tapped from a choke that wasn't even sunk in.
Its genuinly good to see respect back in the sport.
