UFC 245 video recap: Amanda Nunes out-grapples Germaine de Randamie in rematch

UFC bantamweight champ, Amanda Nunes, found herself in hot water at UFC 245 against Germaine de Randamie, but leaned on her wrestling and grappling to secure a unanimous decision victory.

Nunes found herself at a disadvantage in the striking department against GDR, which is unfamiliar territory for her, so she switched gears and started hitting double legs to take the fight where she felt more comfortable. GDR had her window of opportunity, hurting Nunes with strikes and landing strong knees from the Thai clinch. Unfortunately for her, she couldn’t stop the takedown, and had a tremendously difficult time getting off of her back.
