Amanda Nunes overpowers Felicia Spencer to defend UFC featherweight title

Amanda Nunes dominated Felicia Spencer from start to finish to defend her UFC women's featherweight title by unanimous decision Saturday night in the main event of UFC 250 at the Apex facility in Las Vegas.

The judges scored the bout 50-44, 50-44 and 50-45 for Nunes.

Nunes (20-4), ranked as ESPN's No. 1 pound-for-pound women's MMA fighter in the world, made her first defense at 145 pounds; she also is the UFC's women's bantamweight champion. She won her 11th straight fight.

Spencer (8-2) entered as the UFC's top women's featherweight contender. She was coming off a first-round TKO win over Zarah Fairn Dos Santos in February.
