The MMA community reacts to Amanda Nunes’ close decision defeat of Valentina Shevchenko
Last night, in the main event of UFC 215 in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, women’s bantamweight champion Amanda Nunes put her belt on the line opposite perhaps her fiercest rival: Kyrgyzstani striker Valentina Shevchenko.
The fight registered as an incredibly competitive one, and after five close rounds, pretty much every onlooker was happy not to be a judge. In the end, though, the victory went to Nunes via split decision, which means the belt will remain around her waist.
Here’s how the MMA community reacted to Amanda Nunes’ razor close decision defeat of Valentina Shevchenko:

3-2 Valentina Shevchenko. Could it be 4-1 each cage/ takedown in the 4th no punches thrown! #UFC215 #andnew

You can’t walk backwards the whole fight and get taken down at the end. You have to take the belt from the champ. #andstill https://t.co/6TN9CRJGhh
