MMA experienced a great gala evening full of interesting results. Things were happening at UFC 269. Outsider Julianna Peňová managed to defeat the legendary wrestler Amanda Nunes, who did not find a conqueror for almost seven years. Charles Oliveira did not hesitate in light weight, showed a great strangulation against Dustin Poirier and defended the belt. The victory was also recorded by Kai Kara-France, who quickly swept Cody Garbrandt with a technical KO in the first round. Sean O’Malley also beat his opponent.
A surprise no one expected. This was brought about by the women’s bantamweight match between the famous Amanda Nunes and Julianna Peňová. The American entered the battle as an imaginary “dwarf”, because Nunes did not lose for seven years and grinded her teeth for another triumph.
In addition, the beginning of the duel was in the spirit of paper assumptions. Nunes started the path to victory very actively and even gave her opponent a push kick, which sent her to the ground. However, Peňová did not allow herself to make any further mistakes and she tried unsuccessfully to attack with the lever on her hand.

The second round was captivating and very exciting for MMA fans. Both opponents had a lot of excellent punches and hard hooks. In addition, Peňa got Nunes on the ground, where she began to strangle her. She had to give up the effort and knock out the attack. The American prepared a huge shock for everyone when she became the new champion.
The highlight of the gala evening was the battle between Charles Oliveira and Dustin Poirier for the lightweight title. Poirier did better at first, but the card gradually began to turn. In the second, Oliveira tried to be more active, trying to beat his opponent with a lever on his hand. He didn’t do very well, but then he put a lot of pressure on him, got his opponent on his back and covered him with a number of shots. Thanks to that, he won the second round.
In the third round, Oliveira showed a rear naked choke, which Poirier resisted for a while, but then had to knock out the strangulation. The Brazilian thus defended the title, while Poirier lost after two years.
