5 times Amanda Nunes looked vulnerable inside the octagon

#4. UFC 245 Amanda Nunes vs. Germaine de Randamie II

Nunes defeated de Randamie in 2019 via unanimous decision

Amanda Nunes's most recent bantamweight title defense came in a rematch against Germaine de Randamie at UFC 245. While this was another one-sided Nunes win, all three judges felt the second round belonged to de Randamie.

After a dominant first round for Nunes, de Randamie outstruck the champion throughout the second round, forcing her to look for takedowns. Additionally, de Randamie came close to catching Nunes in a submission in the fourth round of the bout.

Ultimately, however, Nunes secured a unanimous decision victory. The judges scored the fight 49-44, 49-46 and 48-45 all in favor of 'The Lioness', who scored her fifth bantamweight title defense in the process.

#3. UFC 196 Amanda Nunes vs. Valentina Shevchenko

Nunes defeated Shevchenko in 2016 via unanimous decision

Of all of Amanda Nunes' opponents, Valentina Shevchenko is undoubtedly the fighter who appears closest in skill to 'The Lioness'. The first bout between the pair took place at UFC 196 when neither fighter had yet won a UFC title.

While Nunes looked strong early in the fight, particularly in the second round, the third round was a completely different story. Shevchenko was able to take down Nunes as well as dominate the Brazilian in the striking department.

While Nunes' work earlier in the fight was enough to win via unanimous decision, Shevchenko finished well and could've put Nunes in real trouble had they fought five rounds.
