Eight years later, fans still appreciate Amanda Nunes, who sent Ronda Rousey into retirement with an “ass scream of epic proportions.”

Many fans in the MMA community are excited to relive the moment when Amanda Nunes’ strong performance forced Ronda Rousey to retire. Everyone praised Nunes and some speculated about her possible comeback to the UFC.

For comparison, after a year-long hiatus, Rousey returned to the octagon at UFC 207 to challenge Nunes for the bantamweight title. Unfortunately, the 37-year-old was unable to reclaim her title as she was defeated by Nunes, who knocked out Rousey with devastating punches in the opening round.

This was Rousey’s final appearance in the octagon, as she announced her retirement from the sport in 2016 and became the first female fighter to be inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame in 2018.

MMA news outlet MMA On Point went to X and shared their fight clip and wrote:

“Eight years ago, Amanda Nunes spoiled Ronda Rousey’s return. Rousey never returned to MMA after this fight and later retired from the sport. “Nunes won nine more title fights after that fight.”

Another explained:

“A*s circle of epic proportions.”

Other fans wrote:

“One of the most satisfying moments in UFC history!”

“One of the biggest mismatches in UFC history.” Ronda was literally no threat standing up and would never get close enough to use her judo. To be honest, I was embarrassed to see it secondhand.”

Nunes is widely considered the greatest female fighter of all time. During her UFC career, the Brazilian made history by becoming the only female double champion.

Dana White talks about the possible return of Amanda Nunes

Amanda Nunes retired from MMA after defeating Irene Aldana at UFC 289 last year. However, Nunes could be persuaded to return to the UFC after her former opponent Julianna Pena knocked her out following her title win at UFC 307.

Nunes then teased her return with a video of herself dancing on social media. During a post-fight press conference for “Dana White’s Contender Series,” when Dana White was asked about the Instagram post “The Lioness.” White replied:

“She (Nunes) looks good, she looks great, looks like she’s still in shape. “So you know what she’s thinking about and that’s what I love about her. There’s a lot of things I love about her, that’s what I love about her. “She’s keeping an eye on who wins the title next and I think she’s teasing that she might be interested in coming back.”
