Brett Okamoto of ESPN reported today that Amanda Nunes will defend her UFC Bantamweight Championship on UFC 245 Dec. 14 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Germaine confirmed this on Instagram. I expect this to be the co-main event. Amanda beat Germaine by first round TKO in 2013. I don't see this one going any differently. In her last fight, Germaine won over Aspen Ladd due to an awful Herb Dean stoppage. A win like that should not get anyone a title shot. But the UFC needs a title match for their year end Las Vegas show. It's likely that if Cris Cyborg had accepted a match with Amanda, it would have been on this show. At this point, the options are limited in Bantamweight and Featherweight. And that's why we are getting a non-competitive match. Amanda will be the prohibitive favorite.
