    Nunes looks determined to prove she can last five rounds, so, slow pace to start this fight.

    Shevchenko with a broken/dislocated finger? Looking for her trainer to pull it out and adjust.

    First round goes to Nunes but not dominant.

    Valentina has had a few opportunities to clinch but Nunes is strong enough to spin her off.

    The crowd has been great all night but they are getting restless. Both fighters only giving 80% waiting for something to happen.

    Nunes vs. Shevchenko 2 is a lot like Woodley vs. Thompson 2.

    Feel like Shevchenko won the second round, meaning probably two out of three judges gave it to Nunes.

    Big John issues multiple warnings to Nunes for range finding with her fingers extended which is a foul under the new rules.

    If Nunes pokes Shevchenko BJM needs to take a point. She is not heeding his warnings at all.

    Rogan and DC suggest that Nunes is still fresh because she hasn't had to grapple. Bullet isn't initiating the clinch.

    BJM pauses the fight and tells Nunes to "close the goddamn hand". Very stern.

    Dull fight, frankly. Like watching people poke each other with sticks.

    Tilt the third round towards Nunes.

    Pace needs to go way up for Bullet if she wants to win this fight. Must win the last two rounds.

    Shevchenko is doing well when she attacks or counters but her output is low and she's on her heels. The optics of it have Nunes is bossing the fight.

    DC compares the fight to GDR/Holm. Yeah, pretty much.

    I feel like Shevchenko won that round. Could be 2-2. Probably 3-1 Nunes given the way judges favour the champion in close fights. Hope there is some urgency this round.

    BJM encourages them to fight harder in the last round. Warranted.

    They are drunk. They just want to see chaos.

    Nunes pushing hard for a takedown in the fifth. Not getting it. She gives up on it. More stalemate.

    Shevchenko attempts a hip toss and winds up down with Nunes on her back. Stands up but Nunes takes her down again and rides out the round. Both fighters still a little angry at the end.

    Nunes goes over to the commentators and brags about lasting five rounds.

    Crowd unhappy.

    If I had to guess, 1-Nunes, 2-Shev, 3-Nunes, 4-Shev, 5-Nunes

    48-47 Nunes
