Amanda Nunes was so dominant in her featherweight title fight Saturday that she was only hit twice.

A reigning two-weight UFC champion, Nunes put her featherweight championship on the line at UFC 259 - a highly-anticipated mixed martial arts event held at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas.

Nunes is good on her feet and great on the ground, has won UFC title fights for almost five years, and has beaten a who's who of tough women like Miesha Tate, Ronda Rousey, Valentina Shevchenko, Cris Cyborg, and Holly Holm amongst others.

At the weekend, she won her 12th fight in a row as he beat Megan Anderson with ease, submitting her opponent after just 123 seconds.

Nunes, like she has done against many an opponent, made it look easy.

And it was.

Nunes landed 19 of her 26 strikes, attempted two submissions, and beat Anderson with a triangle armbar.

Such was Nunes' punch-perfect performance she left the Octagon unscathed, with only a mild sweat, as Anderson landed just two shots from five attempts according to UFC data.

Nunes, a new mom, celebrated the win with her family

Shortly after her win, Nunes was joined in the Octagon by her wife, the UFC strawweight Nina Ansaroff, and their six-month old baby Raegan Ann Nunes.

Nunes said she'll celebrate by drinking beer, return to Brazil, and show off Raegan to her family there.

In a statement sent to Insider, Nunes said: "For every opponent, I have a strategy. I cannot go in the cage without strategies A, B and C, because you don't know if something is going to go wrong.

"You have to be ready, so for Megan I wanted to finish her, I didn't want to knock her out. I paced myself. I saw she was done already but I wanted to finish the fight on the floor with my jiu-jitsu."

Nunes continued: "I like the challenge. In my life, I was always like that, challenging myself every time. If you don't want a challenge, you're in the wrong sport.

"I picked MMA for a reason. I'm here, I'm a champion and I'm defending these belts. I'm going to be here for a long time.

"Now I'll have a beer, go back home, get together with my friends and my teammates. I

"hope to go back to Brazil to see my family and bring Raegan. They haven't seen Raegan yet. I'm happy. This is the best moment of my life."

Nunes impressed her fellow UFC fighters, and one said she could defeat men, too

Victory advanced the Brazilian's pro MMA record to 21 wins (13 knockouts, four submissions, and four decisions) against four losses.

It also further established her as the No.1-ranked women's fighter in the world, in any combat sports organization, and punctuated her claim as the greatest female fighter of all time.

A fellow fighter Cub Swanson, who has fought in the UFC since 2011, tweeted that he believes she "could beat some of the men in the UFC."

The UFC President Dana White, impressed by Nunes, said at a post-fight press conference that she could fight again in the coming months because she wasn't challenged on the night.

"She's incredible and she goes in there and makes it look easy against a tough girl who hits hard and came to win," he told reporters.

"Couldn't happen to a greater human being, she's one of the sweetest people on Earth, and I'm really happy for her.

"We're talking about turning her around here for the 135-pound title since tonight was an easy night for her."
