UFC 250 Results: Nunes vs. Spencer

UFC 250 brought Amanda Nunes’s women’s featherweight title defense against Felicia Spencer to the UFC Apex in Las Vegas on June 6, 2020. The closed-door card paired an established champion with several important bantamweight matchups, producing a commanding main-event performance and three strikingly different finishes beneath it.

Nunes controls the featherweight championship fight

Nunes outmatched Spencer in the striking exchanges and controlled the action when the fight moved to the ground. Spencer continued competing through five rounds, but could not build enough sustained offense to threaten the champion’s lead. Nunes retained by unanimous decision.

The victory was a featherweight defense, while Nunes also held the bantamweight championship. Keeping those distinctions clear is important: the two belts were not both being contested that night. The performance demonstrated how effectively she could carry her power and positional skill into the higher weight class.

Garbrandt, Sterling and O’Malley stand out

Cody Garbrandt knocked out Raphael Assuncao with a right hand at 4:59 of round two, just before the horn. The finish gave the former champion a decisive return to the win column.

Aljamain Sterling needed only 88 seconds to submit Cory Sandhagen with a rear-naked choke. Sean O’Malley also ended his fight early, knocking out former WEC champion Eddie Wineland. Taken together, those results made bantamweight a major story of the event despite the featherweight title headliner.

Twelve bouts across the full card

Neil Magny beat Anthony Rocco Martin by unanimous decision, and Alex Caceres handed Chase Hooper a decision defeat. Ian Heinisch, Maki Pitolo and Alex Perez recorded stoppages; Perez’s victory over Jussier Formiga came through leg kicks.

Cody Stamann and Devin Clark won decisions, while Herbert Burns submitted Evan Dunham in the opener. Including these preliminary results gives the event its proper shape: one title defense supported by contender movement, prospect tests and several different routes to a finish.
