long night my ass, it will be a short one. nunes is arguable the biggest puncher in the division.i can see the improvement in her technique but her gas tank is still questionable. im curious to see whether ronda will come out aggressive like always or be more cautious. either way, i can't see her coming off a ko loss from a year ago and beating a puncher like nunes. nunes by ko.

By no means did do I mean it's gonna be a long fight. I'm saying it's gonna be frustrating for her. Nunes can definitely throw hands... but it's better for her to be patient and let Ronda pressure her instead of visa versa

Even if Ronda wins, they'll feed her Holly and it's going to be lights out again. 
Ronda has a pretty good chance of beating Nunes...Nunes moves forward, and Ronda is known for knocking out pressure fighters in seconds...
Nunes gases, she was beaten by Cat Zingano...This is a fight Ronda can win...

Big difference between being undefeated (when she faced ronda) and losing back to back which is where she's at present.Even if Ronda wins, they'll feed her Holly and it's going to be lights out again.
Will believe it when I see it, if it does happen you got to
at how Ronda picked her spot

She's got a good shot. Hopefully she improved her boxing(which prolly won't be the case of she's still with Esmund) But she still has a chin. If she waits Nunes out and make her gas it's hers

nunes has shown some discipline in her last few fights since that loss to cat. she's not coming put guns blazing like that anymore. her last 3 fights, outside of svenchenko she fought mccann and tate who are both known for they grappling. nunes avoided the clinch/scrambles, circled them and picked her shots perfectly then went in (pressured) when she smelled blood and put them bytches to sleep. she's not as reckless like she used to be but that gas tank
.ronda can win but the psychological aspect of this sport is a motherfukka. she got ko'd, embarrassed in front of millions. to come back on a big stage, be the same fighter you were before you got ko'd and take on someone who's been red hot and at the top of they game, is tough. that aura she once had is gone, i can't see her beating nunes at the moment.
