throw your money away brehs
She struggled with a damn flyweight in Shevchenko and gonna beat that damn tank in Cyborg.....shyt......
Where did she “struggle?”
She sure as hell didn't dominate a woman who is naturally 20lbs lighter than Cyborg.
She trades shots with Cyborg she's gonna get hurt badly.
She beat the piss out of her their first fight before gassing and beat her the second time at her own boring long range point game. Meanwhile, the first time Cyborg faced someone who wasn’t a fat ass flyweight(Holm) she got bullied in the clinch. Y’all sleep on Nunes like she isn’t in the prime of her career and fighting quality opponents while Cyborg has faced nothing but overmatched cans
Name one top 145 lbs UFC woman featherweight outside of Cyborg.
Outside of Kayla Harrison in PFL no one has the size to matchup.
And Holm God bless her got handled.
But stood up well. Anyone else would have gotten obliterated. She did well fighting that tank.
What’s that got to do with anything? She wanted to challenge herself she should have diet down not add more muscle off season. Facts is facts she hasn’t fought anyone and look pedestrian against Holm
That fight was one sided as hell
Holm was doing everything she could to simply keep it to a simple ass whooping that'd reach decision - cyborg's power meant that she couldn't take any risks at all or she'd almost certainly get pummeled. HoF fighter with no options. shyt was crazy
Nunes isn't finishing this fight
Now you're reaching and I know you're trolling.
She practices with Shields and went the distance with a champion Thai fighter and didn't get KO'd. You don't know WTF you're talking about.
She can't make 135 short of losing a limb. 145 is a stretch for her shyt.
Holm has never been stopped in MMA and Holm was a 3x boxing champ and world-class kickboxer and she looked like this after.
Cyborg hasn't 'fought anyone outside of Holms' because everyone fukking ran from her the french girl who robbed Holm in the first place skipped the country to keep from getting in the ring with her
shyt, the whole UFC women's division is basically a refugee nation of girls who don't want those problems
As for Nunes... she hits hard. That's a big thing not trying to downplay it, but she's never NOT been the strongest person in the cage. I don't think she's technically skilled enough to hang. If Holm of all people can only fend Cyborg off, then its not a joke. She real. And yeah - no one will say that Holm didn't get any good hits in. But the price she had to pay for ONE hit getting through clean was absurd. All she could do was a quick one two and get out. That was it. Her counters and elbows were worthless. She survived the fight which was the bigger achievement. From midway through the 2nd it was clear the difference in ability.
I watched Cyborg vs Gina two weeks ago..she put up a decent fight..lol.Cause she has bruises after being in a 5 round championship fight means she ain't shyt
fukking Ronda won the Olympics at 145-150 and wouldn't move up to face her.
Gina was running thru chicks and retired after that ass kicking.
That Germaine chick dipped for 2 years not to not fight her.
The best female boxer in Shields says Cyborg is a machine.
Jorina Baars Muay Thai champ, whom she fought with damn near no experience couldn't stop her.
Amanda is good but she's accustomed to being stronger and hitting harder than her opponents.
She's not going to have that advantage, plus a size difference plus Cyborg is underrated on the ground.
And if folks wanna shyt on her for steroids they better throw in
Mir
Silva
Jones
Belfort
Machida
And damn near all of Pride from mid 90's to the 2000's. All them dudes in Japan was dirty.....
Holm is world-class but she literally was outgunned like a muthafukka. If she didn't have ring/cage IQ and a good chin she would have been food. She threw one or two shots and stayed out of range because she physically was outmatched.
I watched Cyborg vs Gina two weeks ago..she put up a decent fight..lol.
