UFC 269 On ESPN+ PPV [12/11] “Blood Diamond” (Oliveira/Poirier, Nunes/Pena)

[Ironman]

1) Nunes has been fighting at 145 and maybe the cut back to 135 + Covid hurt her stamina + punch resistance
2) Juliana is legit crazy and little to no fear of anything (she got into a fight with a bouncer at a bar and kicked him in the nuts), she was probably the only fighter not intimidated by Nunes
3) Juliana has the best stamina + chin the the division and Nunes was probably shocked that she couldn't hurt her or tire her out on the ground.
4) Juliana's string is so unorthodox it probably caught Nunes off guard like Mayweather vs Maidana.

I'm a huge fan of Pena since she won TUF as the last picked fighter, I'm happy to see her win the title, even if its probably not long lived.

The weight loss alone would do damage but covid definitely didn't helpThe rona has been hitting athletes hard

valentina about to swoop in and take that belt now that nunes got better shyt to do

if we being real ... Valentina clearly won that second fight with Nunes that they ruled a bullshyt "split decision" .... there's a reason why both Nunes and Dana White have constantly said no to another match between Nunes and Valentina

 

[Ari Gold Bawse]

Nunes too attached to that baby that technically isnt hers

135 is too much for her to make now, her stamina was finished.

now its time for Queen Shevchenko to be double champ

 

[Ribbs]

Feel like that was rigged

There's always a "rigged" post when a favourite loses

 

[ChatGPT-5]

Would never

how come this is going with dustin's entrance

 

[No Ma’am]

Feel like that was rigged

Nunes definitely looked out of character, but she never seen someone who can take her punches flush, she usually knocks out people in the first 2-3 minutes of the fight.
Maybe she has Tyson tendencies where she mentally quits if the initial outburst fails.
The only difference between Pena and Shevchenko/GDR is that they tried to outbox her, whereas Pena literally cannot outbox anyone, she has one boxing strategy which is to go on the front foot with jabs and right hooks.
Also I think Nunes underestimated Pena, as she's seen as a joke by the media and most fans due to her very childlike and immature nature.

You the think she threw it?

I honestly feel like they needed to make a villain for Nunez

Something is off for me. I barely saw Nunez tap. The next fight will draw so much more money and if Nunez wins, you get a third money fight

Moment of silence for all those dead parlays.

Man I'm mad as shyt, Amanda has never looked that slow and out of shape imo, she was bullying her on the ground. It tired her out like a mf though, she paid for it.

Her hands looked slow, her body looked slow. Strong as hell, but visually a lot slower than usual.

 

[sportscribe]

fukkin Juliana Pena who got subbed by fukkin Germaine De Randamie just jabbed the hell out of Amanda Nunes

Funny enough, Germaine gave Nunes all that she could manage on the feet, so she took her to the ground.

If she had the same mentality as Pena she may have won that fight, because she is a superior striker.
