I actually think Nunes looks better at FW. I've always thought she was too big for 135 and has had cardio issue down there. I think she holds that belt for a long time.

Nunes wins the rematch too. Cyborg will be tentative and do the complete opposite next time and she’s ageing. Amanda is still getting better

@Fish Ronda smoked Zingano, Cat smoked Nunes. What @free just said. Those guppies were all badasses back then.

Did Nunes just say "My coach told me: 'when she gets desperate she'll try to stiff arm you so you knock her out with the overhand right' and that's what I did."?

That's incredible. That's true flawless execution.

A Gustafsson win will be a win for the sport. I don’t know why I bet on a nunes KO instead of a first round KO. Winnings going on gus

Bruce that was early in Amanda's career. Even GSP lost to hughes and serra. Does that make him not the WW GOAT?

Nunes is better than Rousey is, ever was, or ever will be. Her record is already better. She fought Cyborg when Rousey ducked her her whole career. She's a two division champ with wins over former champs and the current 125 champ. She has multiple title defenses.

She's the GOAT.

@freemoneyforall Yeah, no doubt her coach is amazing, but still, that's some Anderson Silva-esque discipline. The more desperate her opponent becomes, the calmer and more clinical Nunes is. Most people see their opponents hurt and start flailing around aimlessly, giving their opponents time to grab a leg and recover. While Nunes... Well, I'm going to quote Seanbaby here, but if you were the greatest warrior who ever lived and you had ten minutes to plan the ultimate finisher, the answer you would come up with wouldn't be very different from that punch.

The jury is still out on just how good she actually is, for all we know she might have gotten lucky, but this is a really, REALLY good thing to see in a fighter that is already blowing her competition out of the water as of now.
