I'm hoping this one won't be, but I could definitely see it being a little like Ngannou vs Lewis. I was a much bigger fan of Nunes before the second schevchenko fight, but she really made that a stinker by not moving forward which is ridiculous because Valentina does not hit hard. It was like she was worried about getting counter KO'ed, and she's ******* huge compared to Schevchenko. He stock really dropped with me after that.
Cyborg has been more technical as of late and I can see a lot of bobbing and weaving from her, and a lot throwing outside of distance/low kicks from Nunes. Very much doubt they both really go out there headhunting and it is much more likely to be a very closely contested fight with not a huge amount thrown.I think it will get interesting from round 3 onwards.
I'll take Cyborg by decision, but a late stoppage in the closing moments of the 4th or 5th wouldn't make me **** a chicken. I still doubt Nunes' cardio, and pure boxing defense moreso after the Pennington fight. Granted she put a shellacking on Raquel but she definitley had a big gas slump in the later rounds and got tagged with some significant shots that caught her attention.
I don't see Cyborg having much of a problem landing on her, especially late.

This is the best WMMA fight they can make IMO. Nunes really is ******* huge and has no excuse not to fight up. I hope it delivers. But if we see the Nunes who fought vs Schevchenko who isn't fighting to win, but not to lose, it will be a fizzer.

@free$
I'm not hating on wmma at all. Earlier I said I respect them and their toughness. I'm just saying that I personally don't enjoy watching it. Different strokes for different folks.

@fish men have way way way more fights then women do on any givin card so in fact the men produce way more borring fights. I've even read you're posts for the past four months and you've complained about mens matchs u didnt like more then womans. And i find the top ten women almost always produce a great fight.
The problem with cyborg and nunez is the obvious use of ped's. I would assume women in general are less likely to be willing to use steroids. U cant blame someone not on roids for losing to someone on them.
It's the same argument we make to defend dc for his loss to jones. You can say that about everyone cyborg has fought except maybe the last two holm and kunitskya.
Side bar @fish i got a question. At the south west of austrailia on maps as a kid in school i remember a large
Land mass island just off the coast. I thought it was tazmania or new zealend. I came across the mandela effect online have u heard about this ****?
It says that the island land mass is now gone and on the east side. If i remeber correctly that u are austrailian who better to ask no?

It may be a sign of how narcissistic and deluded people have become. 'Oh it can't be me--must be a glitch in the matrix! '
Tasmania is off the south eastern area of Australia. It is not actually an island because it is connected to the greater land mass under the sea. It's always been where it is, and I personally don't have a Mandela effect moment thinking about it. Very beautiful place...really nothing like the rest of Australia.
The large land mass you are thinking of might be Indonesia. It's not Southern, but it is Western and is included in a lot of maps of Australia for whatever reason. Either that or East Timor.
In summation, Tasmania is where Tasmania has always been, and the mandela effect is a crock of ****.
