Nunes is a massive favorite -600 to beat Spencer in the main event. Nunes best wins were by quick stoppages with her heavy hands in the 1st round. Much like the best wins of Tyron Woodleys career. Then she tends to gas and has struggled with grapplers in the past like Cat Zingano. Spencer has shown he took the very best punches from Cyborg,did not get hurt and had great Cardio. Plus her coming from a grappling background, and the cage being much smaller, she has alot of advantages to make a huge upset Saturday.
Also i think Nunes robbed Shevchenko in the rematch. Out of the majo.r. 20 mma media websites scoring the fight. It was a even 9-9. Split with 2 scoring it a draw. From what i remember most mma fans thought it was too close to score with a slight majority thinking Valentina Shevchenko pulled out the win. And If Valentina had won, she would have avenged all looses in her career carmouche/nunes and we would be discussing her as the best female of all time right now.
The Cyborg victory i chaulk up to carelessly reckless fighting on both fighters and Cyborg thinking she was invincible Because she basically has neverm lost a mma fight Her entire career excluding her very 1st pro fight. If there was a rematch i honestly believe Cyborg would win and fight much more cautious being the much better technicall striker and overall better fighter. But due to Politics and backstage UFC drama therematchh never would have happened. Cyborg being very outspoken against the organization, difficult to control, asking for lots of money and generally being a pain in the ass ended any chance of a rematch anytime soon.
When we look at a goat, we look at overall skill, size and level of competition. Unfortunately Amanda Nunes is the best fighter in a very shallow weight class, compared to 115 where the best talent and overall skill is at. Not her fault but being the best at the shallow weight class is not as impressive as a more deep weight class and strength of competition. Its like Kayla Harrison being the greatest 155 female fighter of all time. While true, it would be unfair statement to say shes the greatest of all time.
Ronda Rousey had a insane -1250 odds to beat Holly Holm in their match and i felt she could not take Holm down and Holm was gonna beat her up standing. So this huge upset is not impossible as some might think. Felicia Spencer might get beaten to a bloody pulp Saturday but she might pull off the gigantic upset. Either was i dont think in 10 years Amanda Nunes will be the đ
