I believe Nunes can be the one to beat the one, and become the one to have ruined Ronda, Holm, and Cyborg - the holy trinity of MMA, and she shall rise above them as the undisputed goddess.
Nunes' strengths: Unafraid of Justino. Knows how to bull-rush. Knows how to endure a bull rush. Has been in the cage with some of the best in the world.
Her concerns: Her cardio could become an issue if the fight goes long, considering Justino's more frequent use of body shots. Being smaller, Justino wouldn't have that hard of a time bullying her around in close quarters, forcing Nunes to fight from the outside.
Justino's strengths: Master of the bull rush, the new Bob Sapp - unlike Sapp, she is known to have a good chin, great cardio, and a diverse platform of combat arts to choose from. She has a very high Fight IQ, as did greats like Jones and Fedor of days old (It could be argued that Fight IQ was the real factor behind the great success of both Jones and Fedor).
Her concerns: She has faced a long list of... well, 40 year old's, mothers, women who've either had a record at the time of 0-2, 1-3, 1-2, or some other bad record and retired shortly after. Very few of the fighters Justino has defeated have gone on to have interesting careers and top fights, which is why I call her the new Bob Sapp (I do acknowledge, on the other hand, she's dabbled in several combat arts and has demonstrated effectiveness in defeat and victory alike). I also believe that while most of her reputation was built against unworthy opponents, she will be forever image-broken the first time she takes a legitimate loss - and Nunes is exactly the kind of fighter it might take to beat Justino.
Who do you have winning and why?
