Bohn: She (Pena) seems to think the wrestling will pose a problem for you. Do you see something she brings that you haven't seen before?

Nunes: Honestly they all say the same thing. Since i won this belt, they all have said the same thing and no one has been able to stop me. She's next. I promise you she's not going to stop me with her wrestling. I will defend her takedowns, i will take her down and i will finish her on the floor. She's a good wrestler but she has alot of holes. Two strikers (Germaine and Valentina) submitted her. I will do the same.

Lioness by whatever she wants

Betting the house on nunes via ground n pound tko.

It seems to me that whenever a fighter becomes certain of their victory, they lose.

 

[TheIrishPsycho]

Champions think alike,

I'd finish her on the ground too.

Give Pena credit for securing a Title Shot by annoying the Champ . Won't end well for her though.

 

[Krixes]

I like Pena but she's gonna get fucked up. Nunes really learned how to wrestle after her Cat loss, and she's gotten pretty damn good at it.

 

[Fesaine]

Pointless fight.

Isn’t that Pena’s mindset, or pretty much every fighter’s mindset? Though I assume you’re talking about Nunes.

 

[Fergelmince]

That would be acceptable, but I'd rather see Nunes do this to that violent goon

 

[Raymundo Alvarado Guevara]

Nunes by any thing

 

[textwarrior]

Silva had, as Nunes has, an invincible fear factor in their division. Anyone can lose, but, if I were to guess who beats Nunes, if its before she gets old, I think Schevchenok showed the blue print for beating Nunes in Striking. I think a more technical sound striker than Nunes can do it. Will have to be able to keep it standing too or be able to take Nunes down with her striking.

I think it has to a person able to strike with Nunes on a technical level. That person has a chance at least. Then Nunes might look in trouble.

 

[Rawplier]

Nunes is finally saying what's going to happen before the fight. Stay with it.

Amanda is the mane!

 

[Slatersan]

I don’t even remember the last time I saw Pena fight

 

[Kenny Powerth]

Nunes will make this look easy

Pena has absolutely nothing for her

Actually Nunes straight up outwrestling Pena would be impressive. GDR subbed her but she wasn't outgrappling Pena IIRC

 

[Zaar]

That would be acceptable, but I'd rather see Nunes do this to that violent goon

I can see her fake a TD and then do something like that

 

[mmadeewana]

Champions think alike,

I'd finish her on the ground too.

i would rather take her back and ground and pound along with a gentle choke

 

[GordoBarraBJJ]

Germaine already chocked Pena out.

A rematch with GDR is the fight not feasting on GDR's leftovers.

Germaine had amanda doing everything and anything to avoid actually fighting - lay-n-pray, panic wrestling, wanting to be friends before the final round.

Germaine hasn't showed she can stop that takedown. She's also super inactive and getting up there in age. If she fights soon and displays improved TDD then a rematch would be easier to sell. She lost to Nunes twice already.
