Media Amanda Nunes confirms that she's coming out of retirement

[Speedy1]

There are so many better b-holes available to pay to look at.
Edit: Not the best sentence I have typed on this forum, but I stand by my intention.

Bad idea. If she needs money, she should just do sponsorships or start a podcast or something. All she’s doing is jeopardizing a very solid legacy.

Or, good idea because Harrison can't strike worth shit and this will add another Olympian and champion to her record and make a shitload of money. If she were worried about her losing and tarnishing her legacy, she could have retired after the Cyborg win.

Would there be any other reason she was in attendance? You dont see retired fighters at this kind of thing, she is probably returning for 1 more (at least) no matter who wins, Peña trilogy would be dumb and a fight no one asked for, or wants to see, Peña fluked her way in the first fight after taking a beating, then got beat up in the rematch, Harrison vs Nunes is somewhat interesting as its a new matchup that would had probably happened already had Peña not beat Nunes back then.

Agreed. Kayla/Nunes would be fun because it's a fresh matchup and it'll answer questions about Nunes time off.

I won't judge until I see her in an action, but that's a hell of a long layoff. She has the physical attributes to offset it, but still.

When an NBA player retires, they actually retire. When an NFL payer retires, they really retire. When an MLB player retires, they retire. When a UFC fighter retires, it's often an empty gesture as they later un-retire. Sure, lay your gloves on the Octagon floor....chances are it's bullshit.

Just another thing they have in common with Pro-Wrestling.

There should be a term for it, like "Flairtiring", or something...

When an NBA or NFL player retires they are usually financially set for life. There are active UFC fighters working gigs on the side.

but who was Michael Jordan, Brett Favre, Tom Brady?

Amanda Nunes is the undisputed GOAT of WMMA. She has nothing left to prove. Not a good idea. As much as I like seeing her fight and how WMMA became boring after she left, I don't think it is a good idea for her to come back and risk her legacy. She is most likely, past her prime as she has not fought in 2+ years.

You're listing sports that you actually make enough money to retire from.

We've seen this a few times; a fighter "retires" somewhat prematurely, but by the time they come back several years later, they're legit finished. Fedor retiring at 35 then coming back at 39 is a perfect example.

I'm not sure if that is true for NFL players. A lot of them probably make what top MMA guys do.

Eh.

If she loses to Kayla its not that big of a deal tbh

 

[Feaser]

Legacy do not pay bills.. also only people that care about legacy are the internet nerds or egomaniac fighters like Mayweather. Normal people gives tho shit about it.

If Amanda feels she can compete and not take damage in the process.. she has no reason not to come back and collect a few paychecks.

You’re right. I really don’t give a fuck about her legacy. Not sure why it even crossed my mind. Hope she fights till she drops.

 

[HHJ]

It ain't like nunes hasn't lost fights before.

Losing to Kayla at this stage doesn't tarnish her legacy imo.

Horrible idea. She'll lose and tarnish her legacy.

 

[Xanzito]

Would love to see her fight Kayla. If it's against Pena again, nah, im cool.
