Chael is usually a shameless troll but his analysis of what happened to Amanda is spot on

As far as I can tell he's the first MMA "journalist" to outright say that Nunes quit. People like DC were being conciliatory by beating around the bush and saying "wow she tapped really fast, hooks weren't even in" when he damn well knows what happened

He's not wrong about the choke.
The sub wasn't locked in.
It's crazy for a champion to walk away from their belt like that.
 
Luke Thomas had said that Amanda could beat a lot of men. So how did she lose to a female can. It was like a dream. Did it really happen? It couldn't possibly have happened.

When BJ choked Matt Hughes, Hughes said he was basically happy to lose because the pressure was getting too heavy.

"So I'm not calling Amanda a quitter, but in that moment, she checked out" - Chael Sonnen

Did you even watch the vid? Sounds like a contradiction or typical hedging to me.
 
Can't say I disagree, She got baited into a slug fest she didn't need to have and kept eating a jab trying to just chuck over hands and hooks with no set up fishing for 1 big shot to spell the end, emptied the gas tank, and quit when she still had definite outs she could attempt to get out of the choke. First round she was doing perfectly fine. Then a completely different amanda came out for the second. A bit similar to her most recent loss before it to zingano(sept 2014) where she got out to an early lead, and emptied the tank.

Did you? He explained exactly what he meant.

What I want to know is which Kamaru Usman fight is he talking about?
