Looking at Nunes's fight history; the past opponent that most resembles Cyborg is probably Julia Budd. Julia Budd is a huge, muscular (not quite as masculine looking as Cyborg, but...)145lb. kick-boxer. When they fought, Julia Budd looked way more impressive and intimidating at the pre-fight staredown. Then, the bell rang and Nunes knocked her fucking block off. Nunes ended that fight quick, fast, in a hurry. She didn't give a fight about how much bigger and more intimidating Budd looked.
Nunes will be returning to 145 for maximum power. Her striking has improved massively since the Budd fight and she's just as slick as Cyborg on the ground. Raquel Pennington, Nunes's most recent opponent - who is noted for her toughness - just wanted to give up part way through her fight with the Lioness. The pain and accumulating damage of Nunes's punches were literally unbearable.
I think people looking at this fight from the perspective of; Cyborg has big manly shoulders and has looked impresssive against under-sized truckstop waitresses...so she'll DESTROY Nunes. Well, the fight might not go as easily as you think it will.
