except that you're all about the hype train. you don't like RR because others really like her, not because of her. you don't care about Nunes for the same reason (because she has no following) - if she did my guess is you'd have strong feelings for her.
two sides of the same coin, my friend. not unlike Cosell's famous quote i'm surely butchering "i don't care if they like me or hate me, as long as they're talking about me at the water cooler."
there's a lot of interesting aspects to this bout. Nunes has done great, but re-watching (or quite likely watching for the first time) her bout with Cat may bring her down to earth about how to beat her. whereas RR's skills and holes need no re-review; i'm sure you know all about them. can RR beat her on the ground? get an armbar from some random position? can she get a throw in the first place? has she learned patience or will she rush into jabs and crosses with her arms wide open ala her HH bout? similarly, does Nunes stick and move? or will she allow in-fighting which could lead to a judo throw? how will her well-discussed bjj do against an armbar specialist?
it could be an interesting bout, if you cared about any of it. but you're more concerned with hype trains. just one asshole's opinion. i could be wrong; OTOH this could be a good time for introspection instead of defensiveness on your side. no offense meant either way. cheers.
