Does Amanda Nunes have more of a chance against Cyborg then her previous opponents?

[SKITZADACTYL]

does amanda have more of a chance than the bums cyborg has been fighting? absolutely.


do i think she'll beat cyborg? nah.

If it was MMA Baars would have followed up with gnp and gotten the finish.

Baars is 1-3 in MMA though

Cyborg isn't impenetrable...

Spoiler

Yes... IMPENETRABLE...

LMAO I like how you posted that but also acknowledge that its irrelevant in the context of an mma bout with the GIF. Borg did well in spots in that fight but he faced a much taller specialist and was still competitive in spots.

I like how everyone seems triggered by my post teaching me about the difference between kickboxing and MMA, who that is etc...

While ignoring the purpose of the post... which was that Cyborg CAN be touched... MMA or Kickboxing...

Holm took her to decision...

So my point with the post was to illustrate that Amanda (with her crisp striking/boxing) has a chance to tag Cyborg...

Do I think that's gonna happen? Probably not but she DOES have a chance.

 

[FlippyHambone]

Yes.

Nunes is the only one that can defeat Cyborg any time soon.

Jorina baars would beat any female mma fighter in a kickboxing match

Almost. Germaine de Randamie and Antonina Shevchenko would be even at worst in international rules kickboxing.
Under full Thai rules with elbows, extended clinch work, sweeps, and dumps, both Shevchenko sisters would beat her ass.

Baars is 1-3 in MMA though

So she'd be 2-3.

 

[Tylerl90]

She has a better chance than most. Maybe about as even as Holm's chances were/are. But Nunes is still gonna get killed, make no mistake.

Does Nunes have a legitimate shot against Cyborg? I say no.

yes she going to be champ champ.

why do you think cris cyborg was looking any other can she could find instead.

 

[snackgod]

It depends on how scared Nunes is of Cyborg. If she's not afraid she has a decent chance of winning. If she's afraid. She will be gun shy and Cyborg will pick her apart.

nunes isn't scared she signed the deal long before cris did.

Wow didn't know they competed under full MT rules.

 

[IDGETKTFO]

I don't think Nunes has much of a change against Cyborg. I can't think of anyone I would choose over Cyborg though.

I think Cyborg vs Wand would be pretty competitive. Possibly even virtually identical.

Lol i only browse sherdog, 9gag and porn so... i wouldnt know

Forums for various topics used to be a lot more popular than they are now. Random video game, MMA, mp3 etc forums all tended to have some of their own vernacular, but +1 and "QFT" and shit like that was pretty popular everywhere.

I don't think she'll win, but of course Nunes has a much better chance against Cyborg than Leslie Smith or Lina Lansberg. I think she can make Cyborg respect her power, which is something her previous opponents had difficulty doing. But Nunes' style plays right into Cyborg's strengths, so she might have less of a chance than Holly did.

Weirdly, I think losing this fight would be the best thing for Cyborg's career. If she wins, there's no one for her to fight at FW and I don't think anymore top BWs will be moving up to fight her if she smashes Nunes. But if she loses, she's got a rematch and possibly a rubber match. Winning two out of three against Nunes could become her legacy defining rivalry, and probably would generate more interest than any of the rest of her fights has. That said, Cyborg wins.

 

[QcChopper]

That's as much of a high testosterone fight that you can have.

 

[WHITE ANDERSON]

Nunes has the best chance out of anyone Cyborg has ever fought, and I think she will beat Cyborg easy in the first round. Nunes will be the natty WMMA GOAT

WAR GAY PRIDE

 

[Wicked_1]

I think she comes in with confidence. Gets tagged, loses said confidence and wilts under cyborgs attck.
