Both are mostly strikers with a lot of power. Amanda has been known to have cardio issues and I haven’t seen any cardio issues with Cyborg recently but she has been fighting more efficiently and economically than in the past, she also finishes her opponents in the early rounds normally so we haven’t gotten a look at long term cardio although she looked great in the recent Holm fight. Cyborg also seems to have a high Fight IQ.

Both have cleaned out their divisions so a super fight between the two is a good idea especially since they are both strikers. Everyone loves a striker super fight.


I’d say that Cyborg takes Amanda out in the first or second round vis TKO.

never gonna happen, rarely Brazilians will fight each other.

How do I see it going? I can tell you one thing that's a 100%, if this shit ever happens we'll witness a shit ton of broken English in post fight interviews.
 
Nunes has a better chance than Holly even though she'll most likely get finished.
 
I see Nunes

Nunes will gas and get finished.

I doubt it will ever happen, unless Nunes loses the belt and needs a big fight.
 
I don't see Nunes going the distance. She likes to pressure forward and I expect that would lead to Cyborg getting hold of her and and mauling her out within the first few rounds. If she hangs back more cautiously and fights at range, I'd see a less entertaining fight with her lasting longer, but the same result.

One thing Cyborg seems to be doing really well right now is to not feel like she needs to over-extend herself to destroy her opponents in 1 round for her image. She's willing to fight smart, but still aggressive.
 
I see a pretty competitive striking match tbh. I think Nunes has crisper, more powerful striking than Holm. Cyborg probably wins but I think it would be a close fight in which both of them would take some hard shots. I would have to see the size difference to either confirm or change my initial thoughts on this potential fight though.
 
if you want to destroy 135 lbs even more, sure lets go, 135 lbs division is already dying, so let's imagaine what will happen if Nunes will lose to Cyborg.
 
Cyborg via cardio. She can go 5 rounds while still throwing with heat.
 
Cyborg is bigger, more technical, and has better cardio. I haven't seen Nunes eat big shots the way Holly did so I'm not sure if her chin would hold up. That said, I see a late finish or UD for Cyborg.
