I know this fight isn't the most interesting fight, I must admit that I am not looking forward to it, and even an Interim is higher up and co-main to a bigger and more popular undisputed belt lol.

I am just interested if any of you sherbros are taking Nunes over Tate?

Nunes is really aggressive, but doesn't have the gas tank to last more than 1.5 rounds. The same happened in the fight with Zingano. I would definitely pick Shevchenko to beat her in a rematch if they were to have it (if Nunes were to beat Tate.)

So, who have you got in this fight?
 
She should be the clear favorite. She's a better striker and grappler than Miesha.
 
Also, I made a mistake in forgetting to post a Miesha Tate picture on a thread that mentions her

forgive me

I got Tate via big fight experience. If its not against Ronda, she seems to know how to turn it on for just long enough to handle business.
 
Nunes has a punchers chance, but Tate can take a punch.
also Nunes usually tires out midway in second round.
Tate was fresh as she was in rd. 1 in the 5th vs Holly.
If Nunes does not KO her in 1.5 rds ... Tate got it easy
 
Yep, I think Nunes win this!

(boy that will f*ck that division a little more)
 
Tate by 4 round submission imo but Nunes is no joke, she is evolving as a fighter and she is probably very comfortable on the ground with woman.
 
I got Nunes.I think people really overate meisha skill set.She is tough and stay with it but she is hardly dominant and i dont expect her to have more then 1 title defenses.This is the second time she has been champ and she lost the belt on her first defense last time.Since she came to the ufc she is 5-2,both legit losses,squeaked a win over carmouche somehow,squeaked a win over nakai,and nearly got finished before managing to outgrapple sarah mcmann.Fights jessica eye and dominates her for 2 and half rounds.And then got a hail mary sub on Holly.

She literally has 1 finish in 7 fights

All that being said i think Nunes takes the first 2 maybe 3 rounds and if she doesnt by then i see meisha taking over and getting a decision win
 
I feel like Tate is tough enough to survive being in there with Nunes for 2 rounds, and that is all you need... because Nunes is a two round fighter, she will gass horribly, be stopped in rounds 3 to 5.

You really think ALDO vs EDGAR is going to be more interesting than Tate vs Nunes? Why?
 
Nunes can Zingano. Meisha. Meisha likes to eat too many shots and that is dangerous against Nunes who hits real hard.

I am taking Nunes by 4th round horrific beating stoppage that Meisha complains about forever after.

Yes. I am. I love Miesha, but I got Nunes by late TKO.
 
I'd like to see nunes win as she's been working hard to get a shot but meisha is the favorite and if I had to bet money, it would go on Tate via fight IQ and cardio
 
She should be the clear favorite. She's a better striker and grappler than Miesha.
She also has poor cardio and is a front runner the total opposite of Miesha. Tate is tougher than a 2 dollar steak, I just can't envision Nunes by early finish. There will be a couple of tenuous moments but when she gasses Tate takes over.

With Nunes gas tank she'll be lucky to be upright by round 4 lol. Her cardio is pretty damn bad.
 
Tate starts slow and Nunes comes out strong. I think only in the first round and half does Numes have a chance. The longer the fight goes Miesha will take over, if she's behind, and will finish Nunes before its over.
