Is anyone picking Nunes to beat Tate?

With Nunes gas tank she'll be lucky to be upright by round 4 lol. Her cardio is pretty damn bad.
Ya good point. I was not really considering that Nunes has a tendency to gas. And Meisha is just to tough to finish early. So Meisha by round 3 submission over Zombie Nunes after Nunes punches herself out on Meisha's face in a horrific beating in round 2 where Meisha just keeps coming.
 
Nunes is really aggressive, but doesn't have the gas tank to last more than 1.5 rounds.

So, who have you got in this fight?
I have Tate for this reason. Nunes was clearly gassed by the 3rd round vs Shevchenko and lost that round. Nunes striking isn't better than Holly's, and Tate was able to avoid big strikes effectively; Nunes ground game is good, but I think Tate is just as skilled on the mat. Defensively, Tate is about the best Female fighter there is.

I see Tate outlasting Nunes and grinding her out for a decision win or a sub in the championship rounds.
 
I am. Eye was tuning up Tate and even McMann dropped her. As long as Nunes doesn't go full Lombard mode (which I don't trust her with) she could finish Miesha by taking her time
 
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.
Probably. You have to admit though first round Nunes is easily one of the most dangerous fighters in WMMA. Tate will likely eat some serious leather in the first five minutes.

McManns right hand is the most powerful in the division. And the opposite is actually true. I don't think Nunes can beat anybody by biding her time, it's not her style of fighting and she's simply not built for outpacing her opponent.
 
Miesha is definitely beatable lol I wouldn't be surprised if that title keeps getting passed around until Ronda comes back.

No doubt. That's why I said at moments it will be tenuous at times. Fact is Tate is in trouble in practically every fight she has. She just has an incredible will to win that basically exceeds everybody she fights. Tate by simply wanting it more.
 
Nunes has about 2 rds to try to put her to sleep or rock her hard enough to get a sub right after. If she cant, Tate by late stoppage or decision.
 
I'm picking the fans to win during the weigh ins.
 
Her parents, other than that, NO
 
My official pick is going to be Miesha, but I might bet on Nunes. Theoretically, Miesha should win this. But Nunes is WBW's Overeem/Vitor. She's got a good shot at them all early.

I know McMann is powerful but I'm talking about technique. If McMann can land then Nunes definitely will and I meant taking her time once Miesha is hurt (picking her shots) instead of just turning into a fucking ape like a lot of fighters do
 
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.
In the fourth? That is a bold prediction, Nunes will be exhausted by then
 
Also, I made a mistake in forgetting to post a Miesha Tate picture on a thread that mentions her

forgive me
Got to admit I raged pretty hard. Thanks for correcting this oversight.
 
I like both fighters, I'm hoping for a war and both fighters come out of it looking good.

But like most of you, I don't see Amanda's cardio holding up. Miesha will weather the storm, and come out on top.
 
Nunes has the tools to win, its a matter of being able to do it before she gasses and Meisha takes over.
