Kayla vs Pena looked like if Prime Lesnar fought Prime Diego Sanchez.

[DiazSlap]

The size, strength and grappling difference was off the charts and Pena got manhandled.


DC and Anal-Anik kept talking about how Kayla was too much of a favorite at -650 but it should have been -2000.


That was the very definition of a mis-match.

Lesnar would've torn Diego's limbs off and used them as clubs. Gtfo

You fool, that is what Kayla almost did.

Thats why Julio Pena tapped in like 1.5 seconds.

 

[HHJ]

That was a sweet move to switch from arm triangle to kimura w seconds left

The speed at which Pena tapped shows you the torque Harrison generated.

Nunes is a different beast but I don't know how much she's lost since retiring and getting older.

Harrison's striking improved. She at least used feints to set them up at least, which made pena gunshy.

But against the Nunes that we knew, that Nunes was a master of distance control.

Harrison might have to eat some shots to grab a hold of Nunes, and can she eat those shots?

How in bloody h*ll did someone so limited as Pena beat Nunes?

Was Nunes fighting with 2 broken legs?

I still think we're only seeing Kayla at maybe 70-80%. The 135 cut is literally almost killing her the day before she gets in the cage and that has to impact her. It'd be like Brock needing to make 205.

It's why despite it making sense at 145, Nunes wants to face Kayle at 135. She'll always be a bit drained fighting so well below her natural weight.

You can't always be at your best every time.

Even if you had a great training camp, preparation, no injuries, you might just show up and feel like shit or just not perform like you usually do. Fighting is a hard job hahaha

Gotta hand it to Julianna. She somehow managed to be a 2x champ while not being the best in her division at any point. It’s insane to see a champ get handled in that manner.

Nunes looked huge too. I know she's wearing clothes and all that but when they stood next to each other I was like damn. Nunes ain't small.

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

In more ways than one!

 

[World eater]

You’ve got to appreciate a kimura when someone pulls it off. We don’t see them much anymore.

 

[Haj01]

Kayla has man strength. In a good way lol. She can just beast through people. That's a lifetime of Judo. Not even Honda with vtec power was that powerful.

Nunes also has really good TD defense and is get at popping back up if she does go to the ground. I would pick prime Amanda, but as you say, it is uncertain what she will look like when he comes back. At this point I'm cautiously picking Kayla.

 

[smiles mma]

Way more technical as well. Pena is a joke

Well then Nunes must have been at her absolute worst AND injured and possibly drugged.
