For the record I dont think CM Punk would for sure beat Nunes. I dont really know the answer. Just saying that it would not be such an easy task for any woman, including Nunes, to dismantle a trained "young" man 30lbs heavier than her. Yes, including Punk.
I don't know. The skill gap between Mike Jackson and CM Punk was massive. The promotion purposely looked for the worst fighter on the roster in order to give Punk a boost into the sport, and Punk still looked like he didn't belong in there whatsoever.
For the record, I think Nunes would have a lot of trouble against Jackson. IMO, Nunes is probably around the same level as Jackson in terms of fighting capability. She is far more talented, but is hindered by a big physical disadvantage—it pretty much breaks even. Both would dismantle >99% of the population but both would also get trashed by any ranked male fighters.
Im also saying than if we watched CM Punk in the cage with Felicia Spencer, he would not look so terribly clumsy and unathletic as it looked to you.
The way he walked through Jackson's punches in order to get a body lock, pressed him against the cage, managed to take him down and passed guard would look more powerful and "skilled" if he applied all those skills and physicality on Miss Spencer.
Fundamentally, I agree. But he only did one thing right in a slew of wrongs. Just in his movement, Punk is clearly slower and less coordinated than the top female fighters. He is definitely stronger but that's not enough.
