Former UFC champion advises Kayla Harrison against Amanda Nunes fight https://share.google/s1uzgeqi2dgQx6jWu

DJ says that Amanda's resume and who she has faced by itself makes it a bad match up for Kayla. Says she does not have the experience necessary to be in the cage with Amanda.


I tend to agree. Kaylas sole Hope is that she can get Nunes down and keep her there.

On the feet this is slaughterhouse city.
 
Good thing Amanda is a frontrunner. If Kayla can endure and punish Amanda on the ground, she'll wilt.
Please explain the “frontrunner” part?

You’re not going to be silly enough to use Amanda vs Pena for that are you?

Amanda HAD Covid.

Please show me what you mean by “frontrunner”.

Who was she beating that came back to beat her? Should be easy if she’s what you say she is.
 
I feel like if Amanda lost to Pena while she was active and in her prime then Kayla has a solid chance. I also think am under the assumption that Kayla isn't going to foolishly stand in front of Nunes relying on eating punches trying to prove a point.

She was cleared from covid and good to return to action. Don't buy that for a second. She underestimated Pena and paid for it.
Without digging into her resume, Zingano put a beating on her after she wilted.
 
Amanda hasn't fought fon how long now? 3 years? Kayla could grab hold of her and smack her botty like a petulant child!

Not that I agree with the frontrunner thing, but Shevchekno kinda did in one of their fights, the first one i think
 
New to the sport so didnt watch MM fighting, but his podcast is just not for me. Don’t like the questions, the style, humor. None of it. Since when is fighting the best a bad thing?
 
It's not a bad idea at all, even if she gets ko'd. There's no other fight she should take.

All that cutting she has to do to get to 135, should be for the biggest fight that can be made and this is it.

It's not just that one fight, three of her five losses started with her dominating the first round and slowing down drastically.
Same thing happened in her first fight with Schev where she lost the third after dominating the first.
A fast twitch athlete with 50% of her fight ending with her finishing her opponent in the first round slowing down as the fight goes on is expected.

Dont get DJs point. As he said himself before, you have hundreds of ways to prevail in a fight. Kayla is probably the strongest female fighter and the best grappler, she has to capitalize on that, end of story. I dont see the danger in that fight, sure she can lose but the reward could be huge. she also has the chance to fight a big name. Anyway, i m all for this one, especially if it helps to keep the penningtons of this world as far as possible of my eyes
