Response to Holm's manger calling her a weak opponent : "How am I easier if his fighter was the one who got finished? She was put to sleep. Holly Holm couldn't defend herself because she lacks jiu-jitsu. If she fights Miesha again, she will be a weak opponent. In order to be a champion, you have to know at least a little bit of everything. With all due respect to the other athletes, I'm the most well prepared one."


Her cardio issues: "I lost to Cat at UFC 178, but since that loss, I've been winning and getting better. After that fight I have only been evolving. I came back stronger after all my losses. This is something I always do. I see where I need to improve and that helps me a lot. Even when I win, I notice my mistakes and I don't make them again. Something got in the way in the third round of my fight against Valentina Shevchenko, but it was no my cardio. We are working on it, because I was ready to fight for three rounds."


Fighting Cyborg: How close were you to face Cyborg? My vision was the belt. I did not want any other fight that was not the belt. She wanted to fight in a higher category. Once I get the belt, fight against any that comes. For me, what counts is the belt. She was coming now, I'm packed for the belt and would not add on anything this fight.

Meh fighters talking shit about other fighters..Holm is good but she has things to work on. Nunes is no different
 
you should cite your sources. its important to do this and its being lost in today's social media environment.
 
It's annoying that these girls are asked questions about that roid cheat who refuses to make weight. Of course Nunes would rather fight for the belt. She shouldn't even have to say it
 
She makes some fair points but to be well prepared you need to be prepared to 5 rounds with no issue, I don't think Nunes can go for that long, she will need to get a finish or she will be finished.
 
Thanks for bringing women into the UFC Dana. Their back and forth drama
every day in the media is a dream come true.
 
Ya the "weaker opponent" comments are pure BS. I could see Nunes taking down and submitting Holm. Who would be weaker then??

Yeah it's only cool when forum users trash fighters right?

Idk where I was going with that, I guess more or less meaning Nunes still has a lot to prove Holly has already held the belt even if for just a micro second
 
Well I have a feeling Nunes will get finished too. Holm is not wrong Nunes cardio is bad even her latest win against Valentina she gassed in round 3 lucky she didn't get finished. 5 round fight I'm going with Miesha for another later stoppage.

Umm..... Conor isn't a woman, though I can see how you'd be confused after Nate just Ike Turner'ed him.

Except Holly's team started it by bashing Nunes.

I've thought what nunes said in the very moment I read the words of that Fresquez dude, very disrespectful with Nunes and Tate in the same interview.
I thought it was just him, then I heard Holm herself, the whole camp is s bunch of whiny sorry asses, totally unsustainable.
I would like to see Holm vs Zingano, I think Holm would go out on a stretcher
