Nunes vs Harrison who do you got?

Nunes is 37 and hasn't fought in 2.5 years. Probably even she and her coaches don't really know if she's going to show up at 98% of her previous performance level, 90%, 75%, or a chunk less than that. Total crapshoot. My RNG rolled 85%, so I'm going to say a competitive fight but a win for Harrison, pickng 90% to be the break-even point.
 
I'm picking Kayla but if she looks bad at weigh ins, I wouldn't be surprised to see Amanda win.
 
It's an interesting matchup. On paper, based on what we know, for me it's kinda a wash. But if Amanda shows up looking like a retired fighter, all Kayla
 
I’m on the fence on this one. If Kayla gets it to the ground early of course she has the advantage, but not sure how she will fare if Nunes shows up in beast mode.
 
Harrison is the rightful favorite.

Nunes had her "flukey" loss to Pena when she had a 14 month old. You're not sleeping for shit with a baby in the house. Even if your wife gets up and handles it, you're still getting woken up every night.

Harrison had a flukey loss to Pacheco (who she beat twice before) a year after she adopted her niece and nephew, the youngest being around 2. Won't presume to know her kids, but 2 year olds like to wake up in the middle of the night and go wake up mommy. So Mommy isn't sleeping for shit.

Harrison's kids are now 6 and 13 and she's a new champ with everything to prove. Nunes' kids are now 2 and 5 and she has nothing to prove and spent the last 2.5 years hanging out with her kids and presumably skipping holiday junk food and Xmas dinner so she can make weight during fight camp? Yeah fuck that.

Dunno bc Nunes hasn't been around for awhile & Kayla sucks standing.

If it's the same ol lioness then she fucks Kayla up standing & has the bjj to defend herself if it goes to the ground. Nunes also had TDD, but who knows if it's gonna be the same Amanda Nunes that we were used to seeing. Ring rust is real, on the wrong side of 30, & some mileage on her. Kayla got legit wrestling, cardio, & strength. idk.

I feel like Kayla just because she's huge, and active. I feel like Amanda is going to look a little slow with the time away and the age, and inevitably end up underneath Kayla and get finished or completely controlled when she runs out of gas or will to defend. A lot of what made Amanda unstoppable was she was just a lot more physically potent than most of her opponents. She's unlikely to have that advantage with Kayla. She managed to get by it with Cyborg. But Amanda was still operating at or near her peak then, and Cyborg was willing to just trade allowing Amanda's vicious hands to be completely untethered. Kayla isn't going to do that. And Amanda's gastank suffers when she starts having to grapple from her back/inferior positions. If this was prime vs prime i'd easily pick nunes to knock her chin off. But this isn't going to be prime Amanda most likely. And i'm not sure she has enough left in the tank to overcome the physical difference between the 2 unless she just catches Kayla asleep at the wheel and clips her early.

The one thing I think is a possible X factor working against kayla herself though is how the weight cut ends up being. If it dosen't go to plan for Kayla, it could ruin her chances and completely drain her. She has looked super rough a few times on the scale.

Kayla is 35 so not sure if that matters. Also Kayla kills herself to make 135. Far worse then Amanda ever did. I think if Nunes can stop the TDs it will be an easy night.
 
we need a proper last run for John Cena this time

By the time this match happens Amanda will have been out for 2 years 6 months.

Didn't Amanda say she wanted to return back in January of this year? I'm going to assume she's been training this entire year, if not longer.

This is going to be a classic striker versus grappler match. I'd be surprised if Kayla throws more than a handful of strikes.

To be quite honest, neither of them has great cardio lol.

I think the better question is, The longer this match goes on, who has the advantage?
 
You can never count Nunes out, but she's also been away from the cage for a while. I feel like she can pull it off, though.
