• Xenforo Cloud will be upgrading us to version 2.3.5 on March 3rd at 12 AM GMT. This version has increased stability and fixes several bugs. We expect downtime for the duration of the update. The admin team will continue to work on existing issues, templates and upgrade all necessary available addons to minimize impact of this new version.

Rate Nunes's Jiu Jitsu.

She is a female Erick Silva: great for a round, average afterwards.
 
rate it based on blue and purple belt matches from who knows how long ago?
 
Not as good as Tate's
Really? Tate isn't exactly a BJJ wizard, she is a purple belt and has only subbed a white belt in her 7 fights in the UFC, not to mention her BJJ was pretty much useless against Rousey.

Her no gi game is much better than her gi game. Not to mention her wrestling is amongst the best in wmma.

She subbed marloes coenan fwiw
 
The main difference imo is their gas tanks. Tate has one. Nunez doesn't.

I haven't actually seen that fight but wasn't it a scramble and a mistake from coenen? She couldn't sub Carmouche or McMann and both have them have been subbed in the UFC, Nunes subbed McMann IIRC. Not saying Tates BJJ is bad at all just asking isn't Nunes a legit black belt?
 
Fair point, I feel Nunes can shock people if she can keep her cardio in check.
Well, she's shown throughout her entire career that she can't. It'd be nice if this was the one fight where she could fight at a high pace the entire time but all evidence points to her gassing after a round or two.
Its unfortunate because her all around skills rank amongst the best in the division and she's a finisher but her cardio is terrible.

No mistake in a scramble. Miesha was taking her down at will and controlling her the entire fight before Marloes gifted her an arm triangle by throwing some stupid elbows off her back while Tate was in side control.

True, I feel like Nunes is the more skillful fighter but Tate is far more durable.
 
Nunes is better everywhere but as every other post already said she can fight for 1.5 rounds then everything falls apart.

Not really a scramble. Tate got the better of her on the ground for about two minutes and got an arm triangle. That was coenan's first sub loss too. I don't know much about nunes in terms of BJJ, but Miesha isn't too bad on the ground.

You should watch that fight though. It's pretty good.
