so what exactly is wrong with nunes

Doctors found nothing wrong with her. Make her fight or strip her. Dana needs to give her an ultimatum. They have to nip this in the bud. Can't let this be a precedent that other irresponsible fighters will follow. Make an example of this abomination.
 
i'm a bit confused with this, "chickening out" theory. are the people who believe this say it because they think she's scared of valentina? so then amanda went through all that training, weight-cutting, and overall preparation just to bail out at the last minute? that makes absolutely no sense.

i agree more with the bad weight-cut theory. just like cyborg, she has too much muscle and needs to lose it for easier weight-cuts. or drop down.

Maybe shev was on to something when she said Nunes was feeling the pressure.
 
Heard she went to the same sushi restaurant as Overeem.

Sounds to me like the great duo of Bloat and De-Hydration that are all symptomatic of a terrible and untimely weight cut. I am not doctor as only play one on television but know all the related fighter syndromes and where and how they leave you feeling...yes, nauseated, stomach indigestion, dehydrated, tired as a mo-fo, etc. It is called scientific to do it the right way and part of the professional process of being a fighter paid to perform on fight day.
 
Doesn't sound realistic to say she was so scared that she chickened out. Main event of the biggest card of the year... it probably killed her to think she had to back out, much less do it. Chances are it was the Khabib weight cut drain that left her struggling.

She is been ducking Shevchenko for a long time thats why she wanted to fight Ronda
His problem is she knows she cant finish Valentina in those first 2 rounds
 
Obviously she has a belly full of spoiled beef curtain juice.
 
Hmmmm,I'm wondering if she's worried about a piss test.
 
This is one of two things:

1 - She's scared and chickened out.
2 - She couldn't handle the weight cut

Either way, Dana needs to sort this out to make sure it doesn't happen again with other fighters.
 
If the doctors cleared her to fight and she chose not too she should be stripped.
this!
I would go even further and say if it is weight cut related, she should be stripped as well. final weight cut is a part of the deal.
only if she was indeed sick the week before and tried to tough it out, but only got worse. or if it some accident. then she could be forgiven.
