So whats the call on Nunes vs Cyborg?

Cybro is huge.
Next to RDA who last fought at 170.

I hate to say it as I'll be rooting for Amanda, but Cyborg is just too strong. TKO in the 5th. 4th is probably the smarter bet but I'm giving Amanda some props. I just dont see how she doesn't gas to the manly strength of Cyborg and wilt under the stalking aggression and power punches.

I see a high level wrestler beating Cyborg, she has shown deficiencies in the clinch and takedown defense. Maybe Holly can beat her if she keeps training her wrestling.

Shoes and closer to the camera. They are the same height.

 

[Felsh]

I think Nunes will beat her with strikes

That may be.. But she is a 145 fighter and he is a 170 fighter.
How do you think Frankie a male 145 fighter looks next to RDA?
I know how he looks next to Cyborg.....
She is still huge for a female 145 fighter.

Nunes by decision.

I think people want to think that Cyborg will wilt when faced with an actual fight, someone who doesn't break and stands up to her and tries to punch her. They want to think Cyborg can't handle adversity because she has not had to deal with it in the last ten years.

And I think those people are going to be disappointed.

I believe Holly is Cyborgs most difficult fight. Holly is bigger, stronger, and has good range and kickboxing. If Holly couldn't beat her, I don't see anyone else that can. I really don't see how Nunes can beat her. I think Cyborg is technically superior. Cyborg by tko rd 3-4

No idea but I am routing for Nunes.

Hope its a war!

Saw Nunes recently with her GF, on the UFC videos for her fight...and she looked very out of shape. I remember thinking "doesn't she have a fight very soon?".

If Nune's cardio is better at 145, then I think she can take this.

 

[SteveTaylor]

Tall order for Nunes at 145 especially. And I doubt Cyborg going to come in to give anyone a charity fight so...could be ugly early and often for Nunes I think. Great match up nevertheless and going to be a great fight for however long it lasts!

Will her head ever stop growing? It's already bigger than RDA's.

RDA is a 155er who moved up though. I wouldn't call her huge for a 145er. Not compared to Holly or even Yana Kunitskaya, two bantamweights. Plus, she's smaller than Megan Anderson.

Nunes is getting written off hard on these forums. I honestly believe Nunes has better finishing instincts than Cyborg, and may even punch harder. But Nunes doesn't sound as confident as she should imo. I'm going with Cyborg now, but I really feel Amanda can knock her dead if Cyborg comes in full Wanderlei.

This. Cyborg hasnt looked as much of a killer in her recent fights.

Nunes is awesome, she's less prone to gassing out now, seeing how she performed against Shevchenko and Pennington. Its going to be a tough fight for Cyborg.

 

[Shaddows]

"Nunes finished Nunes" ?

hehehe ops!
My bad. Cyborg finishes Nunes or they go to decision.

 

[Quietus]

First 3 rounds will be competitive, then Nunes gasses and Cyborg doesnt thanks to the special sauce. Nunes was finished by Cat Zingano after gassing in round 3, shes better now but the gas will still become a problem. So, Cyborg by round 4 tko.

 

[Willek]

Nunes gasses and Cyborg runs a train on her ass while Nina watches
