Or a shirtless skype session.

Stay outside. Run. Land more number of jabs and teep kicks. 48-47 on judges score cards

I think she gets caught tho. Likely in 1st round

Well done!!

 

[Jesus H. Sherdog]

Lololol

 

[Trotsky]

Thought it was a fine stoppage. Nunes was headhunting like a mf all that round.

 

[HockeyBjj]

Never mind. Seeing replay she wobbled 3 times getting up. Not a slightly sexist early stoppage

Fuck, we bash them a lot, but being in the cage deciding exactly when to stop a fight is a damn near impossible job. This ref just saved Holly from increased brain damage

Did you catch the replay? She was cooked. Watching live it looked like Holly was still in it.

ed: ah, you did

Meh, there are some refs who almost never get it wrong, and others who consistently stop fights early or late. It's a matter of training imo. There is no unified curriculum and some refs are working due to their slobknobbing of commission officials or (I'm guessing) nepotism.

 

[Trotsky]

Nunes has shoulder and back broadness of a man. Definitely where her crazy power comes from

Haha, I don't think so. I've never noticed shoulder/back broadness to correlate with power (see: Hughes, GSP, Okami, Sonnen all dishing out bug bites on the feet) as much as upper leg thickness/weight concentrated at the center of the body (see: Rashad, Josh Koscheck, Cormier, BJ).

But who knows. It's all pseudoscience.

 

[waiguoren]

Man, I was on Cormier over Miocic the first time, but Cormier looks so old and obese now. In the rematch, I can see myself on either side at this point.

 

[waiguoren]

Santos is the most dangerous opponent Jones has faced since TRT Belfort. There is a real chance he stops Jones here. I'm not betting on it though.

Pure pseudoscience observation, but I feel like with the women there's a critical mass missing to being able to generate rotational power and actually getting the trunk into punishes rather than just the arms. Even the wmma girls that look like they know what they're doing don't have that actual stunning power.

Nunes hits like a man with training. The broadness is what's stuck out to me as different with her. Maybe once into athletic men's size, that critical line is crossed so anything more doesn't much matter? (cause you're dead on about those guys being built and they can maul people, but don't have sleeping power) Maybe it is just like the movie Goon, some people are simply touched by the fist of God, and that's all there is to who does and doesn't have that one punch knockout power.

Also, KO power is the only, only thing Jones doesn't have.

He's about to face the most prolific KO artist in middleweight history. Jones had better plan on grappling here.

 

[HockeyBjj]

I just want to see this guy stand in front of Jones and actually fight, not freeze up in fear and do nothing like so many of them do

Jones has an iron chin tho. Cormier blasted him on multiple occasions, and Jones never looked stunned or hurt at all. Just maybe a sore neck from it whipping back

 

[HockeyBjj]

Queen walkout?

It's true, but Santos is significantly more dangerous than Cormier on the feet.
