jaedmc Posted June 7, 2020 Posted June 7, 2020 Good fucking night. I was really looking forward to the third round because Assuncao was keeping it interesting - but speed fucking kills.
Jiji Posted June 7, 2020 Posted June 7, 2020 That hand speed and power have always been out of this world, among the best. Hopefully he can hide his chin with a more measured approach. Would love to see Petr Yan and he fight, two of the best sets of hands in the sport.

I go back to this I know Anik said he was still working with him BUT I don't know if his uncle is right for him as a striking coach. Is your uncle going to be honest with your about all your mistakes?

He won the title with one of the best gameplans I've ever seen, then decided to fight 3 of the dumbest fights of all time. When he fights with intelligence, he's really hard to deal with, but I don't know if i trust him to do that.

Elsalvajeloco Posted June 7, 2020 Author Posted June 7, 2020 This reminds me...Nunes still has that old UFC belt because this is her first defense.
Jiji Posted June 7, 2020 Posted June 7, 2020 Going from Jedrzejczyk/Weili to this... One feels like women's MMA has met or succeeded men's MMA in terms of skill and then there's this. You should not be fighting for a title if your best quality is your chin. Hopefully they can retire this division after Nunes gets the record for defending two belts. There just isn't the depth. It would suck for the few 145 lbs fighters they have but this just isn't good and the division needs to develop more before being in this kind of position. 1
supremebve Posted June 7, 2020 Posted June 7, 2020 Terrible cornering, there is no reason for this fight to still be going on. 1
jaedmc Posted June 7, 2020 Posted June 7, 2020 Someone save this woman from this fifth round. don't let her go out.

Even with a Kayla Harrison...the Larissa Pacheco fight showed her standup is just not there yet. She is a 7 or 8 in terms of being a grappler but maybe a 5 or 6 at best in terms of striking. There is no one in PFL to push her to get better.

John E. Dynamite Posted June 7, 2020 Posted June 7, 2020 (edited) My biggest takeaway from tonight are those historically bad scorecards. If you scored that 50-45 Nunes you should not legally be allowed to sign up for Fight Pass, much less judge. Edited June 7, 2020 by John E. Dynamite 3
DreamBroken Posted June 7, 2020 Posted June 7, 2020 Insane KO from Cody, hell of a return to form. Main event went as expected. Felicia's badass and her durability would get her through to the end but that's about it. Nunes is the best.
Jiji Posted June 7, 2020 Posted June 7, 2020 (edited) I would be fucking furious if I were in Spencer's shoes. Completely demeaning. I know Nunes is trying to show respect but come on. edit: Maybe I've been watching too much sports anime or some shit, but that is a no no in my head right now. Maybe I'm facked tho.

Wait are we thinking that it is demeaning because of how ugly that belt looks? Oh look Connor has retired again. Yeah Dana is having a horrible 2 months Edited June 7, 2020 by hammerva 1

Nunes has beaten both former champs (Cyborg and de Randemie). Now she's beaten Spencer, who is a former Invicta FW champ and has herself beaten the other two women who have held that belt. I mean, if we need a #1 WFW contender it pretty much has to be Megan Anderson, but that's just because there's literally nobody else. 17 minutes ago, John E.
