Chachie Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 (edited) 48 minutes ago, NoCalMike said: For me the Nunes v. Cyborg fight will come down to how well Nunes fights going backwards. She is usually the aggressor and gets on top of opponents with pressure. This may be the first fight she ever has where her opponent is the bigger aggressor. Bones v. Gus. I felt Gus won a close fight the first time, and if the rematch had happened within a year of that fight I might have called for an upset in favor of Gus. However, Gus has been in too many wars since then, I am not sure how he holds up this time if he takes some of those same brutal shots. He shook them off pretty well in the first fight but I am not sure that his chin is still at that level. Bones is a cheater, which is a shame, because he is still a beast. I think Bones is gonna wax Gus this time. Condit is not the same guy he was 5 years ago. 😕 Edited December 30, 2018 by Chachie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like Jon Jones one bit. I don't like his smug face. I'd love to see him get laid out. I just don't think Gus is what he was.

Malapropismic Depository Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 It almost looked like Nunes did not miss a punch. She probably did, but I'd love to see the percentage of her strikes that connected. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StillUnknown Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Cyborg fought uncharacteristically stupid tonight. she left all her technique and went for pure aggression. She underestimated Nunes' power or overestimated her chin and paid a heavy price 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyborg just didn't think it would matter all that much if she did. She knows better now. It would be interesting to see how different a rematch would look. A wary Cyborg?

NoCalMike Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Well damn, Nunes with the biggest win perhaps in the history of WMMA up to now? Her and Cyborg basically decided to slug it out and Nunes was quicker, more accurate and daaayuuum. Got to wonder how motivated Cyborg is to keep fighting unless she gets an immediate rematch. At her age, all the wars, all the fights, does she really want to have to take 1-3 fights to try and regain the title? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the flip side, I don't think Jones is what he was, either... now that he's had to reduce and resort to micro-dosing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, Cyborg can brawl, but she isn't devoid of technique, but tonight she approached the fight as if she was going up against another 135lber that was artificially bloating up their weight for the fight. She still managed to puff up Nunes a little just via the shots she did connect on. It sucks that she showed such disrespect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sacks 'n' Stuff Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 I should be a fight promoter. Give both of these mother****ers a strike of PCP in between rounds... Fight of the century. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StillUnknown Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 I like how Jones uses takedown entries to get to the clinch, he's doing damage to the body that might pay off if it goes late. its how he destroyed Cormier in the 2nd fight Gus is busier, but Jones is clearly landing the better shots. Gus may have won the round on activity, if thats your thing, but the fight seems to be trending in Jones' direction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destino Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 I have no idea who won round 2. Could go either way, depending on if you prefer kicks or punches. Aggression or leg kicks. I'm very sad that microdoser got poked in the eye though. What a terrible thing that was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoCalMike Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Ref stands there and watches Bones land 3-4 punches to back of Gus's head. Cool. Bones please move to HW. It is getting boring watching you fight guys half your strength. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
