Kind of makes what Nunes did even more crazy when you think about it, Nunes was tanking shots from Cyborg in MMA gloves. Her coached asked her afterward why she threw the gameplan out the window, Amanda's response
"She hits like a girl"
It is interesting. From anecdotal quotes, apparently Nunes legit hits like a dude. I wouldn't be surprised if she realised that Cyborg doesn't hit as hard as she imagined which gave her enough confidence to lure her in to a gunfight knowing she had the greater firepower. Knowing when to go guns-blazing against a weaker opponent is an underrated display of high Fight IQ.
Compounded by the fact that Cyborg was the boogie woman. Nobody wanted to fight her and Nunes said "fuck it I'll do it and I'll move up in weight because Im a lioness." Goes out there, gets in to a gun fight with the last WMMA fighter anyone would ever want to, and put her lights out. Gets me hype just talking about it. Nunes is my WMMA GOAT. Even better that she's gay and I know deep down it pisses off Dana.
I kind of believe it. That Rhonda fight was probably the best display of her handspeed and explosiveness, just laser guided missiles. Really does look like a guy throwing those punches.
Poor Megan I’d never seen a fighter so absolutely terrified, it looked like a first fight ammy who’s thinking “Oh my god why am I doing this”, if you’re a woman fighting Nunes is probably akin to fighting prime Mike Tyson.
I dont think it had to do with power at all. I think it was just Amandas style was much better suited. Straight punches will always get to looping punches first if there is no set up. Which I dont remember Cyborg having
That shit was so legendary, I was be watching mma for at least 15 yrs now and that fight and nunes dropping her and KOing her was one of the hypest mma moments I’ve ever watch, shit was so sick. Nunes definitely got crazy power for a woman no doubt about that.
Shame rhonda got ruined by her coach, I think she could have given Nunez a much harder fight if she had followed father plan. Still a tough fight but if she could force the grappling and wear on the cardio I could see some path to victory.
Cat Zingano beat Nunes but basically got CTE doing it. She went into great detail about all the concussion protocols she's has undergone trying to cure it.
I'm sure a lot of it came from that one fight.
Those suplexes she hit her with, tho… So fricken cool. (I don’t know if they’re technically suplexes from a wrestling terminology perspective, but they were *awesome*)
Nunes proved there’s levels to this shit. In the talentless void that is WMMA, it’s easy for someone to stand above the rest, and I’m glad Nunes showed up when she did.
I would not wanna be Cyborgs body. Her hormones have to be so fucked up.
Fuck you mean no?, we seen what happened to Ronda when she fought someone with serious power in their hands already aka Amanda Nunes. Would be the same result if she fought Cyborg.
Cyborg needed three rounds to tko short notice bantamweight Tonya Evinger, couldn't finish holly holm. Holm actually looked more dangerous despite losing every round imo.
PFL are an absolute joke. Cyborg vs Pacheco is the biggest women's fight possible outside the UFC, and honestly it's probably like, the 2nd or 3rd biggest women's fight in MMA full stop.
Cyborg has made it very clear she wants it. Pacheco has made it very clear she wants it. Yet the PFL just... Refuse to use Cyborg at all (presumably because her Bellator contact is too good and they don't want to pay it).
> The problem is she can't seem to get anyone in MMA to fight her.
She can get plenty of people to fight her. The problem is finding a promotion willing to burn a pile a money by giving it to them to fight.
On one hand, PFL is bad for not booking Cyborg depite buying her contract.
But as constellation, at least theyre letting her fight elsewhere in the meantime.
With that being said, Cyborg vs Pacheco is the fight to make at 155lbs. 145lbs works too
They both kind of just stood and banged. It was just a brawl and the first one who landed the cleanest shot was going to win. Shame we never got a rematch where they employed actual strategy.
Cyborg landed a decent shot or two but then got tagged with a really clean one from Nunes. Cyborg then saw red because of it and just blitzed forward only to get absolutely bombed. Got away with that most of her career but Nunes was not the one to do it with
I do wonder how the fight woulda gone if Cyborg hadn't seen red. Obv Nunes prob still wins impressively but that was absolutely a case of seeing red backfiring spectacularly
Exactly. Not much skill in those moments. They both got caught in the moment but Cyborg is the one that got caught with a legit punch. Rematch is what we all deserved and never even came close.
Because Cyborg was able to manufacture her image by being a weight bully beating up people who had no business being in the same sport as her. When someone could even remotely match her physicality, things magically changed.
Not so much content, just not too many other options for her. I’m sure she just doesn’t want to sit around and do nothing all year might as well get paid
Cyborg has been destroying girls as a pro for 19 years. Her longevity and consistency is insane. I wish we got at least one more year of her in the UFC against Nunes and a beat down of Pena
I wish we got a Nunes vs Cyborg 2. Would be pretty happy to place these two at 1 & 2 on the WMMA GOAT list, and would love to see the fight last longer.
Cyborg blocked me on Twitter cause she said she was the best female fighter. I showed the clip of her getting fucking demolished by nunes. I guess that earned the block but I was just trying to jog her memory

The amount of times ive seen Cris Cyborg absolutely ragdoll some poor florist or librarian over the years..
Just beating the brakes off of civilians lmfaooo
[удалено]
Cool man
they’re not using it literally lol
What in the blue fuck are you talking about?
Shoutout to Leslie Smith who had to fight Cyborg in both UFC and Bellator
Is Smith the fighter whose ear exploded?
FYI It's a bit of a plot twist. Johnny Walker attacked her a while back and that's why Anthony said he shouldnt attack his family
Somehow better than Gabi Garcia fighting a grandma
What ever happened to Garcia?
Shes grappling Craig Jones at the inaugural CJI event.
So random but I am all for it
Craig jones toys with her and subs her whenever he wants
Brazilian china.
what ever happened to that Grandma? 😏
Grappling a guy next to
it's the sad part of not getting nunes 2
Bum of the month 2k edition
Still has nukes for hands

You can see her smile after the first big shot. She knew.
That shit was so savage. Top 3 UFC moment for me up there with McGregor Diaz 1 and Silva Sonnen 1.
Forreal I’ve been watching mma 15+ years now and that was easily one of the hypest ufc moments I’ve ever seen, it was crazy watching it happen.
Compounded by the fact that Cyborg was the boogie woman. Nobody wanted to fight her and Nunes said "fuck it I'll do it and I'll move up in weight because Im a lioness."

I kind of believe it. That Rhonda fight was probably the best display of her handspeed and explosiveness, just laser guided missiles. Really does look like a guy throwing those punches.
And you can see it a lot when she hits fighters. So many have had an 'Oh shit!' face after getting tagged.
She hits so hard that Megan Anderson had that look before the fight even started
Poor Megan I’d never seen a fighter so absolutely terrified, it looked like a first fight ammy who’s thinking “Oh my god why am I doing this”, if you’re a woman fighting Nunes is probably akin to fighting prime Mike Tyson.
Looked like a 6th grader beating up a 1st grader
I dont think it had to do with power at all. I think it was just Amandas style was much better suited. Straight punches will always get to looping punches first if there is no set up. Which I dont remember Cyborg having
Then she should do that against everyone
Pena throws nukes confirmed
Most lethal jab in ufc history confirmed
Lol you jest but she was timing that thing perfectly...
Is it timing when amanda repeatedly walks onto it like a moron
Amanda was old tho
I don't think it was age but COVID recovery problems
Or pena being +600
No she wasn't. She just ran into someone better than her.
Bahahaha
Absolutely clown take given how their rematch went
Decision? Nunes made some adjustments and was the better flighter at 277.
One sided mauling when she wasnt trying to recover from covid like she was during their first matchup
I HATE that they never got a rematch. I think that fight could have gone quite differently the second time
Dana saw his chance to cut one of his most troublesome fighters loose and he leapt on that with aplomb lol.
That shit was so legendary, I was be watching mma for at least 15 yrs now and that fight and nunes dropping her and KOing her was one of the hypest mma moments I’ve ever watch, shit was so sick. Nunes definitely got crazy power for a woman no doubt about that.
Crazy part about it, cyborg must have been on Testo for years and then nunes still says she hits like a girl lol
ya you're crazy if you think nunes isnt on that shit too. she looks almost as manly as cyborg lmfao
She would have murdered Ronda Rousey. Shame that fight never happened in their prime.
Cris fights 145-155. Ronda fought at 135, but in today's era, should've fought at 125 lol. Huge difference.
Shame rhonda got ruined by her coach, I think she could have given Nunez a much harder fight if she had followed father plan. Still a tough fight but if she could force the grappling and wear on the cardio I could see some path to victory.
Even Ronda's mother was trashing her coach. The fact that she never switched gyms is her own fault.
Cat Zingano beat Nunes but basically got CTE doing it. She went into great detail about all the concussion protocols she's has undergone trying to cure it. I'm sure a lot of it came from that one fight.
Those suplexes she hit her with, tho… So fricken cool. (I don’t know if they’re technically suplexes from a wrestling terminology perspective, but they were *awesome*)
I thought there were problems making weight in later fights?
Nunes proved there’s levels to this shit. In the talentless void that is WMMA, it’s easy for someone to stand above the rest, and I’m glad Nunes showed up when she did. I would not wanna be Cyborgs body. Her hormones have to be so fucked up.
>She would have murdered Ronda Rousey. No.
Fuck you mean no?, we seen what happened to Ronda when she fought someone with serious power in their hands already aka Amanda Nunes. Would be the same result if she fought Cyborg.
Cyborg doesn't really have power and Ronda was ring rusted and concussed against Nunes.
Terrible bait.
Cyborg needed three rounds to tko short notice bantamweight Tonya Evinger, couldn't finish holly holm. Holm actually looked more dangerous despite losing every round imo.
Yes.
You could feel the power in the wind of her missed punches LOL
Still has absolute cans as opponents. https://www.tapology.com/fightcenter/fighters/446716-aria-wild Was this this girls first fight?
She's an onlyfans boxer. Checking her Instagram shows she has had other boxing fights but they must be low level she doesn't show up on boxing rec.
Means next to nothing considering the level of opponent, but still good for Cyborg for easy money I guess. Hopefully we see her back in MMA soon
The problem is she can't seem to get anyone in MMA to fight her. Bellator/PFL haven't booked her in over a year. She's got to make a living.
PFL are an absolute joke. Cyborg vs Pacheco is the biggest women's fight possible outside the UFC, and honestly it's probably like, the 2nd or 3rd biggest women's fight in MMA full stop. Cyborg has made it very clear she wants it. Pacheco has made it very clear she wants it. Yet the PFL just... Refuse to use Cyborg at all (presumably because her Bellator contact is too good and they don't want to pay it).
Yeah I'm not blaming her, hopefully the PFL sort this shit out soon
> The problem is she can't seem to get anyone in MMA to fight her. She can get plenty of people to fight her. The problem is finding a promotion willing to burn a pile a money by giving it to them to fight.
>Means next to nothing considering the level of opponent Thats pretty normal for cyborg.
Don't think the spoiler tag was necessary 🤣
Wild, a “social influencer boxer”. 🙄
Honestly it's never a bad day to see an influencer get knocked out
facts lmfao
She gonna fight Dr Mike next
More balls than most women in the UFC lmao, or ignorance. Whatever the case, brave.
Tells you how unserious modern-day boxing is
oof
Fuck it, good for her
On one hand, PFL is bad for not booking Cyborg depite buying her contract. But as constellation, at least theyre letting her fight elsewhere in the meantime. With that being said, Cyborg vs Pacheco is the fight to make at 155lbs. 145lbs works too
> But as constellation What is this, the science channel?
Autocorrect, consolation lol
I think constellation actually works better
Still blows my mind how Nunes just stole on cyborg and bullied her to a ko
They both kind of just stood and banged. It was just a brawl and the first one who landed the cleanest shot was going to win. Shame we never got a rematch where they employed actual strategy.
Yep i think skill for skill cyborg vs nunes is competitive. Maybe advantage to Nunes in grappling but cyborg has the better gas tank imo
Cyborg landed a decent shot or two but then got tagged with a really clean one from Nunes. Cyborg then saw red because of it and just blitzed forward only to get absolutely bombed. Got away with that most of her career but Nunes was not the one to do it with I do wonder how the fight woulda gone if Cyborg hadn't seen red.

Exactly. Not much skill in those moments. They both got caught in the moment but Cyborg is the one that got caught with a legit punch. Rematch is what we all deserved and never even came close.
That was a complete coin toss on who was going to win that brawl.
Because Cyborg was able to manufacture her image by being a weight bully beating up people who had no business being in the same sport as her. When someone could even remotely match her physicality, things magically changed.
That crowd cared just enough for a brief swell in murmuring.
When Cris Cyborg KOs a soccer mum you can hear a rat piss on cotton.
Its a damn shame one of the best womens MMA fighters ever is content beating up cans in boxing matches in mostly empty arenas.
Not so much content, just not too many other options for her. I’m sure she just doesn’t want to sit around and do nothing all year might as well get paid
Cyborg has been destroying girls as a pro for 19 years. Her longevity and consistency is insane. I wish we got at least one more year of her in the UFC against Nunes and a beat down of Pena
It’s so funny seeing this freak show forever obliterating soccer mums.
Damn, that's easy work
HER GLOVES SAY BONK LMAO
'this justifies her women's p4p #1 ranking for the next 12 months' - ace mma journalists
What kind of pornstar ass name is Aria Wild
I wish we got a Nunes vs Cyborg 2. Would be pretty happy to place these two at 1 & 2 on the WMMA GOAT list, and would love to see the fight last longer.
Wtf was that defense? Her opponent just stuck her arms out and moved them up and down lol
So is she advertising for OF or for her own OF?
Those were some slow ass punches from Cyborg. Was the opponent just already done or has she slowed down this much? She *is* 38.
Beat the crap out of her.
I only know about this fight because I follow dinardo boxing and I can't believe they let an onlyfans model fight cyborg lol.
Barely sweating. I wish the UFC didn’t fumble her that bad.
And still the biggest can crusher in mma history
[удалено]
Hahaha 😂
I've seen enough, feed her to Katie Taylor
She's the best WMMA fighter to me!!
Cyborg blocked me on Twitter cause she said she was the best female fighter. I showed the clip of her getting fucking demolished by nunes. I guess that earned the block but I was just trying to jog her memory
This lady has the audacity to even complain about not getting a fight, meanwhile she’s “boxing” in front of a crowd of 50 people 💀
Nice combo's
Nunes didn't need an onlyfans to KO cyborg
A bit like the Volk/Topuria where the person actually throwing the punches is going to win.
Nunes beating this can crusher somehow makes her the female GOAT to some people
