How hard will Ronda get heemed? Should I only bet on Amanda or on first round KO?
Elijah Sanchez
Could CM Punk beat Sage?
Aaron Taylor
Ronda is going to win
Eli Butler
Ronda is going to grapple with her. You honestly think she's going to stand and bang with Nunes?
Ronda via armbar in the 1st
Zachary Bell
The truth is we don't know. His first outing in the Octagon was straight into deep waters as he faced someone with world class jiu jitsu and impeccable stand up. No doubt Mickey Gall will capture that belt soon enough, further cementing just how tough a fight he is for anyone in the Welterweight division.
CM Punk still managed to last a minute or two on the ground despite this though, which is a real testament to guys skill and ability. Against lesser strikers or grapplers, who knows?
Kayden Butler
>world class jiu jitsu
He isn't even a black belt you moron
Andrew Hall
>nunes will keep range for a second then run head first into a clinch
and WBW will be back to normal

Unfortunately this is true

My jitz is """world class""" but I never train gi, so I'm still a white belt.
Get in my guard bro

Gone the way of the tkd belt my friend. I remember when instructors wouldn't give blue belts for at least 3 years.

Nunes' skill on the ground is comparable to Ronda's Watch Tate fight Ronda Watch Nunes fight Shevchenko Watch Nunes fight Tate Watch Rousey fight Holm

Jason Nelson
Holly had the tools to force a boxing match.
Top kek, lad. If this goes to the mat, all Nunes will be focused on is getting the fuck out of dodge.
Adam Morales
Does pickett have the slightest chance against faber?
Lincoln Gonzalez
CONOR MCGREGOR
Jacob Howard
No. Faber by guillotine in the first.
Jackson Evans
Faber sucks. Picket by UD.
Ethan Sanders
This, except send Faber out on a stretcher.
Pickett by rd1 uberheem
Eli Powell
>Holly had the tools
More like Ronda lacked the tools to have any competent striking and ability to wrestle
Nunes is a great striker as well, very good boxing as well. She's a very good grappler as well. You are only predicating this off the oft chance that Nunes does something stupid to throw herself into a clinch with Ronda in the later rounds or that Ronda can actually set something up with her striking and/or shoot for a takedown
Tyler Smith

Jackson Lee
Apparently Lawler walks around at 200-210 Cerrone confirmed he was 176 You really think the fight would be fair?
Jackson Taylor
For a Mexican he sure is towering. They ay the population is growing here but they look tiny as fuck to me.
Jackson Thompson
hendricks is like 220, so was gsp and woodley
Jayden Reyes
SQUATCHED
Anthony Reed
Lawler looked like a cancer patient last fight. I'd favor Cerrone heavily in that match up.
Adrian Foster
>Nunes is a great striker as well, very good boxing as well.
Doesn't matter, she doesn't have the tools to keep Ronda away from the clinch.
Michael Jones
Yeah, Ronda is super slick when she bullrushes people. Takes a real savant to mitigate that kind of skill.
Ryan Wood
number one bullshit
does anyone have any spicy judo webms?
if not, got any spicy khabib webms?
Logan Thompson
Will the guys that supported pic related be relegated to obscurity? Sounds like Cowboy ad Dillashaw have already flipped.
Christopher Nguyen
what is holloway? He doesn't look 100% hawaiian
his wife is qt tho
Charles Russell
will post a few before I go to bed
on a completely unrelated note, i can hear my suitemate's girlfriend whining like a child because he won't do something for him i've also overheard her screaming at him for some stupid reason and him apologizing like a cuck i hate her more than I should
Owen Reyes
Yes, we all know Ronda has become an elite striker now.
Daniel Fisher
He said he was Polynesian and said something about fighting someone at 155 or something after ufc 206. I don't think it was McGregor.
Cameron Nguyen
...
Kevin Watson
judo in MMA of course
Christian Anderson
When have you ever seen Nunes throw an oblique kick? Hell, when have you ever seen anyone struggle to clinch with her?
Levi Anderson
>McGregor landed his flash ko in 7 seconds on the clock >Rumble landed his in 10 seconds
Is McGregor GOAT?
John King
khabib bless
Asher Thomas
What's stopping her from just punching Ronda really, really hard?
Caleb Morgan
thank you user
Joshua Bell
khabib nurmagomedov is the best lightweight mma fighter on the planet earth tony ferguson is his toughest possible matchup in the UFC
Cooper Ross
Nothing. What's stopping Ronda from eating that one punch and throwing Amanda ass over teakettle into side control and getting the armbar?
Nolan Williams
here's a sambo webm, which is Khabib's primary grappling discipline
Evan Nguyen
Getting punched in the face really, really hard. Worked for Holly.
Grayson Wright
Yeah dude Ronda is an elite striker and wrestler totally bro
Edmond just played a prank bro, she totally knows to cover distance against an actual striker and she literally knows how to wrestle dude lmao
She's literally GOAT any criticism of her is just ridiculous
Grayson Gonzalez
>UFC 209 isn't in Stockton I hate WME
Jayden White
>Worked for Holly.
And also her footwork and also her oblique kick.
Have you watched a single fight of Holly's besides the Ronda fight? Have you watched a single fight of Nunes besides the Tate fight?
Jack Howard
You're hating the wrong person.
Jackson Smith
Nunes has great footwork, she operates on the outside of the pocket tremendously and moves in out of the pocket very well, very good jab and boxing overall
>oblique kick
Yep, that's literally the only reason Holly won
You're a fucking retard
Evan Rivera
I wish Ronda had a cock so I could suck it
Jack Clark
>Yep, that's literally the only reason Holly won
It was a big reason that she didn't get clinched immediately.
>Nunes has great footwork
Not on the level of Holly.
Post slip.
David Butler
There's a billion reasons why it happened, an oblique kick is not one of the primary ones. An oblique kick is not the only thing that can stop a clinch initiation. You act like if Ronda even gets the clinch, it ends the fight. This is fundamentally incorrect
>Not on the level of Holly
You don't even need that level
Not saying outrageously retarded things doesn't mean I think Nunes is free money
Kayden Thompson
yes he does
speaking of the meme of this card
best nickname on the card? Robles, Hotsauce, Platinum, Super, Serbian Steel, Kid Alex, the Peacemaker, The Great White, Moonwalker, Bam Bam (twice), Chaos, Magrinho, Pugnus, Bearjew, Brahma, Frankenstein, One Punch, Karate Hottie, California Kid and 12 Gauge
rest don't have nicknames(4)
kinda odd, so many really unique nicknames, or at least rare
Daniel Hughes
Nick Diaz vs Robbie Lawler 2 confirmed???????
Nathan Sanchez
nice sweeing hip throw, fucking 10/10
Thomas Walker
Just a reminder that Zane and Connor unironically thought Miesha would beat Amanda
In Zane's own words
>if Miesha Tate wins this fight, it's in the later rounds
>"I can trust Tate anchoring a parlay"
>the three fighters I trust most to win on the card (Miesha Tate, Cain Velasquez, Sage Northcutt)
Funny enough Connor jokingly predicted Sage would get armbared and Miesha cracked with a right hand
>Tate by submission is

>An oblique kick is not the only thing that can stop a clinch initiation.
Correct, but Nunes doesn't have anything similar.
"She'll just punch her real hard" isn't a strategy.
Camden Hughes

Jace Lee
Ah yes, running straight into punches is 6D Mesopotamian Checkers
Wyatt Green
who is this guy?
Logan Flores
who is this
Nathaniel Kelly
Holm uses her footwork to move laterally; Nunes uses her footwork to move forward. Not an exaggeration to say that she'll be in the clinch with Ronda within 5 seconds of the first round.
Josiah Cox
Akiyama
Bentley Rodriguez
...
Jordan Bennett
No. That's just plain stupidity. She consistently moves laterally on the outside
There seems to be this manufactured meme where Nunes just bullrushes at opponents
This is literally non-existent
Elijah Cox
Yoshihiro Akiyama.
Joshua Martin
...
Ethan Flores
This manhoef fight was the first time I saw akiyama. Beautiful armbar finish, he immediately became my boy.
I think this fight was in that org that a lot of pride execs went over to and it was a tournament semi or final
Gavin Brown

Luis Butler
you no what, i enjoy the clips from this thread but this doesn't belong here. It's not an actual sport, why is wrestling (an olympic sport) in /asp/ but this random bloodfest isnt? Also half you fags don't even discuss the sport and just post pics of half naked dudes all fucking thread.
Give me ONE (1) good reason why this fucking general shouldn't be in /asp/.
