I was jumping out my seat freaking out lovin every moment. Great card overall, over exceeded my expectations

[@enednas801]

the sub on nunes was so anticlimactic cos it wasnt a typical deep choke that made it look like it was infact dabgerous.she was just so tired and mentally done she tapped just to get out safe. pena also didnt go nuts so I was like wtf happend. I didnt manage to get crazy and surprised,damn. I did go apeshit when miesha choked out Holm cos it was a deep choke and a helluva struggle with them scrambling all over the place and holm just going out punching. chills thinking bout it XD

Chito is strong mentally. Having to come to Vegas to compete in the Ultimate Fighter house, leaving his wife and beautiful daughter back home to fight for an opportunity to literally bring a smile to his daughters face. Lost in the tournament but, was given a chance to impress in Mexico City with 18k+ cheering for Beltran. The fight was awarded to Beltran but, Chito won that fight. Seeing him at the airport and telling him "animo Chito" and him replying "siempre" just showed me he's mentally strong. Nice to see him where he is now.

Strange... indeed...from world beaters to looking novice in one fight..

Often because some are so used to dominating that they don’t work on their weaknesses because they’ve never been exposed, making it easier to exploit when they are discovered.

[@edwardkelly3280]

No Valentina Shevchenko didn’t lay the blueprint for defeating Nunes.Julianna followed the blueprint of Alexis Davis which was being aggressive

[@madgavin7568]

@@edwardkelly3280 You can also argue the Cat Zingano fight as well. Unfortunately Valentina just wasn't aggressive enough in her fights with Amanda, its frustrating knowing this in hindsight.

[@upupupandaway]

What a wrong take. Shevchenko definitely had a healthy "fear" of Nunes in that second fight that she officially and arguably lost. Hence why she stood in one corner for the entire fight Tyron Woodley style taking unanswered kicks. And where do you see Peña maintaining technique exactly? She had inferior technique to begin with, let alone in those wild exchanges. If you really knew what happened in there, you wouldn't even mention Shevchenko, but rather bring up Nunes' losses to Davis and Zingano as the gentlemen above me did.

[@TetherBGone]

*@Real high atm Are you saying those jabs Pena landed at will weren't textbook? Are you saying that Pena didn't maintain proper distance that night? She has nowhere near the skill level as Valentina, but Pena did some of the same things she did.*

amanda didn’t look right…she was throwing sloppy shots and she looked really slow.

[@mr.tuatalks4936]

@@landonmorel3715 she didn't look that way in 1st round....only as the 2nd wore on and she was unable to get a KO. I give all credit to Pena. She caused Amanda to fatigue by hanging in pocket and trading. Amanda was throwing every shot 100% hunting the knockout. It is draining to be the agressor going full bore only to realize that you've thrown your best shots and your opponent is still there.

[@mr.tuatalks4936]

but i will say this. bouncing between weight classes is not easy and has hurt many fighters. Best example is Roy Junes jr

[@Lazy_Prophet]

Yeah that round is up there with 5th round between Leon and Nate as exciting goes. I agree with Joe though that it's inexcusable to get that tired in the 2nd round. Even Nick being away for 5 years and out of shape he still went 3 rounds and threw way more punches.

[@mr.tuatalks4936]

@@Lazy_Prophet Amanda didn't lack output. In fact she needed to throw less. It is exhausting (mentally/physically) when you underestimate an opponent. I've done it (as a wrestler) and I've been on Pena's side of it. You feel them wilting so you gain strength as they lose theirs. Mental stamina is as important as physical. Vera made same point....i put this ahead of nate/leon. Because it was with more on line and it slowly built to a climax. Whereas Nate/Leon turned on ! definitive strike....This was more Robbie/Rory like to me. where 1 fighter physically broke the other by enduring more. Although , to be fair, Rory's body quit on him. It wasn't him being mentally defeated

I think part of what made the Pena fight so great was finally for the first time since the Valentina rematch, an opponent didn't fight scared against Nunes. She lost the first round but wasn't worse for wear going into the second. Nunes's opponents are so timid of her right hand that they would be beat mentally before the fight even started. Even if Nunes would have ended up winning in the midst of the back and forth brawling, it still would have shown future opponents that Nunes's striking is power based not technique based.

@@pic5637 One guy called me a fraud when I said I saw rare confidence in Peña and expected her to make it a fight. There are also idiots who say she looked super scared when Nunes was standing over her in round 1. What I saw there was just laser focus. Some people see things. Some people don't. And some people think they do, but they're blind fools.

[@supersly3211]

The wrist bone was on her windpipe, even without hooks that was a legit choke. Amanda was tired but I think that was more due to adrenaline dump because Peña was a lot tougher than she thought. I don’t blame her for tapping. Hell, we all would if our windpipe was attacked like that.

You are so right, which unfortunately tells a lot about level of womens MMA.

But in contrast imagine JJ not even taking some fights that seriously and what level he is.

[@donatedflea]

she beat her on every jab bro. that makes her a good striker. now sit down.

[@angrymaniac53]

Bruh Amanda recently had covid. I don't think she underestimated her. She tired quickly which is most likely because she had covid recently. She has wrestled more in her previous fight than pena fight but she never got tired in those fight. And she wasn't active like she used to be. More like Amanda ain't as she used to be. Many people wondered if khamzat would be same after he had covid but i don't think most of the even knows Amanda having covid before this fight which is why people barely questioned or thought if she would be same or not. She just pulled out because of covid and rescheduled unlike khamzat who was out for a longer period of time than Amanda. I honestly don't think Amanda understimated her. She definetly gave her 100%. It's just that i don't think she is same as before. She also fights in 2 different division and cutting weight might also have started affecting her. Honetly she gave her 100% and pena beat her fair and square as she was better fighter. I think people were just more confident than herself and thought that she was something like a god to not question if she would be same after covid for someone who has to fight top fighter because she is champ.

Amanda's sloppy striking when she was trying to deal with Pena's pressure was perhaps the most surprising thing about the way it went down. It's one thing to be the hammer, but great fighters also have to experience being the nail. Amanda didn't like being the nail when Pena unloaded on her.

[@madgavin7568]

Historically Amanda has been a great hammer but rather poor nail. Early in her career she was very much a fighter who either dominated and finished early, or wilted and quit. Glimpses of it did pop up here and there (Shevchenko and GDR fights) but it had been largely eradicated on her historic run as champion. This fight showcased that that side of Amanda was still there, it just took someone with a good game-plan, brass balls and a chin to take the fight to her. Watching it unfold live I was in shock and disbelief as I never thought I'd see Amanda lose again. Having said that though, I can't help but think Amanda wasn't the same fighter that night due to how quickly her gas tank emptied when she was able to pace herself in previous fights and go the distance.

Julianne will win again. Julianne says that choke is a technique she learned from Damian Maia. Underneath the bone on the outside of the hand is against the wind pipe. But what we see in this fight is a pattern. A complete fighter taking a preferred striker to the ground sapping their energy and stopping them and it doesn't matter that the striker has a black belt in BJJ if they prefer to strike it shows. They become less complete, they can't grind. it's a different kind of conditioning.
