both title fights are on

Jon Jones (204) vs. Alexander Gustafsson (204.5)
Cris Cyborg(144) vs. Amanda Nunes (145)


Wee

Think Nunes will be cyborgs toughest fight yet but ionno if she can really hang
Maybe the cardio will be her biggest advantage going into later rounds, but cyborg has never really shown signs of fatigue really

Megan Anderson
Cat Zingano
Chad Mendes
Andrei Arlovski
Ryan Hall
Montel Jackson

Why would you think HH can go 5 rounds with cyborg but Nunes cant

never said nunes can't go 5 rounds, just said she can't hang meaning more than likely if it went to decision cyborg would probably be the one controlling the pace and landing the more effective shots
that being said styles make matches, HH has good TDD / footwork so it's a little easier for her to evade and land shots and not take that KOing blow / get rocked to the point of getting TKO'd etc

nunes isn't as crisp... but i'd say she has a better chance than HH had on actually finishing cyborg just because she's a lot more unpredictable and more well rounded i don't think nunes will be as fearful going to the ground as HH may have been and will let the shots go a little more freely and wildly

Valentina probably has the best skill set to beat cyborg, but she's simply just too small

nunes has straight punches she might surprise cyborg, who's mostly fought cans until recent
