max has nothing for conor. he lost to peahead a second time... conor with more meat on his bones would be max's worst nightmare.

sadly max can't bust a grape and conor wouldn't respect his power and walk him down with even bigger shots than peahead all while not getting hit even close to as much

fk i my power died right when event started. did i miss a good one. looks like cyborg barly won

Max has improved his game, conor not
Max via mauling
period

Trlopololololol

Cyborg won very clearly. Outstruck her by a large margin, landed some bombs to the face, many shots to the midsection, landed a huge leg kick and stopped all her takedown attempts except for the desperate guard pull from Spencer if you count that one. She got stuck in the clinch at times, but Spencer didn't do very much from this position.

Spencer landed a lead elbow on Cyborg's forehead, slashing her and made her face all bloody early in the fight, which made her look like she went through a war.

I think Spencer would stylistically be a very bad matchup for Nunes and wins the 145 belt somewhere in the future when she has upped her striking defense a bit, which she will because she's still young. She's a thick featherweight with a grinding style and great cardio and chin to back it up. She would probably beat Nunes the way Zingano did. Didn't see her wobbly at any point in the fight after eating clean shots. The knees to the body from Cyborg, a Muay Thai specialist, couldn't make her flinch either. She just kept coming forward. I think she would expose Nunes' cardio and her overrated ground game. The time Nunes was safe in a 5 round fight, she was trying to outpoint an undersized counter-striker and using her long limbs to her advantage.

Really? I saw a lot of signs of exposure. Nunes hits like a truck.
I don't think she could be making that same crawl forwards against Nunes

Nunes will KO/TKO her.

this

only Cyborg stand a chance vs Nunes

It's not that Cyborg was bad. It's just that Spencer is so tough and Cyborg probably didn't expect her to eat all her shots like that and come forward.

Nunes hits like a truck yes, but I think the Nunes vs Cyborg fight is a little misleading. Nunes is extremely explosive, but only in the first round. Spencer won't get lured into an all-out slugfest like Cyborg and will just come forward with her hands up and clinch her like she did in the Cyborg fight. Striking while going backwards is hard on the gas tank and exactly what Nunes has problems with. The 51 seconds with Cyborg only showed 1 thing: she can knock a reckless fighter out early in the fight.

Watch the Nunes vs Zingano, it shows you what happens when someone pressures her and can weather the early storm.

/edit: watch the 3rd round of the first Nunes vs Shevchenko fight too. Her last 2 opponents were tactically poor and made her look more invincible than she is. Before that, Miesha was on her way out (lol at Miesha's last fight), little Valentina likes to play safe and Pennington came off a devastating leg injury.
