Who's left at WBW after Nunes Shev? Holly getting another 135 shot is pretty ridiculous and the only realistic woman out there is Pennington which is pretty laughable.

 

[Rumblebones]

Amanda's leg flaring up.

 

[broz0rs]

Idiots booing this fight. This is a great fight.

 

[VoxPop]

Shev looks great. Surprised that Nunes' gas tank is holding up. Fun tactical fight so far. I hope the UFC brings Cormier onto the broadcast team if he ever retires along with Cruz.

 

[Rumblebones]

2-1 Nunes.

 

[Mister Wilhelm]

I think the judges are gonna give it to Nunes if they keep going like this.

They traditionally value aggression a lot in their scoring.

 

[alienxx45]

The level of striking in this fight is on another level compared to the rest of the division. Good fight.

 

[Syder]

Shevchenko giving a very good account of herself so far

Surprised Nunes' gas tank is holding up

 

[Rumblebones]

I think Nunes is winning, but I think she's been playing too much into Valentina's game. She needs to fight long and pop the jab.

 

[Rhaknar]

Stop booing idiots

 

[Rumblebones]

I really fucking hate this crowd.

2-2

 

[Syder]

Stop booing idiots

Absolute morons.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Not a great fight so far. Feels like both fighters are holding back just a bit (understandably so), and it's leading to very limited exchanges. Nunes is probably leading due to aggression.

 

[Fox318]

3 to 1 for bullet

 

[VoxPop]

I got it at 2-2 going into the 5th but wouldn't argue 3-1 Nunes.

The level of striking in this fight is on another level compared to the rest of the division. Good fight.

agreed. we've come a long way from the likes of Shayna Bazler

 

[Instro]

Idiots booing this fight. This is a great fight.

Booing is too much, but hard to call this great. Low activity on and off, not a ton landing clean, no one convincingly winning rounds. Not a lot of excitement happening here. It's only picked up in the last 2 rounds really.

 

[Obliterator]

I've got it 2-2 headed into the last round. Very close

 

[Syder]

Neither can afford to let this go to decision

 

[Afrikan]

I know Amanda is the Champ... but if she wants to win over fans... she needs to go and take it, if Valentina is just waiting to counter.

Shit the Judges might take her belt away for the fuck of it... so she needs to go get it.

I like old Amanda better... go fucking get it. You can take a hit.

 

[Afrikan]

Wjy grapple?.... Val is great on the ground and is good eith her balance...and those thick thighs and booty help out.

 

[VoxPop]

Oh boy that takedown might have clinched the decision

 

[Obliterator]

God damnit Bullet just gave the fight away. She had that 5th round won.

God Damnit

 

[Mister Wilhelm]

God damnit Bullet just gave the fight away. She had that 5th round won.

God Damnit

She shouldn't have started so slow. She's clearly still got a lot left in the tank.

 

[parrotbeak]

I don't know who should win but assume Nunes will get it.

Wouldn't mind seeing a few more rounds.

 

[Fox318]

I still think Bullet won the fight

 

[Rhaknar]

That takedown won the fight for Nunes I imagine

 

[El-Suave]

Not enough to dethrone a champ I'd say, but I'm no MMA judge.

 

[AwesomeSauce]

I had Valentina winning the 5th, but you know how judges are with takedowns.

 

[Rumblebones]

48-47 Nunes.

I hoped Nunes would get a devastating KO, but fuck it, I enjoyed this fight.

 

[Obliterator]

What the hell is with women's MMA being OBSESSED with that headlock throw. You see women fuck that exact same technique up all of the time.

 

[-MD-]

In my heart I had it 3-2 Valentina but it's just as likely 3-2 Nunes.

 

[Fox318]

Watch it's a draw

 

[Rumblebones]

Nunes better have this, damn it.

 

[Afrikan]

Bullshit if she just wanted to prove her cardio.... what fuck is up with people around her.

She better make up for it the next fight. She can't complain about any booes or not getting any money if she fights like this again.

:/

Hate when fighters change for the wrong reasons.

She might have too many "yes"men and women around her.

 

[-MD-]

Lame.

 

[Fox318]

Fuck man.

Bullet was the better fighter

 

[parrotbeak]

The fans are just upset because they won't get to see technical master MM.

 

[Obliterator]

Nunes won by split.

That takedown fuck up literally cost Shevchenko the Title. That's going to eat her alive for a long long time

 

[Ninja Scooter]

tbh it's sort of bullshit that Big John didn't take a point away from Amanda for extending her fingers. If the rule is the rule, then you shouldn't get 3 rounds worth of warnings.

 

[bbd23]

trashhh

 

[Afrikan]

Bruce fucking with us.... but why Bruce... why do that shit...lol.

 

[Rumblebones]

[VoxPop]

Fair decision. 48-47 seems right after that takedown to clinch the 5th. Fuck the people boo'ing it was a good scrap. Nunes vs Pennington is a hard sell though.

 

[Syder]

Yup, she threw it away for sure.

You guys are salty as hell. Not saying I disagree, but Valentina has no one to blame fort his loss but herself.

 

[Afrikan]

Fans can complain... but Val can't say shit... she was just staying back and waiting for the counter.

She is the contender, she needed to go get it herself. She comes off spoiled in her interviews, when it came to her and Nunes.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

I have no dog in the fight. What the fuck you talking about "salty"? I was pointing out that giving 4-5 "warnings" for any infraction is bullshit.

 

[Rumblebones]

Fuck off Valentina.

 

[AwesomeSauce]

Nunes won by split.

They should reevaluate how they score takedowns. Nunes got one after losing the round IMO and when she got her down, she didn't do damage, just held on and kill time.

 

[broz0rs]

Valentina threw one too many Superman punches, and the last one cost her.
