I'm in the "trans women shouldn't be competing in women's sports" group, but, I think I could make an exception just to see Amanda beat the shit out of Fallon Fox
Her entire 1 fight win streak, sure. After Valentina beats Andrade, Nunes vs Shevchenko 3 is the fight to make. Maybe Pena can get another win in the meantime and earn her shot.
Yeah either Pena vs Aspen Ladd or GDR to get a title shot before or after the Schevchenko trilogy if Valentina wins her next fight. Amanda should just rest in the meantime.
@morena.a.j yeah tbh i just watched the Maia fight last night and when you compare that to Amanda’s fight with Megan shit is night and day. I feel like Amanda might just fuck Valentina’s shit up if they go a third time.
Basically you guys are trying to punish her for being pregnant. She was in a number 1 contender fight against Valentina and although she lost she didn't back down to Valentina in that fight like others have. She has won 2 out of 3 fights since then with her 1 loss being to a former 145 champion. I feel that when you climb to the top and lose you should only be like one win from fighting for the belt. You don't go all the way to the back of the line.
@@PathIsntReal You could have made the same comparison when they fought the 2nd time. Valentina struggled to beat Juliana Pena while Amanda just got done smashing Rousey. Even in their first fight Amanda destroyed Sarah Mcmann in scary fashion while Valentina got a close decision win over Sarah Kaufman. Valentina does well against Amanda and it seems like a mental thing because Valentina just isn't afraid of Amanda.
@@zeaferjones1404 no I’m comparing the improvements from their last fights. Valentina managed to get controlled for a little by Maia. If Maia can do that, than Amanda can. Amanda seems to have evidently improved further than Valentina, therefore why i think it wouldn’t go to a decision.
The longest win streak in the top 10 is 2 fights. Holly and Yana. Since Valentina has a fight and Holly is hurt, if Nunes wants to fight before November/December(I’m not sure she will) then it should be Kunitskaya not Pena. Neither of those girls is ready though.
Not only that, I think Valentina could beat her. She probably would have won the first if it were five rounds since Nunes had cardio problems back then and I thought she won the second. But she's too small, it's unfair for her to fight Nunes
@@benlewis5312 her size is the only reason she lost the second fight, which was very close. Nunes’ size and athleticism are overwhelming. Valentina seems to eventually want a trilogy with Nunes though.
@@WitchyWagonReal I agree that Nines continues to get better with every fight but I think GDR is her best competition but at this point, she may not be able to stop Nunes either.
who remembers a period of time when it was pronounced amanda noons by all? as uncle chael deemed it so. i also appreciate how he never fails to make a case for whichever sacrificial lamb/vixen is thrown in there with the lioness.
Nunes is a savage, but she's still a woman. And as much as some people will want to cover their ears and scream at me for being "sexist," it's still the truth. I'm fairly certain she would even lose against an average male contender (let alone a Champion.) That being said, if there ever was a woman capable of pulling it off, she'd be the one.
@@jaybeam1466 yeah im not crazy it was a joke....but its gonna take a dude to beat her. She is expanding her game and they cant find any foe, Dana needs to bite the bullet and re-sign Cyborg. I know she got washed but she just tried to walk down Amanda thinking she had superior power, which she may very well have but she couldnt land. I think Cyborg has enough fight IQ to make the rematch, alot better than thr first. All that being said Amanda wins by UD in a technical strike fest the 2nd time.
If they make Pena vs Nunes, it’ll be on another huge super card like 259. You’d have a hard time convincing even super hardcores to watch that fight for a solo main event
You guys have to understand styles make fights. Juliana Pena is a tougher match up then anyone gives her credit for. Come back to this after they fight 😊
Nah Chael. Julianna Peña got choked out by GDR and armbar’d by Valentina. Amanda got both of them, and Valentina is the only one that we can be sure won’t get dominated. That expectation cannot be reached by anyone else at Women’s 135.
How about julianna doesn’t jump line when there are opponents in front of Juliana that Amanda hasn’t fought yet.. aspen ladd and irene... but Juliana should fight Irene, Ladd holly or GDR first...
Amanda needs to move over to the men's division to find some competition. The only question she has left to answer is whether or not a woman, in this case the best female fighter, can take on a man in that octagon and that man better be top 10 if they want to even have a shot.
I don't have a better idea because I've been calling for this fight for a while. Juliana's weird style and toughness might give Amanda some problems. Also Juliana is the only one that really wants to fight Amanda besides Valentina.
@@whosehousefootball5772 Maybe but it sort of reminds me of Chael vs Anderson. Anderson seemed unbeatable at the time and Chael was a great confident wrestler that seemed in over his head. Juliana and Chael even fight in a similar fashion where they don't give you any room to operate and that might be the best way to fight Nunes. Confidence goes a long way. As much as Juliana is the underdog against Amanda I'd argue her first TUF fight against Shayna Bazler was a bigger upset at that moment.
@@zeaferjones1404 I think Amanda is a better wrestler than Julianna is though. Nunes has too many weapons. There's nothing special that separates Julianna from Aspen Ladd or Yana.
I think it's a good fight and even if Pena doesn't win, If she can have a good showing it could be beneficial to her career after on down the line. One thing that hasn't changed is Amanda doesn't throw straight punches that might help Pena if she can take advantage of it. Great video, thank you!
I absolutely have a better idea. Not Julianna who has had 4 fights in the last 5 years and lost two of those. Valentina whooped her ass in the last fight 4-1.
Just watched a couple fights from Julianna Pena on fightpass. Ya she isn't going to beat Amanda. She is super sloppy, disregards defense, her flurry punches style lacks power. I don't see her lasting past round 1 with Amanda. Just not physically strong enough. For context, I just finished watching her fight with Jessica Eye before posting this.
Regarding the Jessica Eye fight, Pena was coming off an injury which is why she looked smaller in that fight and she has improved so much since then. Last fight, she was rocking GDR with punches and we saw what GDR did to Amanda when the fight was standing. Pena was able to eat Gdrs punches and keep the pressure whereas Amanda turned into panic wrestler
Megan and Felicia are the only women that are strickly featherweights. Nunes along with the other possible featherweights are also fighting at bantamweight because it is more established with bigger fights.
I don’t understand how Chael can call the ultimate fighter the toughest tournament in sports. What about bellator Grand Prix? What about the old pride days where you fight more than once in night against guys 60 lbs heavier?
Chael: I have never seen the rankings don't know where to find the rankings and I have trouble saying the word ranking. Tha rankings: Shown before literally every fight between ranked competitors that has ever happened.
I’m on the verge of thinking they should just do 2v1 on Nunes at this point. Let’s be honest there’s no real contenders for Nunes right now
Except life at this point 🤷 I hear ya, I say let's just have her walk away and enjoy it before it beats her.
@@ocmulgeeog after that beat down of anderson I generally think she should just join the men’s rankings
It doesn't matter if it's 1 on 1, 2 on 1 or 5 on 1 because at the end of the day they will all be calling 9 1 1.
The Bullet.
Or they should just get Valentina.
I say the only real contender left is Henry

Aljo would kill her so you guys are on crack if you think Amanda beats him

yes

Was... she is too small, or Amanda is too big now... and Nunes is a much better fighter than she was when she beat Shevchenko. Twice.

Props for her calling out Nunes but let's get real - Nunes wrecked Cyborg, Holm and Anderson. Plus she has better grappling than Peña.
yes
“ willing opponent “
Me: you mean another 1 rounder ?
I see a Chael thumbnail with the headline Amanda Nunes has a new opponent, and I 100% expect to see Chael saying "Cejudo has finally stepped up....

She'll get smashed unfortunately
Some of you people learn about basic biological differences between men and women before somebody gets killed inside the octagon.
Tim elliot would kill her in 8 secs max chill tf out
The ufc needs to get Kayla Harrison
@morena.a.j she just fought at 145 last november
Her and Amanda are bffs I don't think they will fight unfortunately 😔
Everything is easy money for nunes, I would start fighting monthly like cerroni used to if I were her.
problem is there is nobody left to fight
Yana has the biggest win streak of healthy opponents in the top 10. A whopping 2 fights.
They should allow every Nunes opponent to take all the steroids they want. Maybe then they will get out of the 1st round 😂
If they make Pena vs Nunes, it’ll be on another huge super card like 259. You’d have a hard time convincing even super hardcores to watch that fight for a solo main event
You guys have to understand styles make fights. Juliana Pena is a tougher match up then anyone gives her credit for. Come back to this after they fight 😊
😐😑😁😄😆🤣
Hahaha she won’t get out of the first round.
It seems your forgot Pena got submitted by strikers
Perhaps the solution would be some of the 125lbs women fighters challenge Amanda in her reigning 135lbs. Such as Joanna Jedrzejczyk or Zhang Weili.
to me the 145 division was Cyborg and Germaine de Randamie then Nunes came in to take the belt.
GDR still has the best chance to beat Nunes but with every title defense Nunes just get's smarter and more confident.
GDR has some nasty hands. She's better than Amanda on the feet but she can't stop the damn take downs!!!
Don’t sleep on Peña she’s amazing
Not on Nunes level though
Amanda vs Henry! He could maybe be the triple champ champ champ!
Nah Chael. Julianna Peña got choked out by GDR and armbar’d by Valentina. Amanda got both of them, and Valentina is the only one that we can be sure won’t get dominated. That expectation cannot be reached by anyone else at Women’s 135.
Amanda did not dominate GDR there absolutely no damage done to GDR in their fight and GDR's ground game has gotten better.
Uncle Chael is never wrong.
Chael, Amanda fought miesha, Ronda, valentina twice, and cyborg you cant say they were throwing randoms at her like cyborg lol
How about julianna doesn’t jump line when there are opponents in front of Juliana that Amanda hasn’t fought yet.. aspen ladd and irene... but Juliana should fight Irene, Ladd holly or GDR first...
The only challenge I see is if Amanda boxes Clarissa Shields
"Oh by the way " "and I bring that to you because." Uncle Chael's favorite lines
Pena is just sounding rediculous honestly.
Turns out it's Francis Ngannou who's the only one that's got the balls to face her
It's going to be the fighter that no one expects who will win against amanda.
Amanda needs to move over to the men's division to find some competition. The only question she has left to answer is whether or not a woman, in this case the best female fighter, can take on a man in that octagon and that man better be top 10 if they want to even have a shot.
She’d be destroyed even by the worst guys.
You seem to not understand the biological differences between men and women Amanda is supremely skilled but any top ten male fighter could kill her
The bit where Chael was talking to the 3-2 nameless volunteer was classic.
Amanda is so good just being willing to fight her gets you a title fight 😂😂
Nobody:

Ps: I pick Amanda ko 1st
