Why else would he "relinquish" his belt right before this match? Because he knew he would HAVE to go through Jones again.
I feel what you saying BUT who was Winning before the head kick doe playa
That will make it even worse for her. The point is, Nunes was going to come forward with those bricks no matter what. Cyborg coming in hard and sloppy just made it easier for her Amanda. It's no fun when the rabbit got the gun. Cyborg is the big strong bully. But she's never been in there 1, with someone that can match her as far as k.o. ability..and 2..someone that's not afraid or ready to go home as soon as they get hit other than Evinger, but she has little skill
They already brought him in on Boxing
Yes but no...Nunes had the 135 lb belt coming into the fight tonight.
Fueled by coke and white womens
The LT of this fight shit
Nigga stay on the milk yacht
hopefully, since HBO closed shop, they will get Max in there and cut the foolery. But unfortunately Stephen A must bring ratings, because they use him on every show except hockey
SAS aint bad for layman but Kellerman should be available now that HBO is done with boxing
i enjoyed the arguements between teddy & SAS after the 1st GGG vs Canelo fight
He's a great fighter but he should keep his mouth shut when it comes to Jones. Just my opinion. A lot of the time he talks like he won either of the fights...
I almost threw up
its funny at first but gets boring after a while next he has limited knowledge on the sport...keep my man Atlas and bring on Kellerman
I got another 2450 to bet..on this..fuck it..brah

Its all good playa. After 2 rds it was even by me and other observers but
DC definitely had a good momentum in the 3rd rd with his standup
before the headkick tho.
This is why the 3rd fight between DC vs Jones would be intriguing
because DC fought well against Jones. Even with some more adjustments
he may or may not beat Bones.
My money is still on Jones, because what is interesting DC is a world class wrestler/grappler
but he never was able to control Jones with his grappling grind.
It doesn't matter. The fact he can throw elbows easy and mix in kicks shows you he knows his striking distance along with his opponent. I'm a muay thai practitioner for 7 years now and if you master your distance you will be a problem.
People are obsessed about have knockout power (heavyhands). If you can pick apart someone with high, middle and low attacks without "power" it will be a problem, trust me. I rather have fast hands than "knockout" power. This is something I've been working on for the last year and a half.
I was responding to something else. Most likely something to do with the fact that Gus got hurt by the kicks and that allowed him to get taken down, which never happened in the first fight and he could do work because Jones has to get closer for the elbows and clinch work. The punches are nothing for Gus to worry about..it's not about downing Jones for having light hands.
who's winning the fight i don't have ppv
Yeah, looks like cyborg's whole idea of defense was I'm tougher than you and you can't possibly hurt me....cause so far in the octagon that had been true. By the time she figured out how hard Amanda could hit, it was too late.
As lopsided as this was, I really hope to see a rematch because a cautious cyborg vs Nunes would be real interesting.

True, even more than that she fell right for Nunes' trap. Amanda hit her and figured she'd go wild trying to hit her back which she did. Once that happened she lost all her composure and technique and wasnt thinking about what was coming back at her. Excellent strategy. But yea if she knows how to adjust she would be dangerous in a rematch.
Sidenote: Watching Cyborg talk at the post fight and she is actually a pretty cool man-chick. Took the loss well and just wants to get back to training and try again. I like her attitude.
Really slick submission by Ryan Hall over BJ Penn. BJ had been looking good during the prior part of that round too. Wish BJ had retired long ago though as his legacy takes a big hit with all the losses.
Major respect to Nunes. Moving up a weight division and trading firepower with Cyborg. Wow. The party erupted when she pulled that off. Beating Cyborg and Rousey convincingly in under 1 minute each, Tate in 3 minutes, the 2 wins over Schevshenko, etc. She's legit!
Good win by Jones over Gus'. Gus' is definitely the gatekeeper in that division, as the TOP GUYS definitely have his number (Jones x 2, DC, Johnson prior to his retirement).
Enjoyed that Volkanovski-Mendes fight leading off the main card.
Really unfortunate for Zingano with that injury in the prelim with Andersen. Did that toe catch her eye & eyelid? She had that cut on her right eyelid ... damn ... fight was just getting started too.
Good submission win from Chiesa over Condit. Hope Condit retires soon too ... he's racking up the losses at this point. Lawler, Maia, Magny, Chiesa, etc.

Lol he dont like that nigga that's why. Plus he mainly mad that he keep calling himself the LW champ. He know if he went up to HW and took that title too its kinda like picking on that dude at that point.
Nunes can strike with a lot men. She has great hands.
In the rematch, the same thing will happen. Amanda is too strong and has great precision.
Not gonna lie, I got a little emotional. Kinda like when Thug Rose beat Joanna.
Congrats to Amanda and to Cyborg for her sportsmanship.
So impressive. One of those jaw-dropping moments in the sport ... the reason why we tune in. Loved seeing how they were fighting in a phone booth (when Nunes had her back on the fence) & Nunes put that power/precision on her. That's no joke. Cyborg has been dominant over so many people for so long. Nunes' resume is strong. Happy for her ... just think what it will do for her confidence moving forward. Good luck to her future opponents - they will need it!
What's that say about Rousey now that we saw Cyborg get beat down by the same girl just a few secs after?
Yeah - what a crazy feat for Nunes. Getting them BOTH out of there in under a minute apiece. No wonder Rousey was ducking Cyborg. She knew she would get wrecked. Little did we know some years later Nunes would move up 10lbs and style on Cyborg herself, of all people. Crazy sport. MMA math is tough to predict.
Side note ... just saw Hall's big KO win on the early Fight Pass prelims on the Fox after show. Happy for Hall. He's had his ups/downs over time. Good fighter though.
Who does Jones fight next? The UFC on Fox panel suggested (think it was Bisping) ...
- Jones vs. Cormier at heavyweight
- Jones vs. Anthony Smith at light heavyweight next July at UFC's International Fight Week wherein they usually do 2 - 3 cards over a 2-3 day stretch
Personally I'm not too excited for DC-Lesnar, or DC-Jones 3?
DC would clearly beat Lesnar, and Jones would undoubtedly beat DC.

Lol Nah fam. Ronda didn't duck anyone. If she "ducked" Cyborg,she would've done the same with Amanda. She didn't know she could get wrecked like that until she got wrecked.
She didn't fight Cyborg because Cybor wanted her to go up in weight as if SHE was the champ. She was still cleaning out her division and establishing women in any diVision
After seeing Cyborg get wrecked, at the time Ronda ran through Bethe in the same fashion, I sure Ronda THOUGHT she could along bombs with anybody. And since Cyborg never had one punch stopping power and just ran into the only chick out there who ever did, I'm not sure Ronda and Cyborg wouldve been anything like that. Cyborgs power wouldve ran her into a clinch and possibly being taken for a ride.
Amanda deserves all the credit here. She showed Cyborg what true power was.
Jones already says he doesn't care to fight Cornier at heavyweight. DC is gonna have to come down, and he will. Personally, I'm glad Jones isn't going there to take everything DC has. It's possible DC can win at heavyweight, but it's also possible he could lose, and I as a fan, I just can't take it. I may have to run up and shoot Jon Jones if that happened lol.
Anythony Smith can get it. But let's face it. Until the shit about him doping is nailed down for real, Jones is the fucking GOAT. He just is.
