You really think I'd care to hide behind a second account to voice my opinion?

"I don't know that guy"
I don't know who's account is who's just having a little fun. Hi I'm Sono07 incase anyone is confused.
Kinda thinking Nunes inside distance/KO
might be worth a look. Anybody on GDR worried her full time job as a cop may take away from training?

Not everyone is stipe or Mighty Mouse.Don't think you can really factor it in as a concern given she's been that way for so long and it doesn't seem to have ever impacted her performances and plenty of fighters have other jobs like Stipe. For memory Mighty Mouse only quit his job at a factory after his second title fight and winning the 125 belt as well.
All Nunes takedowns in recent fights are an outside trip or poor double leg. She never chains anything together or likes to put effort into TDs like she had to in the first fight to get a TD, she's too concerned about her cardio. Can't remember the interview but she basically said it herself with the Shevchenko rematch where she attempted no TDs until R5. She also does absolutely nothing on top and was getting stood up against Pennington after doing no damage sitting in guard. For her to repeat what she did in the first isn't just assuming GDR hasn't improved at all in 6 years but expects Nunes to fight in a way she hasn't in years.her takedown defense may be a little better than it was 6 years ago but she probably still sucks on the ground.
nunes has the strength to hit the high crotch single or just body lock trip/drag her to the ground
I’m pretty big on nunes itd. Played nunes sub at +399
people talking about nunes cardio should probably look at holm vs gdr in which gdr was gassing by the third round just from some clinch work
gdr isnt nearly as good in the clinch as you would think she should be. Even Pennington made the fight closer than it should’ve been pressing gdr against the cage.
gdr likes to sit back and counter with that long one two she has. Pretty sure nunes will be able to figure out the range or just take her down and maul her on the ground
people are forgetting nunes has a pretty good ground game
I gave two well known examples, there are plenty of other fighters with jobs, Geoff Neal, Marion Reneau, Daniel Cormier and all the fighters that work as analysts, have businesses, podcasts etc.Not everyone is stipe or Mighty Mouse.
you’re talking about two proven, well rounded champions
gdr won the belt from a controversial match with holly holm and then vacated it because she didn’t want that cyborg smoke.
gdr has a massive hole in her game that maybe if she trained full time could address better
Oh I’m sorry, you’re never wrong about anythingAll Nunes takedowns in recent fights are an outside trip or poor double leg.

Also GDR's is very solid in the clinch she just makes it look bad by letting herself get pressed against the fence, she's always the one dealing more damage though. Not like Nunes has ever really shown a competent clinch game herself and has generally avoided it. Not sure how you can say she gassed vs Holm either, she was breathing slightly more like most fighters would be but even after 25 minutes she was light on her feet and sharp. I wouldn't have called her remotely gassed compared to how badly we've seen Nunes slow and fold in the past.
You're making assumptions and speculations to justify a bet on a wide favourite. Assuming you mean her ground game then we haven't seen her on her back in 6 years and as I explained its unlikely Nunes even gets her there or does much if she does based on how she's been fighting.

How am I wrong? When has Nunes done anything you expect her to in recent fights? When have we seen GDRs ground game in recent years?Oh I’m sorry, you’re never wrong about anything
I almost forgot
carry on
That's new to me lol, I was basing part of my read on the Morae KO. That and the others he has knocked down with his straight right."black men" bías
What gave you cold feet?Bought out of my max bet on Holloway.
<{chips}>
It's like a Russian troll farm thought it worthwhile to infiltrate and destroy this forum. Some incredible takes on here for this event.
What gave you cold feet?
Let's take subs out of the deal, although Max hitting a guillotine on a gassed/inattentive Volk happens in one universe out there.
Does Volk outstrike Max? I can see it being close for a round or 2 or 2.5. But after that, I don't see how Max doesn't start to pull away.
Does Volk KO Max? Well, maybe. But Max is still granite until I see otherwise.
Does Volk outgrapple Max? Again, early, I can see some moderate success. The Aldo gameplan might work. But Max is not gonna sit there and take it. I would actually like to see a grapple-heavy approach from Volk because it's going to tire him out faster and the pull-away in 3-4-5 could be more pronounced.
Any of the research and stats bubbling up about Volk have gigantic caveats attached to them that are labelled: Shane Young, Jeremy Kennedy, Darren Elkins, Chad Mendes, and Jose Aldo. That depth of competition, as proven by not one but two beatdowns against a better version of Aldo, is levels and levels below what Max has faced. Holloway arguably took multiple rounds (all three judges agreed it was 1) off a gigantic LW and contender Dustin Poirier. Volk lost a round to Darren Elkins. Kind of rest my case right there.
I like Volk. I've bet him a few times now. This is MMA and shit loves to happen, but Max is a humongous step up and I think we see it Saturday.
Really dont like Volks pressure game. DP had his best success moving forward and Max doesn't have the best defense on the back foot. Call it gamblers intuition. Dont like max bets in general and im on a tremendous cold streakWhat gave you cold feet?
