I don't want to see the rematch just yet but if Conor can possibly get yet another title shot then certainly Nunes should get a chance to redeem herself.
 
Her hunger wasn't there in her last fight or Covid has effected her body badly. She might never really recover from it fully.
 
Assuming that covid didn’t fuck her body up, Nunes takes the rematch handily and restores order to the universe
 
I don’t think she can be the same beast who ran through Honda, Holly and Cyborg. Fighters can decline for many reasons and it happened to Amanda.
 
She made a bunch of money, prolly financially secure forever, is a mom now ... its hard to keep the hunger going, to go the gym and make yourself run out of oxygen and keep defending takedowns etc. As much as I like dislike Floyd Mayweather, its hard to have that level of motivation when you have millions in the bank
 
Doesn't seem to be an issue when she's able to bum rush someone.
 
Let Shev demolish Pena again and then give me the trilogy fight vs Nunes. Thats the only way i will care for that division in the next few years.
Zero chance Nunes beats Val at 135 if Val is champ even on her best night.

Combined with how much of a counter striker Val is and just how low volume a fight like that is going to be and the typical judges, remember same judges as boxing, that give close rounds to champs I just don't see a scenario where Nunes takes it.

Honestly that scenario would set it up to potentially dethrone Ngannou vs Lewis as an all time top 10 worst fight in UFC history.

Dont know if you heard the news but Nunes beat Shev twice at 135 lol

These days it seems like dominant champions are almost guaranteed a rematch when they lose. It's almost a lock Usman, Israel, and Volk or even Valentina would get a rematch.
