Recap

Pre – Fight

If you watched the Nunes vs Cyborg  Cyborg fought dumb but went down swinging. I’m not convinced Nunes could do it again. Cyborg has fought smarter since and there is no one in Bellator anywhere near her and no one in UFC is close to Nunes. Run it back
If the division had moved on to an interim or new champ, Pena wouldn’t even be getting a title shot. She is not on a win streak, in fact she is only getting the title shot because Amanda is champ. Pena is the only ranked 135er who has yet to fight Nunes, that’s why she’s next. Holm vs DeRandemie or Tate would have definitely been chosen over her.
Instead of acting so entitled, Pena should be thankful for Amanda & quietly wait for her to return, she owes her for this gift title shot.

I think the work that Amanda has put in with Kayla Harrison is going to pay off. Unless Pena has made some adjustments in her stand up I see her possibly getting caught by Amanda on the way in. Pena can be a little reckless moving forward and Amanda is very good at capitalizing on those types of mistakes.

Pena’ charges forward swinging wildly with chin up. You don’t lose those bad habits over night or one training camp. Her wrestling will do nothing to Nunes….its a wrap already. Amanda Nunes by severe bludgeoning

Let see what happens.
