UFC 207 will feature the long-awaited yield of Ronda Rousey. Since Rousey lost the UFC bantamweight title to Holly Holm in UFC 193, the ring has been tossed around like a game of hot potato from Holm into Miesha Tate to Amanda Nunes. Rousey does not have a simple task to recover the title, as Nunes is an aggressive finisher.
The co-main occasion features another name battle, as Dominick Cruz seems to shield his bantamweight title against heavy-hitting Cody Garbrandt. With Cruz and Garbrandt chirping each other contributing into the struggle, you should expect some fireworks.
Amanda Nunes vs Ronda Rousey
Nunes is among the best finishers in MMA today, as 12 of her 13 successes have come through stoppage. Throughout the early part of her career, she got by on her physical gifts but has been gaining the technical abilities to cooperate with it. The biggest leaps and bounds have come from the standup game, as she is learning how to exploit her length and electricity due to her work at American Top Team.
Nunes’ wrestling abilities are not exactly stellar offensively, but she is great at maintaining the fight standing so she can use her natural power. If she can get into the clinch, she’s strong and will routinely use this power as a faux wrestling game by knocking her opponent to the ground with her strikes.
Top controller is vital to Nunes on the floor, as any extra stress on her cardio is damning for the champion. If she can attain top position, she’s brutal ground and pound that capitalizes on her ability and her long achieve relative to the branch. The Brazilian has a black belt in BJJ, but rarely uses it from the top unless she can get hold of her opponent’s back.
There were two large knocks on Nunes during her career: you is cardio and the other is struggle IQ. To be very frank, her cardio is bad. She gases early and she’s never been able to put forth much of an effort past the second round. Nunes has made some questionable decisions in the Octagon, but coaching at ATT and only having more expertise in the cage have helped to temper this situation.
MMA is a what-have-you-done-for-me-lately sport. Rousey has been its main star until her mystique-shattering reduction to Holly Holm. Ever since, people have been quick to talk down Rousey. However, sometimes a loss is just what a fighter needs to get back on course (*cough* Conor McGregor *cough*).
