The UFC has lined up an exciting match to close out 2018, with a highly anticipated pay-per-view event featuring a super fight between featherweight champion Cris Cyborg Justino and bantamweight champion Amanda Nunes. Cyborg has maintained an impressive record since her pro debut in 2005, remaining undefeated. Nunes, with a career record of 16-4, has also shown exceptional performance in recent matches, defeating top competitors.
As the fight approaches this Saturday, prominent MMA trainers have shared their insights. Javier Mendez, a respected trainer, noted that Cyborg holds a strength advantage over Nunes due to her size and cardio. On the other hand, Nunes possesses technical quickness, providing her with a different edge in the match-up.
Marc Montoya from Factory X commented on Cyborg’s strategy, mentioning her intent to pressure Nunes and engage in close combat against the fences. To counter this, Nunes would need to employ feints and takedown attempts effectively. Din Thomas from American Top Team emphasized the unpredictability of the fight, acknowledging the strengths of both fighters. While Cyborg is currently the favorite, Nunes has the skill and determination to potentially sway the outcome in her favor.
