I must be in the minority here that likes WMMA. A lot of these matchups have turned out to be more exciting than the men's division. I'm looking forward to AManda vs Holly Holm at UFC 239.

they are exciting because they remind us of the older days of MMA where there was more variability in style

they are also newer to MMA, which makes the fights fresher and more exciting

but a lot of them do not move like the men.

I wonder feminists never trash the gender segregation in MMA. there are weight classes as well.

Also I remember UFC put Ronda in the top 10 p4p in the world...

Amanda Nunes is pretty amazing though.

She is probably the most impressive female fighter I have seen.

yeah, like Ronda went from GOAT to retired and obsolete within a couple of fights. Then the same happened to Cris Cyborg a couple of years later. She's not obsolete yet, but also not unbeatable as people thought she was. The division is evolving with every new show.

Stylistically Holm vs Nunes is the most interesting stylistic matchup this month.

Nunes basically only knows one thing; stalk, cage-cut, 1-2 combos, but is so effective at it.
Holm on the other hand is very good at circling and lateral movement, and should have the skillset to never get cornered against the cage. From what I've seen, Nune's also lacks the lead-hooks and body kicks to pin her opponent in-front of her for the 1-2 combo, so I think Holm should be able to juke and slip away.

I prefer Amanda's fighting style, but predict a win for Holm.

Agreed, one trick ponies like Amanda are still having their way in MMA. I'm not sure if Holm's gonna win, but she has the fight IQ to not get suckered into a fire fight, unlike JDS for example.

That wild swing by JDS...

When guys at that level have such major flops, I just want to know what their gameplan was.
