Amanda Nunes retires

I do like that part of the new meta in women’s MMA is to just switch stances. Worked comically for Nunes against Pena. Worked for Grasso against Valentina. Completely neutralized their opponent’s best weapon because they didn’t have an answer to southpaw.

I love to see a Women Win

(Amanda Nunes)

September 19, 2024 Rookie's Playbook

I’m back at it again deep diving into things I have no concept of, and today it’s the world of the UFC!  I like for my first read-through something to be an explanation of sorts so I can try and figure out exactly what is happening, and today I'm diving into the beauty of women champions. 

From my understanding there are four types of championships, there is feather-weight, bantam-weight, fly-weight, and straw-weight.  I’m not gonna lie, half of these to me sound like the same thing with AI generated names.  After doing further research it all depends on the weight of the fighter, which when I was younger used to confuse the hell out of me because I thought it was so rude to segregate people into weight categories, now however I know it’s so you don’t get absolutely murdered. 

Feather-weight(126 pounds) has no current champion, but they do have three past champions.  Amanda Nunes won in 2018 with two defenses and a TKO of 1 over her opponent Cris Cyborg.  I’m not going to sit here and lie to you either if my last name was Cyborg no one could talk to me. That is such badass.  The only knowledge I have of a TKO(Total Knockout) is when executed the fighter is left unable to complete the fight, so that is insanely hardcore to me.  Currently, the brazilian fighter has insane stats ranging from 13-2 TKO, SUB 4-2, and W-L-D 23-5-0.  Now, again I will not lie to you I only know what the TKO is.  

Sub is when a fighter ‘taps out’, yielding to their opponent so that they win.  So, that takes the badass levels down some, but hey who knows this could actually be the lowest for someone and she is the dominant woman to have ever lived.  Then the W-L-D is win, loss, or draw.  The thing that I'm getting at for Nunes is that she doesn’t believe in draws and eats up her opponent every time, 23 wins! Insane! 

Now that I know the terms let's move onto bantamweight, which is the 135 pound limit.  The current champion for this category is Raquel Pennington, with an outcome of a UD over Mayra Bueno Silva.  Now comes my next question, the hell is a UD? This is a term I have heard of and often yell out when I want to look knowledgeable, it means unanimous decision.  This is when all the judges are in agreement of which fighter is the winner, so good for Miss Pennington! 

Pennington’s stats are W-L-D 16-9-0, TKO 1-1, and sub is 1-1, not bad but not my new favorite fighter Amanda Nunes good.

Women’s flyweight is next on our list and their poundage (?) is 125.  I’m going to be honest, with all the searching and rules about the fighters weight is insane to me, what is a one pound difference in the grand scheme of it all you know? Anyway, the current champion of this category is Valentina Shevchenko who won in a unanimous decision against Alexas Grasso! Look at me knowing my terms, this is what we call development guys.   Shevchenko’s stats are W-L-D 24-4-1, TKO 8-1, and Sub 7-1.  I’m gonna be honest, Miss Nunes has my heart, but Schevchenko scares the shit outta me the most. 

The final category is straw-weight and the weight is 115 pounds, again the names just all seem too similar for my taste and I find them very much confusing but non the less I digress.  The current champion is the lady with the best cheekbones I have ever seen Zhang Weili who won against Carla Esparza with a Sub2.  Her stats rival Nunes to me with a W-L-D 25-3-0, TKO 11-1, and Sub 8-0.  She is a Chinese fighter whose career I feel I will be following closely. 

After all that research I can confirm that this is the most intriguing of the sports I have covered so far, and I simply cannot wait to learn more about it.

nothing i hate more than the fact that some of my favorite in-game CageBlade content comes from MK11, in which Sonya is played by massive TERF asshole Ronda Rousey

Can Amanda Nunes come out of retirement for a bit and handle Ronda again??

Amanda Nunes beats piss out of Irene Aldana and then retires!

Nunes beat Aldana in every phase of the fight. Striking, wrestling, grappling, and not looking like she was staring death in the face. Aldana basically completely shut down as soon as Nunes landed her first jab. She tried repeatedly to rebuild some confidence but

I don’t know what happens with women’s 135 now. Sadly, the weight class is barren. I fear we’re getting a Holly Holm/Raquel Pennington/Ketlen Vieira gauntlet.

Thank you Nunes for an amazing career.
