She also has to think how she will react to a strike from a grown man. In the history of mankind that usually ends very bad for females. But maybe MMA stopped the human biology conundrum


I agree a large, in-shape man could overpower Nunez if allowed to grab her with no resistance. But here's the catch, these is almost no chance anyone on this thread without years of training will land any impactful strike (punch, kick, etc.) on Nunez while standing, unless its a sucker punch.

At the same time she will land multiple strikes on varied parts of your body while you are trying to take her down. All it takes is one of those shots to the legs, ribs, chest to give her the upper hand, especially against a man not conditioned to taking strikes.

I played around with boxing for a while, there is no substitute for getting hit in training. Even the biggest, baddest dudes in the gym had to learn how to cope with getting hit when they first started. Getting hit in a bar fight is no substitute for getting hit by a trained fighter.

First of all, she doesn't walk about at 135 lbs. That's her fighting weight. She's prolly cuts 20 lbs to get there.

99.9% of guys wouldn’t get close to her. The leg kick would make your legs crumble

Let me revise my position. I consider myself an untrained and average man...but my search revealed otherwise.

The avg US male is 5'9", weighs 200#, and has a 40.5" waist. I can't predict what would happen with that tub of lard.

I am still confident I could destroy any 135# woman in hand to hand combat.

I am also confident a walk to the end of the driveway may force the avg US male to tap out. Funny yet sad.

Considering I was a collegiate wrestler, grew up boxing golden gloves and still in great shape at 52….yeah she wouldn’t last a round. Hell I would likely KO her with a jab.

Oh bullshite.

I've been caught by people who thought a sucker punch was going to matter and they punched a helluva lot harder than any woman on the planet.

A trained fighter will be crisper not telegraphed, and targeted... But she isn't punching as hard as a drunk frat guy or your average lineman.

Physics.

Also, a trained fighter is going to know the risk of punching without gloves. The average person in a bar fight swings for the fricking fences with zero regard for the bones in their hand.

With any female fighter that size, my concern is calf kicks and speed. Fighting straight on rather than with one foot forward would be an absolute necessity. Otherwise you have zero chance of responding quickly enough to check a kick.

And at that point you had better be extremely confident in your defense and chin.

Mayweather is considered the best boxer in the world. Why doesn't he fight light heavy weight and heavy weight guys? Because much greater size and strength are massive obstacles to overcome regardless of the level of skill!

A man and woman of equal size, the man will almost always be stronger. A man with no formal training and has 40-50 weight advantage, and the confidence to do what has to be done, would/could kill a trained female MMA fighter EASILY.

There's an obvious reason why a 14 y/o boys soccer team destroyed the best adult women's team in the world.

I really think we've mostly lost sight of the average dude, and we're thinking of the average athlete or average former athlete who can still get around and do some shite.

The average dude with 40-50 lbs on Nunez isn't those above things and likely but not guaranteed to lose against someone like Nunez mainly because of conditioning.

It just seems like you have to do it in 30 seconds or you'll be gassed, or that average dude we're talking about would be. You don't want to stand and trade punches with her, so your best option is to take her down, which is certainly possible due to the physical size/strength advantage you have. But if you're already tired when doing that or even if not, I think it's also very likely before you realize what happened she's found a way to get you in a choke hold or some arm bar and you're done.

I mean I also think I could crush an 8 year old. If if not willing to “prove it” does that mean in crawfishing there too?

Again, I know that you don’t have the slightest clue about what goes on in an MMA gym, but women spar with men all the time. And professional women spar pretty fricking hard with men, Amanda Nunes trained with almost all men in Brazil including a bunch of nutcases like Wanderlei Silva. Go watch Rodtang spar with his wife, I promise these women are going 50-75% on a regular basis against men who can do more damage at 5% than you can at 100%.

So again, just let me know which city you’re in and I’ll pay you $1000 for a 10 minute sparring session.

What crawfishing? Where did I ever say I want to or will fight a woman? Do you know what crawfishing means?

Only a psycho male wants to do that or wants to watch that. Hell only weirdos want to watch female sports in general

Don’t worry bro we all know you can totally do it but just don’t want to because you wouldn’t want to hurt that poor girl.

OT version of the kid that totally would take his bike off the big jump but doesn’t want to show everyone else up.

I totally think I can do a lot of things I would never do willingly

I think I could easily kill a toddler in a fight-Not going to do it

I think I can beat the hell out of a 135 lb woman-Not going to do it

I think I can still easily drink half a fifth in a sitting-not going to do it

Etc etc


Not a strange concept really. Some men still think men should never willingly fight a woman. Wild I know
