re: Could you beat a 135 pound female mma fighter (amanda nunez)without training?

Yet all combat sports classify by weight, you should hurry up and let them know.

Such a red herring.

Weight classes are necessary for fighters with similar training. There are a huge number of examples of weight/strength not being the determining factor in a fight, early Tough Man comps, and well World Star/X. If this wasn't the case fights could be predicted with near 100% certainty with a formula that just included weight and big 3 totals for each fighter.

The question is pro female fighter vs untrained baw.

Nobody ITT outside a few who are apparently fairly well trained would enter the octagon with Suga Sean or the Funk Master at 135# and expect to leave walking despite most having a clear weight advantage and possibly a strength advantage for a few. Even their lizard brain knows better. Technique and training overshadow some serious weight and strength disparities in MMA. That is 100% fact.

The ONLY issue here is can the skill of one of the best Bantamweight female fighters in the world overcome the weight and strength advantage of wholly untrained people in this thread in a fight.

One thing to ponder is outside of pure strength competitions* how many sports in the entire pantheon of sports can an untrained man beat the very best women in the world? Why then does combat sports seem so difficult for untrained men to admit they might get rocked?

* even in pure strength most elite/pro level women would outclass an untrained man. The 158# class women powerlifting record total (B/S/D) is 1172 pounds. The percentage of men on tOT that can do this is very low. 117# women's record is 940# and the percentage here that can go straight to the gym and total 800# is going to be small and the ones that can post a 800#+ total have been doing some training it isn't just what is left over from the weight room in high school.
