re: Could you take Amanda Nunes in a fight?

She doesn’t spar with grown arse men. Because those grown arse men would wreck her.

Spoken like a man who has never set foot inside a professional fighter's gym.

Sparring does not equal full-on fighting.

Look, bottom line, is that we can go back and forth about this little scenario for years and years with no kind of resolution.

The truth is, we'll never find out. But I'm of the school of thought that most men vastly overestimate their ability because they think they'll just be able to pick her up and throw her around like a rag doll.

Fact is, Joe Rogan, who I'd venture to say has more in-depth knowledge about the sport than any of us here, for the exception of perhaps Kyle Bradley, and he consistently has said that untrained men consistently overestimate their ability to go against trained (female) fighters.

But whatever...I forgot what ridiculous cesspool I begrudgingly post in. 2 weeks training...y'all got this.

Now, this is not me saying that if her and I started rolling that I’d be able to beat her, as I have zero knowledge on grappling, but if it was a straight up, standing brawl, I’d have a great chance because I’m stronger and faster and more violent than she is.

Well this is dumb because she would immediately close the distance and take you down.

And that is the difference between a fighter and keyboard warriors. A broken nose wouldn't make them quit, but in your mind it is a fight ender.

Yes. I would kick her in her balls and she would tap out.

Fallon Fox (transwoman) breaks skull of female opponent

After the fight, Tamika Brents gave an interview and she said that she never felt such power and strength at any woman before she was fighting Fallon Fox.

“I’ve fought a lot of women and have never felt the strength that I felt in a fight as I did that night. I can’t answer whether it’s because she was born a man or not because I’m not a doctor. I can only say, I’ve never felt so overpowered ever in my life and I am an abnormally strong female in my own right… I still disagree with Fox fighting. Any other job or career I say have a go at it, but when it comes to a combat sport I think it just isn’t fair.” – Tamika Brents said.

I compete in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and regularly roll in class with females, including some Amazons around my same weight (180-190 lbs). Some are technically better than me but none are as strong as me. I don't use strength to try to beat them because to me that's an unfair advantage I have as a man. But if I were to go 100% I could undoubtedly overpower them no matter what size or skill level they are.

Nunes is 5'8" 135 lbs with a reach of 69". By contrast Connor McGregor is 5'9" 154 lbs with a 74" reach. Most men have a reach of about 3" longer than their height so a 6' male would have a 75" reach. A 6" reach advantage on top of 40-50 lbs weight advantage would make me think an average male in decent cardio shape could probably keep enough distance to take on Nunes. She would eventually have to try to close the gap at which point you would try to take her down. Once on the ground, unless you get caught in an weird submission (rare in street fights) the GnP would be too much for her.
