Scouting Report: Amanda Nunes via LevPisarsky UFC289
While she achieved a higher level of ability than any other female fighter in history, Nunes is now past her peak. This manifests itself in slightly slower hands and flawed cardio, as fighting too intensely for just the first round can result in her gassing by the second. See the firstfight as proof. Even fighting at a fairly slow, reserved pace in the rematch, Nunes appeared to barely have enough energy and looked tired near the end.
Nunes still throws accurate, powerful shots from either hand, especially her outstanding right cross, left hook and looping right—all of which can produce a knockout. She also has stout leg kicks and a dangerous head kick at her disposal. In terms of grappling, Nunes is an excellent wrestler, particularly in the clinch, where she has proven quite strong and features an array of takedowns.
