Our prediction is compiled from the analysis of the fighters and is an indication of who we are leaning with to win this bout.
Our best bet is the play that we like the most for this fight or where the most value lies, and is where we would put some of our bankroll behind.Article contentNunes might have been a tad overconfident going into her last fight, which can happen when you’ve rarely been tested in seven years. She had plenty of success in the first round, both in the stand-up position and on the mat, but her overconfidence in her grappling ability almost led to a Kimura from Peña.
She looked both gassed and reckless in the second round, taking shots to the face from Peña but refusing to change her tactics and continuing to try to walk down her opponent. I overlooked Nunes’ conditioning in that fight since she hadn’t fought at bantamweight since 2019, and her last two fights had been at 145.
That said, we’ve seen Nunes with much better cardio in the past, and she has likely shored up that weakness while training for the rematch. If she doesn’t push for an early finish and conserves her energy, she has the tools to pick apart Peña.Article content Expect a more methodical and conservative approach from Nunes this time around as she regains her belt.
