Imagine if Charles and Aldo spoke English just as well.
Imagine if Nate spoke English that well.
Jk I love Nate. All respect to the man
Oh buddy than the game has changed
I was just thinking about how Aldo has been missing out on a big market for years because he won't learn English
Listening to Charles is painful
Jose Aldo would be atleast 2 times popular and rich if that was the case... probably 2 times rich too
RIP Amanda(😳), she was a brave soul and will be missed. Lol. What edit?
Facts 💯
Can she be saved?
😂I also dont see her win in any way. But you know everything is possible in the UFC 🤔
@Jayy Delay I know. Or else the elder gods will be angry then I would have to go consult them😔
@@Aluja77 can they fly?
Amanda, so respectful!
A real class act! She should be a role model for many!
It's crazy how Amanda Nunes is Brazilian that speaks full English it's amazing
She's been living in the USA for so many years now, also she's married with an American lady and she's been working in the UFC like for a whole decade now so
@@yeahboy9585 ^
!!!!!!!!
It's crazy how so many Americans speak ENGLISH but don't speak PORTUGUESE
How is it crazy? Millions do it.
Amanda Nunes is about to destroy Peña.
Nunes said “Saturday is my night baby, December is my month..so nobody is gonna take this belt from me..” the look on her face, she is 1000% sure of herself while simultaneously being so humble and respective. Gotta love it.
It sounds like she’s focused as hell a focused Amanda Nunes is fucking terrifying I can’t wait to see what she does.
Facts
I was a bit afraid she wasn't focusing very much after everything she conquered and the harder opponents she faced, but It seems like she's definitely focused on defend what's hers.
Lmao that didnt happen.
@@probablystoned Ikr? I'm speechless. Not for Pena, but for Amanda's dumbness. Did the same thing Cyborg did when she lost to Amanda. Pena's act wasn't impressive at all, she got completely dominated on the 1st round, Amanda got cocky and refused to leave Pena's game on the 2nd.
Confidence without arrogance. "Once you get locked in that cage, everybody's dangerous" that's the mentality you can't let go of to continue being successful in this sport. This'll be my first time watching this generational athlete live, I'm excited!
I’ve seen her fight in person twice and I’ve been watching her fight since 2014. She’s amazing. You’re gonna be in for a treat for sure.
Confidence without arrogance, something that conor doesn't have
Congrats bro, you're in for a real treat!!!
But you know Cat Zingano beat the shit out of her ryt
@@marksman9249 so did conor to dustin in 2014, stipe to ngannou in 2018
Just a warrior with a warriors mindset and intelligent and never underestimates anyone in battle. She's amazing
Agree you mate. There are fighters and there are great human beings. Nunes is really a great human being so down to earth.
@Muskeln-kaufen.de Mensch, nerv doch nicht, du Volltrottel! Was schaust du sie dir denn ständig an. Nur um deine wertlosen Produkte hier anzupreisen?
Did you just call amanda intelligent? Thats a yikes. Shes about as smart as paulo costa and thats not saying much
Didn't look like it yesterday
@@SeckinGuler-Music imagine thinking that thing is down to earth lmfao
“She’s delusional” made me laugh.
Hilarious but only because it's SO true
@@highbrixgardens9491
Amanda is a real carpet cleaner. Also, I bet she the one who wears the pants in the family and gets her carpet cleaned
L
Whos' delusional now?
After the fight, these kind of comment made me laugh
Amanda is so scary how humble and dangerous she is in her eyes you can see when she thinks about the fight her facial expressions change to blood thirst or something. It’s a safe bet to go with Amanda on this one. Just another day at the office for her.
Post fight edit: DAMN didn’t see that coming, but wit those odds Amanda probably bet against herself.
Betting on a clear favourite doesn't really make you much money tho.
@@thejoke2604 always take the risk
@@Imyzay
Exactly. The odds is where the money is. That's why they call it gambling.
If you look at her fights, the moment she's about to finish someone, she has the most feral grin on her face it's scary. XD
@ yeah that's always cold. 🥶🥶
I miss this lady fighting…this is a truly natural athlete and mental warrior 💯🤌
You misspelled man
@@Scratch-athon
And you should keep trying
@@Scratch-athon I mean Chris cyborg might be a man lol when I watch that fight over suddenly Nunes becomes “hot “ lol jk
Lol this is no lady.
@Kianite
Ikr. Internet courage is real.
This what makes Valentina and Nunes the best in their division. Regardless of how dominate they are they always respect they’re current opponents skill set. Although it’s clear their ahead of their competition
It's called just playing with their food.
What happen with people talking shit in interview what happened before the fight were they want to take if each other head off
@@jerrybresnahan9993
Not everyone drinks proper 12 and end up acting the fool bro.
Their* they're*
@@loenklos7823
The spelling is right. Just some are placed wrongly.
amandas literally glowing. shes truly in her prime rn
How can anyone not like Amanda? She's the best! Always humble and gives great interviews.
humble yeah lol u forgot when she koed ronda what she did and said ? face off with valentina and many more i wouldnt call her 'humble' gwoat yeah but not humble lol.
@@Mikadubl33d she got real humble after she lost her cool at the face off with Valentina.
He she was the best but got rocked and whipped by a real female fighter w/ a daughter last night:}
@@bradspicks I feel the same way a real woman won.
@@conrado5910 And its very obvious if you know what to look for. *Nunes just radiates male features
I'm looking for how Julianna reacts if Amanda connects.. we saw Megan get wide eyes and crumble.. Julianna is a DAWG so we'll see how it goes.. really hyped about this one 💯
Julianna is getting smashed. She's a can running her mouth.
“Juliana is a dawg”😂😂
Lioness going to destroy DAWG
Amanda is so classy, and such a great fighter!
Lame
Classy is lame?
@@elijahdratte1118 Last Chance, is probably a millennial who doesn't respect women!
3:56 Amanda is so damn smart and I love it. Lmao she’s truly a student of the game and she watches everything. Amanda is right… McMann gave up in that fight against Peña. Honestly, McMann has always been known to GIVE UP in her fights. Also, it’s interesting how Peña claims Amanda hasn’t fought a wrestler / grappler since Cat Zingano and that’s a lie from the pits of hell! Tate is a grappler. Who does Peña think won the belt OFF Tate?! Peña is so annoying. I can’t wait to see her get beat up.
No lie Pena said the facts, Julianna's grappling is on another level compared to Tate + her striking is superior to Nunes Amanda has lost 3 times + Pena twice Amanda even had a hard time with Valentina some say she was outclassed, + the division was not cleared out as Nunes claims contesting against someone who calls you out is not the traits of a dominant scrapper, Nunes played politics with her title reign as long as she could ducking Julianna nor has she avenged any of her previous losses, she took on too much with the 2 belts the drastic weight cuts make a difference on certain competitors when stepping up to defend their challenges Julianna can take a beating she's conditioned for that her quick + accurate walk-in jabs with combination follow-ups is what the Lioness will respect.
😂😂😂 she cracks me up every time she says Julianna is delusional.😂😂🤣.
Still laughing?
Amanda seems so excited for someone that will finally talk shit, but it seems like Julianna is doing a 180 and not talking how she usually does
Turns out, the Lioness had never fought a warrior.
I love Amanda Since day One!!!! I’ve been a fan of her journey & story! She always strikes me as honest & genuine and so grateful for all the opportunities she’s had. I’m forever a fan. She’s a great inspiration for many . God bless her & her Family
I'm glad she lost
Got her face punched in
@@SirDevonG Punched all the Way In 👊 It was Beautiful 😆
I'm still a fan even in her loss. I don't just ride the coat tail of whoever is on a winning streak like most of you do. I'm a real fan. I ride with my fighters through the bad times and the good. Amanda handled her loss like a pro. She didn't make any excuses and even congratulated Pena on her win. I actually picked Pena to win this fight but I won't join the crowd and crap on Nunes over it. She still a great champ and I'll be rooting for her every time she fights.
You mean Amando !?
When she said this is the best weight cut she's ever had, Julianna cringing in real time haha
Right. Haha. Like the Embedded 2, when she said "everything is falling into place", that's scary...
😂😂
How can you not love this kind of MMA fighter. This is not just a champion. Amanda is THE champion.
God Bless this Lady and her magnificent power and that inviting energy she embodies. Every time I watch Amanda "The Lioness" Nunes, I am left speechless and in awe of her courage and strength to go above and beyond her own limits. This is what's called "LIMITLESS"... SHE IS IN THIS PHASE NOW. LET'S GO......!!! (LOVE YOU AMANDA, STAY HEALTHY AND STRONG AND JUST YOU - NO MATTER WHAT.)
Amanda Nunes is genuinely happy with life. It shows
I wish my mom loved me half as much as Amanda loves her daughter 😭
Bro
*his
@@Last_Chance. 🤢🤮🤮
Dude...
I really love your mom tho
After seeing julianas sparring on embedded I feel bad for her
Feel bad for who? Surely not Amanda
Amanda’s skin looks flawless!!! I need a skincare routine drop
Give Valentina Shevchenko for Nunes one more fight 👍😅
Valentina will beat her again
Amanda is the GOAT, like everybody was calling Ronda the GOAT. The bottom line is, Amanda is fighting in an era of womens MMA where she has no competition. Her best fight is Shevchenko, who is a natural 125. Amanda will never really get the respect she deserves, like Ronda, because she was simply ahead of her time.
bruh what are you talking about shes seen as the GOAT by literally everybody😂
She retired Ronda, annihilated Cyborg & everybody else? Wym no comp?
@@eba0202 exactly. And so was Ronda at one point. Maybe you forgot about how they were actually entertaining the idea that she would be able to beat Floyd Mayweather. Remember that??? It has nothing to do with Amanda. It has everythinh to do with the state of womens mma at the time of their dominance. 10 years down the road, someoen else is going to replace amanda as the female goat just because the field has caught up where the top 10 is actually a legit top 10. why dont we call Royce the GOAT? Because hes seen as a legend and a pioneer now instead. Same will be said of Amanda, by no fault of her own. Again, she was just ahead of her time.
@@KDuff-2015 Maybe you forgot they were saying the exact same things about Ronda when she was on top of the mountain. ppl were actually entertaining the idea that ronda would be able to beat floyd mayweather in a MMA fight, remember? ronda was the flavor of the month--everyone was calling her the goat, even without fighting cyborg because she was just hitting everyone with the same move and nobody could stop her from doing what she wanted to do. MMA ppl were legit wondering if ronda would be able to compete with bantamweight men. my point is people like crowning GOATs all the time, and Amanda;s time will pass as well because shes in the same boat as Ronda. Everyone else around her sucks at a time when she's winning titles. Doesnt mean as much when the competition is weak. Womens MMA is not a finished product so the champs will be seen as "legends" and "pioneers" (like Royce Gracie) and not necessarily GOATs. Shes like the Bill Russell of Womens MMA. Bill Russell has 11 rings, but MJ is considered the GOAT. Why is that?
@@lawrence208 I would never say she would beat Floyd for 1 but bro she has been DESTROYING all the top comp. KO by punch or kick she is DIFFERENT!!!!
How can you say everybody she fight suck now? Compared to who?? What female fighters of old time do YOU have beating Amanda I want to hear it bro you had a lot to say
Peña did not say anything about her not being tested on the ground she said she didn’t know, and history has pointed with evidence that Amanda often looses against strong rough wrestling type fighters she can laugh but her record isn’t one of being undefeated.
I feel sorry for Julianna she's getting smashed I just can't see this fight being competitive at all the only fight makes sense after this is Nunes vs Valentina 💥
That's why we love this sport nothing scripted anything can happen! I'm a man enough to admit I was wrong. Julianna made me look clueless! Congrats champ that was special 👏🏿 👏🏿👏🏿
🤣 You guys never learn.
@@qaidikramuddin stop acting like you knew Julianna was going to beat Amanda!! 🤫
@@alexmulugeta9582 Oh you salty boy. Did you go looking for my comments or are you a psychic to determine that?
U have to respect Amanda... Dangerously humble...
You know you're a boss when you show up in your PJ's
😂😂😂
I didn't even notice
how bout Nunes shedding muscles and dropping to 125 and meet Valentina on her turf to try to be the first ever 3 weight female champ?? id say that would take eternity for a woman to ever do that again :D
She can't make 125
Why on earth would Nunes cut? when she has both victories over her. Valentina as the challenger needs to eat something and move up.
@@KGR4NT non sensical victories and cheating victories on Valentina
@@khotunkhan3950 Call it what you want...However, on their record, it is 2 Wins for Nunes & 2 Ls for Valentina. As a result, she has no reason to go down there and put herself in a position to cut far below her typical weight cut when it isn't even a 1-1 matchup. If Valentina really wants this fight she has to come up herself... it's that simple.
Nunez is like Mike Tyson in his prime . Opponent intimidated before entering cage . Has recognized one punch power . Possible 1st rd stoppage !
Honestly, since having her kid, Amanda's EQ is amazingly up infinitely. I have never seen anything like it. It's truly amazing. Or maybe she has always had high EQ, and she was just getting impeded by not being fluent in English and can now express herself better, or maybe it can be attributed to hanging out with Nina, who is as sharp as a razor, and that brilliance has been rubbing off Amanda little by little as they've been together.
Whatever it is, good for her. It's a beautiful thing to behold. I now look forward to listening to her, whereas before, I thought she was a lot-a-bit cringe-inducing.
She’s a boss
He's a boss

Bossess
@@Youngslimelife685 word
Man, it's so good to see how far Amanda has come. First time I saw her was when she starched Julia Budd in like 15 seconds, 10 years ago in Strikeforce... and here she is, on top of the mma world. Well deserved !
She sure is likeable. She's trying hard not to be brutally honest about Pena. Nunes is showing FAR more respect to Pena than the other way around.
I don't know if Pena is just a jerk and I never noticed it before, or if she is just selling her integrity to get some extra clicks. Personally I think she's just being a clown to get the spotlight on her because not a lot of people are very interested in her career. She's probably only ever going to get one shot at this, and she wants to make as big a splash as she can on her way to the ER.
I agree!
Couldn’t agree more with you!
Just look the names ….”NAMES” Amanda defeated…is insane!!
Tate, Rhonda, holy, shevchenko (2x) …germaine and none other than the ultimate super Cyborg!!….
All of this just put Amanda not only the greatest woman..but…also there with Gsp, Jones and Silva, as a legit GOAT.
there's no way this fight goes the distance. Amanda will finish pena.
I want to see Amanda put a beat down on suga Sean. That's the fight to make
Notice, how the media ask about Amanda’s fights and her greatness
Shevchenko is constantly asked about Amanda. Amanda doesn’t need Shevchenko for her legacy. Shevchenko needs Nunes for hers
I strongly disagree with your implied statement that Valentina Shevchenko needs Amanda Nunes for her legacy. Both are extremely talented humble fighters and true enough Amanda does hold the championship belt that Valentina wants. Valentina doesn't need anyone or any championship belt she's world class right on her own even if she never fought again! I see Valentina as one of the best future coaches!
Shevchenko is a Master.
Amanda is the double champ she should be the main event... don't matter if her weight class is lower than the main event .
Defend that belt you got this we're all behind you💪🏼
Not all of us.
I’m no behind anyone. I just want to see a good fight.
this fight won't go past the first round.. Nunes had way tougher opponent that didn't last long, this will be quick folks!
Amanda looked like an amateur in there.
That “GOAT” ego got the best of her and the skills went out the window.
RIGGED AND FLUKE
It's an honor and a pleasure to be her fan. Get it done!
Every Ufc fighters "he/she never fought someone like me"
Amanda always looks so happy. Big smile, positive mindset, Disney sweater, gotta love her.
That stare is intimidating like a hungry lioness.
She's never fought a dragon before.
Let’s Go Champ. Nunes All The Way ✊🏾
Lame
Ooops.
✊✊
Shevchenko is the only challenge for Nunes
When Amanda said "I can go up and down no problem" about weight class I felt that 🤣 in relation to my own weight
Amanda I think can beat some men in the flyweight division
@@lamichhaneakash8130 No chance. Basic biology, a male athlete will always be stronger, faster and more durable than a female athlete.
@@madgavin7568 Yes, biology do matters to some extent but trust me bro there are many women out there just as durable and with good striking ability I know because I've actually seen women beating the shit outta men with my very own eyes..
@@lamichhaneakash8130 Amanda is not beating any male UFC fighter period.
Let’s go Lioness!!! PURRRR
Her skin is flawless
Yes it is
Sometimes it’s nice to see a longtime champ get dethroned by a worthy challenger, but I can only imagine the beating that Nunes is about to serve her😕
Amanda ist literally on the level where she has to hype up her opponents to sell the fight. GWOAT 🐐
Such a classy champion. I wish all the best for you, Amanda.
I like the way she fights and I like the way she talks haha, that Brazilian accent is funny
I feel like she’s the same respectful person with whoever she’s talking with, similar to Dustin Poirer. This is how it’s done, unlike a Colby or a Conor. She really is a classy person, and obviously the best woman to ever do it. Money can’t buy class.
Oh shut the fk up. The reason Colby fakes that personality is to create entertainment. Stop being a closed minded fool. This is the fight industry, nobody wants to watch only respectful peaceful fight build ups. Colby is actually one of the most humble people in the whole ufc when he's not pretending to be the bad guy. Its entertainment, open your eyes, that is what brings the big pay per view numbers. That's why Colby and Usman almost hugged after the fight, go watch the footage of Colby telling Usman he has love for him and to go get his money and how he did it to sell the fight as soon as the final bell rang. All recorded on video. 100% fact.
that grin gets me every time 😭😭
interesting similarity between nunes, pierre, and some of the other greats. Their personalities are all eager for knowledge and experience and challenge but they remain humble and aware of the situation regardless of their success/repeated amazing performance.
And they both got beaten by underdogs at some point. Pierre/Serra. Nunes/Pena.
@@rodjjt7742 tru dat
Aww such a sweetheart, she's loyal to Dustin because of him being her friend/team mate, she's not rooting for Charles just because he's brazillian, and i like that.
Amanda is just glowing right now, more so than her last fight and she was glowing back then. She looks like she's exactly where she wants to be. It would be amazing if Julianna actually beat her. It would be a tremendous upset if Julianna won but I just don't see it happening. But hey, this is MMA and in this sport anything can happen.
"Anything can happen."
This fight was proof of that.
Amanda is the true 🐐 of women’s mma👑 her reign will live on forever
Nope.
Shevchenko is the goat

Easy fight for Amanda
Every fight at 145 is easy and if it’s not Val it’s an easy night at 135
I love this lioness warrior she's so down to earth
What y’all have to say now 😂😂😂😂😂
Damn paulo costas hair transplant was a massive success! He looks much nicer now in interviews and his english seems to have improved! Hope he wins his fight this saturday
Amanda is the best .. every one should respect her
Amanda looks very healthy and happy, she's glowing. Family suits her .
I love Amanda's energy, it's so possitive.
No one thought Holly Holmes would defeat Ronda Rousey either.
Tf? 🤨
Ha
And no one expected her to try and box a champion boxer. She had a god awful gameplay for that fight. Ronda basically just had good judo. Nunes is waaay more complete and not nearly as foolish or egotistical.
She always had a chance though, because of her great kickboxing/boxing background
The way she says “Sara Mcmann” ufff love it.
I love her as a fighter but can't stand it when she talks
Sada
Remember when Cat Zingano beat the living shit out of Nunes!!I watched that fight twice!!
When she said she's still learning with her diet.....I felt every word of that. Me too Amanda, me too.
Love this champ! ❤️
You and you alone
how many centurions Amanda Nunes has

Pena can win this if she takes it to the ground right away before they are sweaty. If she tries to stand with her it's over! Fighters egos are out of control so they never follow game plans.
I JUST WANT NUNES VS SHEVCHENKO 3 😏
Love Nunes! Very humble with the soul of a KILLA!
Amanda needs to return Masvidal’s outfit!!😂😂
imagine talking shit about amanda just for her to respond "Its great!! so exciting!" i would back out of the fight in fear
Now say that again😂🤣
@@adrianaruiz3725 yeah she got destroyed rofl. Amanda is horrible she was fighting like a girl
Amanda has heart . She's a born fighter from the womb doing upper cuts lol. She's not gonna let anyone take this belt without blood shed for sure. I'm so excited UFC 269 gonna be amazing.
heart without cardio= belt loss
Im betting on Julliana to win. I don't think she will but if she does $$$$
Odds: Nunes -800, Pena +550
Nunes is gonna take it easy on her and put on a show to not embarrass Pena. You’ll know first round.
“She’s never fought a lioness before” … damn! Love it
Amanda never fought a dragon before.
She got knocked da fuck out!!!
amanda’s such a sweetie and at the same time a stone cold killer, such a big fan 🏆
Who else thought of Ngannou when she starts talking about fighting for the gym lol.
Speaking of Sarah Mcmann, Julianna can't strike like she did when she fought Sarah!! Or she will get caught and hurt early.
I just love Amanda. She is the perfect fighter.
The reason she has such a lack of competition is because there is no competition.amanda has not only beat the best in the world but has absolutely dismantled and destroyed then.Pena you watch what you wish for because your not just facing the woman's champ of the world but in my opinion the greatest mma fighter of all time.that definitely includes the men.god bless you Amanda. Go kick some ass we all love you!as for Pena good luck .
Nunes is way too strong well skilled fighter she wins comfortably 😱😱😱🔥🔥🔥
What happened? She looked weak and slow and scared. Peña lit her up like a christmas tree.
Cyborg deserved a Rematch -ufc cancelled Cyborg Culture as quick as Amanda could!
Amanda is so nice. I like her a lot. Let’s go Amanda!
Amanda is the Queen 👑 of MMA!!
Not anymore.
This is going to be a sequel to the Megan Anderson fight lol
Amanda is in a class all by herself. Some of these questions are goading. Amanda is too smart for that. She has beaten every top fighter that was put in front of her. ALL OF THEM! Amanda Nunes is the greatest female UFC Champion and 1st ballot Hall Of Famer!
Yeah rite
@@Dingoplexor Make sure you change out those wagon wheels mate. 🤭
I love Amanda what a great fighter💯💯
Would this be top 5 biggest upset in the UFC if Julianna Pena somehow win?
100%
Hard to say, look at the top 5 odds and let us know
Rousey vs Holm was the biggest in terms of odds
Yeah her losing would be like israel getting brutally koed by vettori
@@tdotgang538 no its serra gsp
Cyborg had everyone scared of her, I can't see Julianna calling out Cyborg. That said Amanda Knocked Out Cyborg! If I had money to gamble with I'd bet on Amanda, guessing the odds will be -1500 Amanda and + 750 Julianna?
-800 Amanda +750 Julianna
