MMA Fighting recently,<\/a> Holly Holm divulged that she’d prefer to get a shot at Nunes’ bantamweight belt, rather than her featherweight belt <\/p>\n\n\n\n\u201cI think that bantamweight is probably where we would fight, I think that would be the case,\u201d Holm said. \u201cWho knows really how the future goes, but I definitely think that bantamweight is what we would fight at. I\u2019ve been wanting to go to bantamweight for a while, but that doesn\u2019t mean that I\u2019m so focused on it that I\u2019m not open to other opportunities at \u201845. I\u2019m just taking each fight as it comes. Aspen Ladd is at 135, so that\u2019s where I\u2019m going.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Having watched Amanda Nunes unseat Cris Cyborg in December, and battled Cris Cyborg herself, Holly Holm as some interesting perspective on a fight with Amanda Nunes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt just shows how styles make a difference,\u201d she said. \u201cSo Amanda can\u2019t look at a fight with Cyborg and say, \u2018Well, I beat Cyborg, and Cyborg beat Holly, so I can beat Holly.\u2019 It\u2019s just styles make a difference. You look at the fight with [Valentina] Shevchenko and Nunes. It was more of a battle, more of a death match, more of a game like that. And Nunes had a hard time with Shevchenko, who is now a 125-pound champ, but she was able to knock out a 145-pound champ. You look at there\u2019s a 20-pound difference in between that and when they fought at 135 it was just a whole other game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd a fight with Amanda and I would never be how it went with her and Shevchenko, it\u2019s not going to be how it was with her and Cyborg. Every fight makes a difference because styles make a difference, but with that being said, you can always look at fights and everybody has tendencies and habits and things like that. But that just brings me back to one of my main points that anything can happen in there. There\u2019s no promise of any victory. You have to get in there and work hard and anything can happen.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How do you think Holly Holm would fair against Amanda Nunes?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
