In a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=3pUyBbvChH4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">video<\/a> posted on his YouTube channel, Sonnen explained why he doesn&#8217;t expect Holm to make things easy for Nunes:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Amanda Nunes is in for a tough fight with Holly Holm...\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3pUyBbvChH4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It would seem that this fight is gonna take place on their feet. And when you look at the stance, you look at that left high kick of Holly. I mean Holly&#8217;s got a long way to go. Someone&#8217;s not gonna just come over and steamroll Holly. She&#8217;s in great shape, she moves a lot, she&#8217;s got good head movement, she uses her whole body. The knees, the elbows, she&#8217;s creative. It&#8217;s just one of those things where even if you go and grab a round or two, you still got a gal standing in front of you with more world championships than I can even produce for you right now off the top of my head in three different sports. Boxing, kickboxing, and mixed martial arts. That&#8217;s just a hard night out. That&#8217;s just a hard, gritty, tough night out.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>While Sonnen said he isn&#8217;t exactly predicting a victory for Holly Holm, he did make it clear that he feels &#8220;The Preacher&#8217;s Daughter&#8221; has a shot at dethroning Nunes.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m not even predicting for you guys an upset. But I will add a commentary that Holly Holm can most definitely win this fight. This is a three-sport world champion who&#8217;s going to be in large part, if history is evident of how this fight is gonna go, [fighting] in her realm which is the standup. She&#8217;s gonna have to deal with a tornado. Every other girl&#8217;s had to deal with that same tornado.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Nunes hasn&#8217;t lost a bout since Sept. 2014. If Holm can defeat &#8220;The Lioness,&#8221; then she&#8217;ll snap Nunes&#8217; eight-fight winning streak.<\/p>\n<p>Can Holly Holm defy the odds once again to become a two-time UFC women&#8217;s bantamweight champion?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chael Sonnen wouldn&#8217;t be surprised if Holly Holm becomes a two-time UFC women&#8217;s bantamweight champion.
