Nunes pushing hard for a takedown in the fifth. Not getting it. She gives up on it. More stalemate.
They are drunk. They just want to see chaos. Joe Rogan instructing the fans on how to feel and act.
BJM encourages them to fight harder in the last round. Warranted.
I feel like Shevchenko won that round. Could be 2-2. Probably 3-1 Nunes given the way judges favour the champion in close fights. Hope there is some...
DC compares the fight to GDR/Holm. Yeah, pretty much.
Shevchenko is doing well when she attacks or counters but her output is low and she's on her heels. The optics of it have Nunes is bossing the fight.
Pace needs to go way up for Bullet if she wants to win this fight. Must win the last two rounds.
Dull fight, frankly. Like watching people poke each other with sticks. Tilt the third round towards Nunes.
BJM pauses the fight and tells Nunes to "close the goddamn hand". Very stern.
Rogan and DC suggest that Nunes is still fresh because she hasn't had to grapple. Bullet isn't initiating the clinch.
Superman punch to kick to punch from Shevchenko, GSP combo
If Nunes pokes Shevchenko BJM needs to take a point. She is not heeding his warnings at all.
Nunes vs. Shevchenko 2 is a lot like Woodley vs. Thompson 2. Feel like Shevchenko won the second round, meaning probably two out of three judges...
The crowd has been great all night but they are getting restless. Both fighters only giving 80% waiting for something to happen.
Valentina has had a few opportunities to clinch but Nunes is strong enough to spin her off.
Shevchenko with a broken/dislocated finger? Looking for her trainer to pull it out and adjust. First round goes to Nunes but not dominant.
Nunes looks determined to prove she can last five rounds, so, slow pace to start this fight.
The crowd no hespek Amanda Nunes.
