Yeah he had (and has had) really low output, he can't keep relying solely on his power forever. Eventually it will catch up to him where he will get out pointed or grinded out but it will be really fun until then.I do think Chito's tendency of absorbing punishment and looking for a big shot of his own could cause him some trouble, though. Not so much that he's going to get KO'ed because he seems to have one of those legendary chins, but he can give away rounds.
Hell of a career. He should be very proud of it. 2nd best Canadian fighter ever?
Yeah, his style is too demanding for 5 rounds at his age. You could see him slowing down in R3. And even at his best he didn't have much finishing ability. Maybe he can win the first 3 rounds and hang on against guys that don't hit as hard as Chito, but I don't think he can consistently beat the top guys in the division over 5 rounds.Thinking a bit more about Dom Cruz. I think he can still hang at 135lbs, but his chin can get cracked now and I don't think he has finishing ability.
The answer is pretty simple to me - he needs to take only 3 round fights as long as he can. Don't take anymore 5 round fights unless it's a title fight. He can outpoint guys through 15 minutes like he did this weekend.
She did announce it in the post fight interview. Laid her gloves down in the ring. It's kind of funny because I just read an article last week about how she still trains with ATT even after Amanda left to start her own team where Nina also trains at times. In the article she said she will train with ATT for the rest of her career. Well, turns out that was only 3 more days.Apparently Nina Nunes also retired? I didn't watch the prelims, so maybe she announced it in the post fight interview. Kind of a weird career. Started off 1-3, then won 5 in a row to get into the UFC, lost her first 2 in the UFC, then won 4 in a row to be near a title shot, then ran into Suarez, had a kid, took 2 years off, lost again, changed divisions, won, and then retired.
Sometimes I feel like I rip on the "depth" WMMA fighters in the UFC a bit too much but Nunes was always an awful watch and won't be missed.
Whatever happened to that guy around here who went on forever about how Cynthia Calvillo was amazing and the future of the sport? And no, I'm not talking about Dana White.
Add: Dug up the old posts, looks like the guy doesn't post anymore. Or at least posts about as often as Calvillo wins.
