UFC 213: Nunes vs. Shevchenko II-The Official Live Discussion Thread!

[Deathstroke]

No godamnit. I wish her well, but this sucks so bad for tonight's UFC fnatics

[requital]

gay jesus has got to win this one, i want to see him vs bisping.

[JKHT]

what happened to Nunes?

[nikeoneplatinum]

what happened to Nunes?

She's out, I hate Nunes.

[DanielGhita]

Oh for FUKKKS sakes man

[PepperedAngus]

Im already sick of Nunes. Ill never forget what she did for us by stomping Rondas ass out of the sport, but shes gotten way too big for her britches already. They should feed her to Cyborg and humble her up. I suspect the cut to 135 had something to do with this pullout, and its just too risky to have a way too big fighter holding a belt you apparently want headlining/high up on PPV cards. Not sure why they would put her as a headliner in the first place tbh...shes not a draw, and girl fights being on PPV at all feels like a rip off, much less headlining.

Fight fans are here to see Romero and Bobby Knuckles, and Overeem/ Werdum anyways, Im just glad neither of those fights was lost.

[Millington]

wmma

[Satrakian]

There are rumours that JJ will step in for Nunes, is this legit?

edit: JOANA BLESS

[MinisterOfLust]

I understand illness and sickness do happened but common man it is not acceptable on fight day to cancelled a fight.

Holly shiet!

[nikeoneplatinum]

Can't stand Nunes, impossible to look at, talks like a baby, always shoves her hand in opponent's face in staredowns.

[nikeoneplatinum]

Holly shiet!

Awesome if true.

[FIREnICE]

might be just dana hyping joanna up and fight probably won't happen. but if it does and she steps in, i'd gain a lot more respect for her.

It does say that she was ill and not injured though. I mean, Overeem got food poisoning like 2 days before his fight with Hunt. Some things are uncontrollable.

Maybe Nunes just has a bad case of the meat sweats

Apparently Joanna says she wants to fight Valentina. That would actually be pretty sweet.

i was thinking more in terms of ufc fixing weight cutting somehow. lots of fighters getting sick cause it's not the healthiest thing.

Me too. Not because of her sexuality or her accent but good Lord that bish sounds retarded

I am tired of her wanting hespect because she's the chompion

Same here I don't care about her sexuality, just annoys the **** out of me.

Yeah that actually slipped my mind that she could be ill from the cut. Something really does need to be done about it

[Vayne]

Maybe she's getting back at the UFC for giving Honda all of the media publicity? I dunno.

[Deathstroke]

Would've been a great fight hope Joanna is able to step in on VERY SHORT notice, but the executive director thinks it's too late to replace Nunes with anyone.

Kimbo Slice was going to fight Ken Shamrock who suffered a cut the day of their scheduled fight, then Shamrock was replaced that day with Seth Petruzelli.

If they don't allow Joanna in then Elite XC >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> UFC ffs

This is what I am saying. I go years without getting sick. A high stress event where your body is significantly weakened by improper weight cutting is about the only way a professional athlete (using that term for WMMA feels wrong) gets sick 8 hours before having to perform. I dont care what it is, liver issues, kidney stones, massive onset of flu, etc...all this is triggered by the stress on the body of these regoddamndiculous weight cuts. Nunes is not a 135 lb fighter, she probably walks around at 165.

[wickedman]

Lol, as if this card couldn't get any worse, I would 100% expect a refund if I bought tickets to this garbage. Not that the fight deserved to headline anyway.

And Nunez is a pussy. I'm reading that the doctor cleared her and she said she "doesn't feel good". Her job is to fight and if she can't fight with the cut she makes to fight at the weight she is the belt holder at - you need to move up or gtfo. Embarrassing, will root for her to get ****ed up in every fight going forward.

[Deathstroke]

.@danawhite
@joannamma said she is ready to fight today.
I am ready now 100%!
Let's do it for the title belt in 125 lbs. Today!

[Deathstroke]

If Nunes is really cleared, I DEMAND she fight.

Call CM Punk to step in. Shevchenko would win. Srs

She won't get no hespect from me now if they cleared her to fight and she is a acting sick.

[requital]

massive respect to joanna

[wickedman]

Should strip her of the belt, if Joanna stepped in to a title fight with less than one days notice the card would be 2x as good as it was originally anyway.

[CorytheKiD]

The rightful fight is now the main event.

[Groce]

Gay Jesus vs Forest Whittaker should've been the main event all along so zero fuks given over here

What's wrong with you groce?! RU an MMA fan?!!!!!

I think Jesus/Bisping should been, but whatever.

[Deathstroke]

Nunes if true is a bigger pussy than Bisping speaking of him

Agreed, pissed me off when she put her fist on Valentina's face and physically struck her at that staredown.
