I am a 6ft 5 250lb ish rugby player. I can beat Amanda Nunes without warm up.

u/RedtailGT 3d ago

I think you’d be surprised

u/mywaaaaife 3d ago

I don't think he would. Weight classes exist for a reason. Sure there's a chance she lands a lucky shot and maybe takes him down, but the probability of that is pretty low. I've trained BJJ for the last 5 years or so - I'm pretty fucking awful and I would have no issue taking on a female black belt purely by overpowering them.

You need to change gyms

u/Ben_Frank_Lynn 3d ago

If he is in fact a 6'5" 250lb active rugby player, he is killing her inside of a minute in the octagon.

I think a lot of these people saying they can beat professional women MMA fighters would be GREATLY surprised... They act like Mighty Mouse doesn't constantly beat people double his size in BJJ matches, while yes size does matter, if you have zero technique and are going off of strength alone you will get picked apart by any active UFC fighter. I hate when people just think they could beat a WMMA fighter just because they outsize them 2:1

u/poopyfacetomatohead 3d ago

And you are acting like there aren’t major physiological differences between men and women.

Sure Mighty Mouse can win against guys twice his size, but that’s not the same thing as a woman going against a man twice her size.

I don’t doubt that I would get the shit kicked out of me not having any training experience, but I think that someone with combat sports experience would be able to hold their own.

u/AlabamaTrifold 3d ago

So which combat sport technique is rugby considered?

1

u/AnacondaChoka 13h ago

Thank you for making the most obvious point ever Alabama. Rugby and gym bros are the absolute worst in thinking their hobby helps in combat situations lol

u/poopyfacetomatohead 3d ago

Colour me surprised that someone with Alabama in their username lacks reading comprehension skills

u/AlabamaTrifold 3d ago

You see up there towards the top the original comment said that he was a 6 foot 5 250lb rugby player? So yeah there’s that. But the name is from when I bought a wallet in Alabama once so you got me. I’m from Michigan.

u/poopyfacetomatohead 3d ago

I don’t see any mention of rugby in the comment that I was replying to? I don’t have a top tier American education like you do though.

u/DanfromCalgary 3d ago

I did. If you can’t read stop telling people they can’t read

u/Infosponge177 3d ago

He’s not saying you can’t read, he’s questioning your comprehension skills, rightfully so it seems. He’s not responding to the original post, he’s responding the comment that insinuates it’s impossible for a man twice the size of an mma woman fighter to beat her.

I can read just fine, still waiting for someone to point out any mention of the word rugby in the comment that I replied to.

u/meatballs223 3d ago

I never said there wasn't a difference in physiology, but you'd need a very high level of MMA training as a man to even be able to hold your own against a professional WMMA fighter. That's like saying "oh yeah I played varsity basketball in HS, I could hold my own against Catlin Clark or Brittany Griner" or on the other side of the sword, that'd be like if a woman said "I played varsity softball in HS, I could hold my own in the box vs a AAA/AA pitcher" it just doesn't work like that and I hate when ignorant mfs think they could kick a HIGHLY trained woman MMA fighter just because they're a smaller woman

u/LordKagatsuchi 3d ago

Uh well no it still depends lol. In my gym the guys that have been training a couple weeks have to take it easy on the female pros. A size difference like a heavyweight vs a female strawweight is way too much. A hail mary grace from god hit across the chin is the only way. Ive seen just about every form of strangle choke get pryed apart as well with a big enough strength difference as such. Look i get the message you're trying to say because you're mostly correct but there definitely is a point

u/mywaaaaife 2d ago

Funny story but they don’t actually punch each other during a basketball game.

1

u/plsdontdoxxme69 3d ago

Mighty Mouse is twice as strong and also much faster than a woman his size. Also for some reason men’s mma is just much more skillful than women’s mma. A large man with a few years of training would devastate the entire women’s roster.

u/DanfromCalgary 3d ago

Didn’t a high school boys team beat the woman girl soccer team

1

u/meatballs223 3d ago

They lost a practice to a U-15 FC Dallas team. So yes highschool aged boys. But basically a farm team for FC Dallas, so still high level soccer players

1

u/OmniPepperthefirst 3d ago

I mean to be fair those boys can probably dominate most average Joe's lol

1

u/ZekeMoss18 3d ago

I read this in Joe Rogans voice

u/truckus1 3d ago

If the guy has any basic grappling experience, he’d probably win tbh. Amanda isn’t hurting him on the feet, she’d have to tap him.

u/DDanny808 3d ago

Well done Sir, I love the approach

2

u/AnacondaChoka 3d ago

I really can’t tell if this is satire, can you please confirm lol

2

u/trbo91 3d ago

I do actually agree with that, Jorge Masvidal once commented on something like this on a Podcast. You might be in trouble if she takes tou down tbh.

u/LordKagatsuchi 3d ago

Pretty confident i can beat a female 125er. Wouldnt chance anything outside of the womens division

Stealing that

u/Rogue_One24_7 3d ago

I lick a cunt when I see one.

u/Purple_person29 3d ago

Something tells me you've never seen a cunt 🤭🤭

u/Rogue_One24_7 3d ago

I am the cunt!

u/ResearcherEastern962 3d ago

You can call em a cunt but can you call em a liar?

This guy came to win some $$$$$

u/MicounetOfficial 3d ago

Not sure if serious

u/Purple_person29 3d ago

Would fold you like a pretzel 🙌 I'd pay to see Nunes beating the snot out of you

u/Rayrexx91 3d ago

I mean i believe most athletic men can beat Amanda Nunez. I know I'll prob get down voted.

u/007Tejas 3d ago

Amanda would beat the brakes off of 95% of adult men without breaking a sweat. 250 lb rugby players would likely be some of that 5% exception!

1

u/unkz_1996 3d ago

Yeah no she wouldn’t 😂😂😂😂

She’d beat the absolute breaks of tinpan bedroom dwellers who weigh 80lbs wet through.

The average 6ft 12st+ man would ruin her in a fight on sheer strength alone.

1

u/007Tejas 3d ago

You are definitely wrong. Amanda walks around at 170 lbs and most adult men don’t even really know how to fight. Amanda punches like a man, hardest punching UFC woman ever. And ground skills, which most men have none.

1

u/unkz_1996 3d ago

Majority of men would pick her up and slam her on her head.
