Nunes promises tapout or KO
Amanda Nunes: “Her jiu-jitsu is not so strong. She does have one good move … her heel hook from half guard, but I’ve trained a lot how to escape and counter that.”
UFC women’s bantamweight contender Amanda Nunes spoke recently with Brazil’s Portal do Vale Tudo, and said she plans to stop Shayna Baszler, by tapout or knockout.
“If she gives me the opportunity, I will knock her out, but if the fight goes to the ground, I’ll be very well prepared,” said Nunes, via Google translate. “I am a black belt in jiu-jitsu and I promise – knockout or submission. “
Baszler has 14 of 15 wins by submissions, but Nunes said she is ready.
“I will try to explore the stand up, but if she grapples me, it’s all good. Her jiu-jitsu is not so strong. She does have one good move, though, her heel hook from half guard, but I’ve trained a lot how to escape and counter that.”
Amanda Nunes fights Shayna Baszler tonight on the main card of UFC Fight Night 62.
