Bad weight cut = Bad cardio for 5 rounds. First fight against Valentina she was fading in the 3rd round. Amanda knows this. She didn't want to take chances this time and lose her precious belt because having a gimicky belt brings money, status and fame. Better pull out safely and have a meaningless belt for a couple of more months.
Your probably right
Brazillians realized people were catching onto them making excuses after fights. Getting out of fights ahead of time is their new MO.
Hard to argue that.
Out of curiosity how many times has a champ in the UFC pulled out the night before or same day due to "illness"?

probably
i remember cat beat the shit out of her, i believe in the 3rd round, once she was gassed
It does sound like fear of failure made her pull out.
This is why she needs to be stripped. She fucked herself with the weight cut and so instead of just dealing with the consequences, she is going to fuck over everybody else and take next to no reprucssions for it.
If the fucking medical doctors are willing to let you fight, and you pull out because you don't feel good, that needs to come with consequences. Most guys that get sick still want to fight but are not allowed to BECAUSE of those doctors...this is just embarassing.
This is what I don't understand about the Schaub tweet.
Yes Nunes won, but consensus was/is, that if I was 5 instead of 3, she would have gassed.

And her opponent wouldn't get more tired as the fight went on?
