Looks like she's walking to her own funeral.

[–]OldmanShardyhands 646 points647 points  (5 children)

She looks like Orin from Parks & Rec

[–]awesomesprime 90 points91 points  (1 child)

Thats exactly what she looks like I couldnt place it thank you.

[–]ChunkyDay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right? It's been bugging me since that fight!

[–]culdesacpresident 11 points12 points  (0 children)

She looks like the ghost of Deb from Dexter

    I saw a documentary where it showed death row inmates in their final hours. I shit you not, she looks VERY similar to how they appeared making the final walk.

      Someone’s gotta edit in The Undertaker’s entrance music. Megan looks like a dead woman

      [–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

      She already had PTSD before fighting

        Reminds me of Frank Bruno walking out to face Tyson years ago. He looked beaten before he even stepped in the ring.

        [–]_We_Are_DooMeD 55 points56 points  (2 children)

        Yeah, that second time he was absolutely terrified, I was actually watching it with some people who thought he could win, even before the terror walk I knew he had no chance, I was the only one though. It was a bit like the Lennox vs Bruno fight, which I went to. I wanted Lennox to win because he was a much better fighter for us Brits going forward. But the whole stadium thought Frank could win and wanted him to. It seemed like only me and my mate wanted Lennox to win, he had an off night and Frank had a good night, but it had to end at some point, Lennox was far too good for him.

        [–]Bobo_Balde 3 points4 points  (0 children)

        Usually I would never say that a fighter fought scared but Bruno absolutely looked terrified in the second Tyson fight and fought that way too, holding on for dear life.

          A lot of guys were mentally beaten before facing Tyson. The aura of invincibility around Mike during his prime was some thing else.

              First thing I thought. She’s got that “I drank too much but I gotta play it cool till I get to the bathroom” look on her face.

                She looks like she’s got the flu. Also, when Amanda connects with that double jab, it’s like she’s playing against someone with a disconnected controller

                Bad weight cut? Not that a better one would have helped.

                [–]CalibanRed90 207 points208 points  (15 children)

                Bad fighter vs. GOAT is more like it.

                It’d be like if UFC decided to feed some contender series HW to Francis or Stipe right now. You’re gonna get a dude looking scared to death and getting slept bad.

                [–][deleted] 90 points91 points  (2 children)

                You knew she had no chance when they could only pull 2 clips of her winning for the the promos, and good ones at that.

                [–]billycrystals69 46 points47 points  (1 child)

                And Megan was steamrolling the competition in Invicta before coming to the UFC, truly shows that there are levels to this shit

                [–]somewhatfamiliar2223Team Askarov 39 points40 points  (0 children)

                Her competition in invicta was Peggy Morgan and a 40 year old charmaine tweet. There were strong grapplers in invictas 145 division like Pam Sorensen and Felicia and she didn’t fight them until there was no other option in the ufc.

                [–]barc0debaby 10 points11 points  (0 children)

                I'd be like if Stipe got covid and they put Harry Hunsucker in as a last minute replacement.

                I actually wish there were more fights like that in MMA, you either get a great can crushing or you get a moment like >rank 15 pro wrestler Fujita hitting Fedor harder than hes ever been hit in his life:https://youtu.be/G60M_gJ4Uf4

                [–]timpanzeez 35 points36 points  (2 children)

                Yeah this is all well and good until Ngannou literally kills someone. I like the idea, but man elite fighters absolutely need to be fighting against their peers. They can do serious damage, and they’re going to be fighting like it’s against another expert. Love the idea just don’t think it’s possible

                      And Clarence spars at home with both parents. And Clarence’s parents have a really good marriage

                      The man really lost a rap battle because he doesnt come from a broken home

                      I would’ve booed that well-raised piece of shit off stage too.

                      Tbh I think he lost bc it’s like Tyrion Lannister’s line about using your weakness as your armour, so it can’t be used to harm you. Rabbit used Clarence’s whole rap of disses against himself before Clarence could use it against Rabbit

                            I think GDR deserves a lot of credit too.

                            [–]r_slash_jarmedia 29 points30 points  (0 children)

                            the difference there is that Germaine actually presented a threat when it came to the kickboxing so Amanda took the strategic approach of wrestling her most of the fight. whereas Felicia and Megan literally had no chance

                            [–][deleted] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

                            GDR is clearly the second best Bantamweight, the only one that causes Nunes issues on feet, unfortunately for her she’s just not the GOAT

                              Maybe she was overcome with anxiety and was throwing up nonstop before the fight? Idk. Or maybe took xanax like Forrest Griffin before the Anderson Silva fight.

                              [–]throtic 13 points14 points  (6 children)

                              ​

                              As someone who has taken a lot of Xanax, and nearly overdosed on it... I can not ever see being good in a fight after taking one of those.

                                  I was certain she wouldn't make the walk to the cage. When I saw this I was 100% she'd pull out.

                                  Mad respect to her for making the walk, tbh. She knew she'd get murdered, walked in and got murdered regardless. She a real one.

                                  You don't have to win, you just have to try. I appreciate fighters who give it whatever they have even if it's not enough. I can respect that way more than two fat guys hugging each other for 25 minutes while trying to hit insane haymakers.

                                    I had a friend who doesn't follow MMA bet on Anderson just because of the ridiculous odds. He text me when he saw this walk out that he made a mistake.

                                    [–]greyetchcoffee > crystals 45 points46 points  (0 children)

                                    I bet on her for the odds, too. Just because there could be a freak toe to the eye again or something.

                                    I also bet on Aljo to win by stoppage. That bet paid!

                                      Heard on a podcast she was made to do this walk twice and hence why she looked so out of it/pissed off etc. Might have been the Anik and Florian pod.

                                      The podcast I heard it on was 20min one with Laura Sanko. Laura said the TV crew often ask fighters to redo that walk multiple times , to get the perfect take

                                      I imagine that’s something that Can mess atleast a tiny bit with your focus :/ not that i Think it would have changed The outcome of this fight though.

                                            She looked way too scared in the first walkout so they did another one. She fainted in the second one so they used the first.

                                            Yeah on the UFC rankings page, there are no more contenders listed for Womens feather weight.

                                            It was already like that before the Anderson fight though. Dana has said they will keep the division open as long as Nunes wants to defend (I think just so they can keep Nunes with double champ status) can anyone confirm if there has ever been rankings for womens featherweight? It’s such a shallow division I don’t see how there could be

                                                I told all my buddies when I was watching this she was scared as fuck. I’ve had that same look on my face before some of my fights so I knew instantly what she was thinking. “Oooo fuck what did I get myself into”

                                                At first if was funny to see, but then i realized that its kind of sad, she didnt do anything wrong except not be good enough. She is just a person perusing her dreams who was put in the spotlight against someone way better than her, that really humiliated her for our entertainment. I feel bad for her.

                                                  Does Amanda even feel good about these defenses. They aren't even competitive it's like they're executions.

                                                  Show her some respect. It's tough to make that walk even if it's just a local promotion against a nobody. Walking in to fight possibly the greatest female fighter of all time is an absolute mammoth task. This feeling never changes for some people. Even the greatest fighters still have this feeling walking into any fight.

                                                  the reason she looks so off is because the ufc camera crew always walks way too slow so fighers have to adjust by walking awkwardly slow

                                                  That was my first thought, man. My uncle was a jockey and he would get fucking annihilated on painkillers (addiction) before races and he looked identical to this. Then again I've also seen dudes take too much meth and they look similar. Either way, her body was rejecting what her mind was going through.

                                                  To be fair she's said that she has anxiety issues and is nervous as hell before every single fight.

                                                  Was there any damage to her arm from the submission? I heard her talking about rehab on her twitch stream, but didnt catch on what it was for.

                                                  I follow her on IG, she had nose surgery. I assume that's what she's recovering from. Basically every fighter seems to have a mangled nose that they get around to fixing when they have a gap in their fighting

                                                  As stupid as this sounds, was there any reason why she seemed so weary/disinterested during that walk? Surely it wasn't because she knew she'd get destroyed by Amanda

                                                  She shouldn't have trained for the fight and just go ham for a wild swing and take that 1% chance she connects.

                                                  Would have been better odds of winning than the 7 months she trained now.

                                                  A transcript of my train of thought during this very short fight:

                                                  • "I hope Megan makes it a good fight at least"

                                                  • "Wow she defended that takedown really well, has she made the adjustments to win the fight?"

                                                  • "oh wow what a hard shot. Wait, why does Megan look like a cartoon lamb all of a sudden?"

                                                  • "Megan, get out of the way, move around the cage"

                                                  • "Megan, don't just stand there like a statue and absorb strikes"

                                                  • "why would you shoot for a takedown?!"

                                                  • "oh god she's getting battered"

                                                  • "oh god she's getting choked"

                                                  • "Damn it, Megan"

                                                  Barring that one defended shot, it was like everything wrong with Rousey's performance against Nunes but so much worse cause Megan's only chance in this fight was on the feet.

                                                  She about to get beat up in front of the world then lose her job.

                                                  Her boss literally pays prostitutes more than her.

                                                  She's always super pale and the huge light on her doesn't make it look better. But she's definitely just entering the arena here, not on her way to the "stage".

                                                  I'll be the last one to disrespect any of Nunes's opponents, but the more I watch this fight the more it starts to look like a tattoo artist convinced by some friends to try MMA vs the G.O.A.T.

                                                  MMA math and all, but Felicia Spencer easily handled Anderson and against Nunes Spencer was a smiling punching bag. Tough as fuck, but offered nothing.

                                                  I think Megan might just not have enough athleticism for her size. She looks good hitting pads, but then in a fight its glaring how slow all her strikes are. If she fights people who are smaller than her and also lack athleticism she can overpower them with her size, but if she faces even a decent athlete she just looks slow and overwhelmed.

                                                  Nunes right now is just so far ahead most of the other competition. Really the only fight of interest for her at 145 is a rematch against Cyborg. Maybe in a couple of years Claressa Shields will develop enough to make an interesting fight. At least at 135 the gap isn't as massive, but at 145 no one has anything for Nunes.

                                                  Not to be an asshole but she looks like garbage hitting pads. Her punching mechanics are non existent and her coach will do they here let me move the mitt for you instead of you actually moving your head thing.
