Michael Bisping: I’d put money on Amanda Nunes beating Henry Cejudo
“I think I’d put my money on Nunes in that fight. I honestly would. “
Former UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping has struck comedy gold once again, joking in a recent edition of his Believe You Me podcast that he’d pick Amanda Nunes to beat Henry Cejudo in a man vs. woman, champ vs champ superfight.
“I like it. I mean I’m not for a woman fighting a man or beating a man up. I like what he’s saying, but I kinda wanna see Nunes. I think I’d put my money on Nunes in that fight. I honestly would. I think I would put my money on Amanda Nunes in that fight,” Bisping said, per MMA News’ Fernando Quiles Jr.
“Henry Cejudo is 5 foot 4. Amanda Nunes is 5 foot 8. I’m not saying she’s thick, but she’s big. She’s bigger than Henry Cejudo. She has knockout power. I’ve seen Cyborg spar with men and dominate men. I have seen Cyborg in the gym rolling with men and beating men. And I have seen Amanda Nunes go out there and punch Cyborg in the face and knock her flat on her face.”
Bisping’s hilarious comments come after Cejudo’s tongue-in-cheek callout of Nunes in a recent interview with TMZ Sports.
“If Amanda Nunes wants to get it too? Valentina [Shevchenko]? I’m calling you guys out too. I take no prisoners,” Cejudo said earlier this month.
Cejudo, an Olympic gold medallist, last fought at UFC 238 where he knocked out Marlon Moraes to win the vacant bantamweight title, becoming the first simultaneous flyweight and bantamweight champion in the promotion’s history.
Nunes, 31, is the only other fighter on the UFC roster that currently holds two world titles. ‘The Lioness’ is the concurrent women’s bantamweight and featherweight champion, and is considered the most dominant female fighter of all time.
