Part 5/10:
A significant aspect discussed was Amanda Nunes’ apparent fatigue during the second round. Despite her status as a dual-division champion and perhaps the GOAT of women’s MMA, she appeared exhausted, swinging wildly with little movement or strategic positioning. This fatigue was described as unexcusable at such a high level, illustrating how crucial mental fortitude is in maintaining composure and execution under pressure.
The conversation emphasized that mental state is often more decisive than physical ability. Fighters who doubt themselves or let frustration take over may inadvertently surrender their advantage. A mental game where fighters are prepared to push through exhaustion and adverse moments is essential for victory.
