Don’t expect Amanda Nunes to strike with Germaine de Randamie this weekend.

That’s according to the latter who will challenge Nunes in a rematch for the women’s bantamweight title at UFC 245 this Saturday in Las Vegas. The pair first met in 2013 where Nunes was able to get the victory with a first-round TKO victory.

Six years on from that fight, de Randamie looks back at that setback as a pivotal moment in her career as she believes it made her a mixed martial artist rather than a kickboxer. “The Iron Lady” hasn’t suffered defeat since and believes there is very little chance that Nunes and her will engage in a striking battle:

“I think the most thing I learned about it and the thing that will happen Saturday is she’s not going to stand with me,” de Randamie said at a recent athlete panel (via MMA Fighting). “She’s going to shoot on me.”

Nunes also appeared on the athlete panel later on and scoffed at the idea that her wrestling would be the only path to victory against de Randamie:

“I have so many things to do in this fight,” Nunes said. “I just have to take my time. I think what I’m going to wait for is she’s going to make a mistake. I know she’s going to make mistakes. Like the first time. I’m going to capitalize. The takedown for sure is something that I look for. But I don’t know when it’s going to happen.

“I know I’ll be able to strike with her. I know I believe I can knock her out. I know she’s very good what she has with her striking but I already see a lot of holes. We know each other very well. This is my second camp for her and I know I’m going to finish her.”

How do you expect the rematch to play out?

Aspen Ladd was unsuccessful in appealing her TKO defeat to Germaine de Randamie.

The two bantamweights headlined UFC Sacramento in July with the contest lasting just 16 seconds as De Randamie dropped Ladd after connecting with a flush punch. Herb Dean would step in and call an end to the bout with some believing it was an early stoppage.

Ladd — who suffered her first professional defeat in the process — would appeal the result, hoping to get it overturned to a no contest. Ladd and her manager Dave Hirschbein filed an appeal with the California State Athletic Commission (CSAC) and a meeting was held on Tuesday.

Their argument was Dean would not have stopped the fight after one punch if it was a male fighter in that same scenario. The experienced referee would deny that he was discriminating:

In the end, the CSAC voted 3-2 to uphold the result.

“I respect the commission’s vote today, we lost 3-2, life rolls on and I’m looking forward to my next scrap,” Ladd said in a statement to MMA Fighting.

Ladd will look to bounce back against Yana Kunitskaya when they meet at UFC DC in December. De Randamie, meanwhile, will challenge for the bantamweight title when she meets Amanda Nunes in a rematch at UFC 245 that same month.

Did you think Ladd was right to complain of an early stoppage?
