Amanda Nunes doesn't think Holly Holm would have done any better if she fought Miesha Tate again and believes she is the toughest challenge for the champion at UFC 200, on July 9.

Amanda Nunes disagrees with Holly Holm's manager, Lenny Fresquez, who said champion Miesha Tate chose the weaker opponent for her first title defense at UFC 200. As "The Lioness" told Combate, she believes she's more well-rounded and prepared for Tate's style.

"How am I easier if his fighter was the one who got finished? She was put to sleep. Holly Holm couldn't defend herself because she lacks jiu-jitsu. If she fights Miesha again, she will be a weak opponent. In order to be a champion, you have to know at least a little bit of everything.

Nunes says she's the best choice for UFC 200: 'Holm couldn't defend herself'

she might be the champ in a 3 round fight but not a 5 round one.

Yeah, if this goes past 2 rounds, Miesha will grind her down and ultimately finish her IMO. Nunes is dangerous though.

I see this as the UFC putting fighters against Tate that are Bispingish, will give a good fight but no risk t the title since they want Rousey to have it back, i suspect we will see names that really dont belong in the title picture get called.
