Rin Nakai Vs Tate

[marzwoody]

Nakai will starch Tate. this is all the proof you need.

Strength advantage.

Backflip advantage.

Booty advantage.

I literally see no way of Miesha winning this.

What do you guyz think?

[marzwoody]

Nakai by sub.

[mirinquads]

doe...

But seriously, who has the hog advantage here?

Nakai hasn't fought anyone near the caliber of Miesha. Nakai beat Tara Larossa who couldn't get into the TUF house and lost to Roxanne Modaffeiri twice. Yes she is strong but she uses a lot of muscle in her submissions. Miesha will break her down and break her. Don't watch Nakai's highlights. Watch her fights. She's also fought a bunch of cans. Easy money on Tate!

[KingofKings]

^ I'm with capt. Tate fought way better competition than Nakai. I gave Nakai the power advantage, but gave Tate the speed advantage and cardio advantage. Lets get this money

[Domestic]

One-sided comfortable victory for Tate assuming Nakai is not a drug cheat.

[marzwoody]

Someone who is a strong athlete like Nakai can take Tate down and crank a submission. she has good submissions. if you think Nakai doesen't have a chance your crazy.

[KingofKings]

Nakai is very strong. She is build like a tank. But at 5'1 she is going to have a huge reach disadvantage against Tate's jabs and counters.

You know what they say about ASSumptions right?

Horrible match making. The Japanese public want to see Nakai win. It's already an uphill battle for MMA to flourish in Japan. Having favorite's lose on their home turf is not good for the growth of Japanese MMA. It's already bad enough that they matched Gomi with Jury. It's like the UFC want to kill the Japanese market. Paying money to be bummed out that your hero's all lost is not something that Japanese fans will want to do over & over again. The whole card has horrible match making for growing the Japanese market.

[JIBBBY]

All Mesha in this one....

[Napes21]

She is pushing a world peace agenda and is strengthening the friendship bonds between the USA and Japan - she also is the cousin of "Frank" from Donnie Darko - how can you not like her to win?

[marzwoody]

^ Finally someone who understands where im coming from

[Napes21]

Lets not forget that she also beat up Matisyahu

[Napes21]

And has a gold belt in eskrima and has clearly been trained in how to handle a knife

When did Rin fight Lyle Lovett?

[CaptChaos145]

Nakai will gas. Her stand up is not very good either and you wouldn't know she has good judo cause she doesn't use it well in mma. Her technique is not so good.

If you replaced "Nakai" with "Tate", and "judo" with "wrestling"...

[Sanity Check]

Tate has shown she's vulnerable to being taken down by strong wrestlers like Liz Carmouche.

Tate's stand up has also not looked great at times in her fights with Julie Kedzie and Cat Zingano.

Tate's subs and grappling are probably her go to and the area she's looked the strongest.

If Rin can cancel out Tate's grappling and overpower Tate to get takedowns, she could collect the w.

Tate's stand up hasent looked good. she usually relies on wrestling. Nakai knows judo. Nakai is much stronger. Nakai has good submissions.

Tate is a lock! derp derp.

You're right, a first round armbar for Nakai seems like a formality.

[PaperTrail07]

Tate in the 3rd

I personally am waiting on the prop for Nakai by Flaming Sword of Heaven during the ref's instructions:

[CaptChaos145]

It looked like Miesha was half asleep in that fight. I think that was a perfect example of fighting down to your opponents level. She won easily but didn't look great doing it. Nakai will lose to a bunch of girls in the UFC.
