The fight here will definitely be a struggle between a couple of the best in the UFC women’s featherweight right now. Both of the women could easily pick up a win in the fight, but the one that has not really had much in the way of challenges lately is Nunes and that could actually hurt her in this fight, but the height and reach advantage helps her. Look for Nunes to take this fight for the win, but the way that Spencer resist makes it harder for Nunes to really win the fight early on.
