About Josiane Nunes
A left hand that can change any fight
Josiane Nunes arrived in the UFC on a long winning streak and with one immediately obvious trait: exceptional power for bantamweight. Seven of her professional wins have come by KO or TKO.
Fighting style
The Brazilian is compact for the division, so she needs to close the distance against opponents who are usually taller. When she does, she throws wide, powerful shots with clear intent to do damage, accepting exchanges to find her opening.
A stalled run
After winning her first three UFC fights, a series of setbacks against Chelsea Chandler, Jacqueline Cavalcanti and Priscila Cachoeira slowed her progress. Her style, however, still poses a very specific problem: few fighters at 135 pounds can relax in boxing exchanges against her power.
