 |
|
The Nunes-Budd Staredown got me thinking about what the best one of all-time is.........I realize that the Budd-Nunes was so intense because Nunes didn't understand the english commands to turn and face the crowd, but still, it was a pretty good staredown.
#3 Julia Budd vs Amanda Nunes
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7X6nQ16bweI
#2 Zoila Frausto vs Miesha Tate - a lot of trash talk leading up to the fight
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dEbhXLtNM4c (1:15 mark)
#1 Cyborg vs Marloes Coenen - no staredown ever comes close to this as far as I know of
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1rzyCOoGU50 (38 sec mark)
Any others that I'm missing?
Comments or thoughts? |

Cat Zingano always gets "up close and personal" with her opponents at weigh-ins! 
CAT VS IVANA COLEMAN
CAT VS BARB HONCHAK
CAT VS CARINA DAMM |

| Yes, I agree, Marloes and Cyborg was the best staredown ever. Cyborg looked angry that Marloes wasn't afraid of her at all. |

Marloes is truly impossible to read insofar as her stare never betrays any emotion. In fact, she could probably be one hell of a poker player if she wanted to. |

I just noticed that Cyborg didn't blink an all during that staredown 
I loved the ice cold stare Marloes gave Sarah during the referee instructions right before the fight. |

Never saw that, can't see to find the video of that fight, anyone have video of that?
I thought Finney looked pretty scared in her staredown vs Cyborg, but who wouldn't. |

Why does Cyborg remind me of a Great White Shark in this picture? |

I can't find the video link but Felice Herrig vs Nicdali Calanoc might have beaten out Cyborg-Coenen.
Also, Cat Zingano had another pretty good one with Hashi....

|
|
How important is the staredown to the fighters? I know that it's good for the promoter. And secondly, how do you women keep a straight face druing these staredowns?
Best wishes,
David |
