Glad to see this finally get done. Seems like they are making some progress with Stipe as well. Hopefully they get that done and set for 220 or 221

I didn't think this fight would be booked. I thought with Pennington's injury they would have made the easier booking of Holm vs. Nunes.

Hoping Holly can get in a groove, find her range and land that head kick. I won't hold my breath tho. Holly has underachieved in a few of her fights after the Ronda KO.

Holms feet and fast legs will be too much for Cyborn's ruggish thuggish bone and prowling of the Heaven-sent Cage

Cris Cyborg is the women's GOAT. Holly is definitely the best fighter that Cyborg has fought in quite some time, but I'm still expecting her to crush Holly. I want Cyborg/Megan Anderson after this!

Holly could arguably be the best fighter Cyborg has ever fought.  Certainly the best striker Cyborg has fought in MMA.

This fight will barely be competitive.

Prediction: correct Cyborg   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 3  

Holm couldn't punch her way out of a wet paper bag with scissors in her hands....she's so, so overrated. People keep saying this will the best striker Cyborh has faced LMAO Justino went to a decision with Jorina ******* Baars.

Holm has no path to victory in this fight. Zilch. Nada. Justino is better than her everywhere. So many people pulling the head kick thing out their asses, pimping that out like it means something. Here's the rub; Justino is ten times the kickboxer Holm will ever be.  She has about as much chance of getting KO'ed by a high kick as I have of making the beast with two backs with Margot Robbie ESPECIALLY considering that Baars landed a bad one on her and she recovered easily.

Holm is a retired boxer and hasn't nearly fought the caliber of thai fighters and kickboxers Justino has. AND Justino has been sparring with shields etc and is looking more and more like a proper boxer. AND holm is giving up up weight.

******* hell. The fact that so many people are picking Holm in this **** festival is bananas. For all those people who have picked her, here's a fun factoid: 

Holly Holm has never knocked out anyone in the UFC with punches.
Never.

Goose egg.

Holly Holm could not even impose her will against the ****ter version of Cyborg known as GDR (sorry germaine you're an awesome dutch chocolate kickboxer but you're not Cyborg).

Holly Holm got outpointed by Vally schevchenko who could fit in her pocket. And Schevcheno was putting leather on her all night. And Cyborg hits multiples harder than Valentina.

Holly holm last lost three of her past four fights.

Holly holm suffered one of the worst knockouts I've ever seen during her boxing career. In tens.

Holly Holm has beaten one decent fighter, and that is Ronda Rousey who was incredibly overrated.

There is nothing Holm can hurt her with. Nothing. She will try and ish-ish pixie slap her way to a UD trotting around on her pony but cyborg will walk her down, wail on her against the fence, dump her on her ass and pound her out. Holly will make it sound like a women's tennis match and cyborg will make it look like a bear attack.


If Holm somehow wins this I will consider it a bigger upset than Bisping beating Rockhold. I can't even believe I think this will last three rounds. Cyborg by annihilation in a totally lopsided punchface festival.

Justino has fought Jorina Baars who is the best kickboxer of our generation and possibly TBE female kickboxer.

Wouldn't be surprised to see Cyborg exploit Holly's ground game. Fight could turn ugly real fast for Holly if she finds herself on bottom.

Like, I seriously think that as soon as the fight hits the mat, it might very well be over.

Good point snake, I think that's another thing that people are forgetting and it's weird to see the picks so close. If Cyborg is having trouble, she has a great takedown game, and she is miles ahead of Holly not just on the ground, but in the clinch. I know I'm the resident Cyborg-hugger here but it looks to me that Holly's only way to win is somehow not get hit or grappled for 5 rounds.

Imperative, that was not MMA, though.

I don't think a good striker is what is needed to beat Cyborg but rather a really good wrestler. I don't think there are any in her division.
