GDT: UFC 219: Cyborg vs. Holm

[MD thaivuN]

2-0 Cyborg. Holly is not landing much

 

[Jussi]

Feel like Holy is getting ready to unload the headkick.

That's Holly with two "l"s.

 

[MD thaivuN]

Holly Holm is bad at leading.

 

[Bologna 1]

This one could be over this round. After that exchange at the end of R3 just now.

 

[Neutrinos]

I'm really not impressed with Holm's boxing

As Rogan just said, she keeps lunging in with her head every time she attacks

 

[Jussi]

Cyborg messing Holly's face. More than twice as many hits than Holm.

 

[SuperScript29]

Holly's attacks are very predictable.

This is why i question the level of women's boxing that Holm's dominated. It's just too often that we see Holm getting purely outboxed in MMA. In MMA, she's borderline a bad boxer and is saved by her kickboxing skills

To be fair, MMA boxing is quite different from actual boxing.

 

[Killahpunk]

Holm did better then expected but Cyborg is in a league of her own,

 

[SuperScript29]

No one has ever taken Cyborg this far, I mean she wins and all but this was not an easy win. Kudos for Holly.

 

[Bologna 1]

Yep, exactly the case. Spot on.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

Holly's strategy in the clinch seemed to be to beat Cyborg with the power of love.

 

[TerminatorBlue]

That's Holly with two "l"s.

She's the preachers daughter lol

 

[Neutrinos]

Let's not forget, Holm moved up in weight for this fight, so she really should be given a ton of credit for going the distance

 

[zombie kopitar]

Well Cyborg looked somewhat human against a competent fighter.....still ****ed her up though lol, but Holly was respectable at least.

 

[Kitten Mittons]

Yeah Cyborg is more powerful but from a technical standpoint, it was fairly competitive.

Rousey would have literally died in the octagon if she faced Cyborg. Lucky she faced Holm.

 

[Neutrinos]

2 judges had it 48 - 47?

 

[MD thaivuN]

Cyborg was the far more properly-built counter-striker. Unlike Holm, Cyborg actually puts herself in position to counter her opponents.

 

[SuperScript29]

I wanna see Cyborg vs Nunes.

 

[m9]

About as uncompetitive a 25 minute fight that had 48-47 scorecards could be. It was close, I guess.. but never in doubt.

 

[TerminatorBlue]

They did a good job on the Miocic vs Ngannou promotional videos.

 

[MD thaivuN]

I thought the 48-47 cards were insane. No round where Holm landed more and/or landed harder/cleaner than Cyborg

 

[Jasper]

As expected.

I thought the 48-47 cards were insane. No round where Holm landed more and/or landed harder/cleaner than Cyborg

I had Holm winning the first and/or second round. That wasn't some dominant performance by Cyborg imo.

 

[Rocko604]

I think Holly was awarded rounds simply for not getting rocked or knocked down.

I don't know who fights Cyborg next, maybe that one Invicta fighter they keep talking about. But after that I don't know. She'll basically be the Gabi Garcia of the UFC.
