Holm might very well win this.

Cyborg's technique is not very good and a profesional striker like Holly Holm could light her up if the size difference is not too big (I'm not sure about this though)
Holly would win. She has better footwork and is a master at counter punching and moving. Cyborg would get clowned just like when she fought Baars.

I actually Think that sounds right. Don't forget what needs to be done after a weight cut. To fully be healed and ready to start again it takes a lot of time with nutrition, rest, mild exercise, proper supplementation and other things. Tack on the fact that she really really does kill herself to get that low BF. People just hate her so much they don't want to really understand what is going on.
lol...she cut water for the Lina fight and weighed 170 lbs on fight night...It doesn't take 5 months to rehydrate.

If this was a straight boxing or kickboxing match, I'd take Holly. But when you factor in the grappling aspect and tiny gloves, I think Cyborg is going to maul her.

Holly is not a big puncher and doesn't have the pop to keep Cyborg honest imo.

So you're saying the most feared striker of all time would be forced to panic wrestle?

Holly lights Cyborg up. Cyborg is slow. She won't catch Holly. Holly wins easily on points.

After Ronda beats Nunes you're going to be hearing a lot about her,
Your girl already stated that she wants to retire, she is done after this fight. Her stock has dropped because they built her up to be indestructible, and she couldn't bounce back from her loss. She's mentally destroyed (by many accounts.. look at her actions this last year), her Hollywood opportunities have dried up on account that she can't act, and if she didn't make it a point to act like an asshole to other fighters (male and female)/fans/media members who have critiqued her, people may actually feel bad for her.

Ronda will always be remembered for being the first WMMA superstar, she's for sure a HOF fighter, her success in the UFC paved a way for WMMA, and no one can discredit that or take it away........ but let's cut this "Ronda will be back better than ever, and will reign supreme" garbage.

At least holly has the balls to fight her unlike someone else who has been ducking and dodging for years

meh...she just swarms like a madwoman and TKOs girls that shouldn't be in there with her in the first place. did she ever KOed someone cold?
Meh? What is wrong with people seriously. Are you all that mad at her lol. Its like a joke. This chick is a fucking straight up killer. KOed someone cold? Who the hell cares. Personally I love to watch the beatings she puts on people. Girls that shouldnt be in with her? Tell that to Carano. Its not her fault there is not the craziest comp at 145. She would murk every single wmma fighter that exists easy.

I'm mad? okay...

I would have to cross the community standards in order to conclude my line of thought.

Holly could win by constantly moving and avoiding the take down, basically a Frankie Edgar game plan minus the intermittent take downs. The problem with that, as illustrated against Miesha Tate who is a smaller, less athletic, slower fighter, is that Holly can be taken down and controlled on the ground. Cyborg's BJJ is levels higher than either Holly or Miesha's.

Ronda is coming back more motivated than ever. You should ask yourself why she hasn't responded to all the criticism over the past year. It's because she's using it to fuel her comeback and keep herself focused. She's not motivated by being told nobody can beat her. She's motivated by being told she can't do something.

Other fighters have criticized her? I've noticed successful fighters such as Conor and Joanna have come out on support of her, whereas former heroin addict and current loser of 3 of his last 4 fights Matt Brown hasn't. Then you have Cyborg, who only wants to fight 125ers and 135ers while crying that Ronda doesn't want to challenge herself. Oh or Miesha Tate, who criticized Ronda's mental toughness and then proceeded to give up on her career in the middle of the octagon after a loss. Winners respect and like Ronda. Losers, quitters and frauds do not.

So keep telling yourself Ronda is done. It's mma and anything can happen but I believe she's going to win the title back and if Holly can manage to win again, Ronda will avenge that loss. After Holly, I believe Cyborg will be given 1 more chance to make weight and fight Ronda towards the end of next year. If she doesn't take the opportunity, it will go to someone else and then Ronda will retire to do movies or whatever the hell she wants to do.

UFC 208 will be held on Feb. 11th.

it apparently takes Cyborg 5 months to recover from a weight cut, if you're dumb enough to believe that.

Cyborg should just stop with the dramatics, excuses and victim mentality. It's her choice to walk around at 170+ lbs and cut down to fight smaller women. 5 months to recover from a weight cut? I'm calling bullshit on that.
She must think everyone is stupid posting things like that. 5 months goes by and she wakes up and thinks, "My body is ready". Lol
