Which not only do I think will not happen, I think Holm might be KOd into oblivion, on the other hand Holm is technical enough to use cyborgs aggression against her BUT cyborg has a great chin which we saw when Joanna beat the shit out of her.

Anyway to the question. If Holm wins is she the GOAT? That means she will have beaten the two best to ever do it.

I do not think Holm could beat Cyborg since she was worked and taken down by someone much smaller than herself. But if she does by some miracle, and survives a rematch as well, then I think when Pennington comes back from her broken leg, Pennington will be our next 2-weight champ. Speaking as someone who believes the Pennington-Holm decision went the wrong way the first time, and that Pennington has improved more than Holm.

No. GOATs are made from years of dominance against top competition. If somebody beats one they now have started on their own path to try and become a GOAT themselves. One W over anyone including current GOATs isn't near enough.

Shows how shitty womens comp is. Just think, Holm has a chance to beat yet another considered GOAT but has pretty much shit the bed against everyone else. Imagine a guy beating the 2 best ever and losing to everyone else lol.

This. Joanna was on her way but got derailed. Ronda had a great run but hindsight says she wasn't necessarily fighting elite level girls during that run either. Someone needs to string a Fedor, GSP, Jon Jones type run together before they're considered.

The only guys I can thinking of achieving this ATM would be Fegusson if he can get the title and defend multiple times, same for Khabib, Conor if he defended. Not too many guys I can think of outside of LW, maybe Holloway with some more defenses.

This version of Rhonda beats Holmes and Nunes in the same night:

Imo Ronda went off the deep end after KOing Betch. She was a super weak opponent and Ronda got way too confident in her hands after that fight. This isn't hindsight either. O wasn't impressed at all with that fight and you could see that she was getting away from her grappling roots that got her to the top.

Anything is possible in MMA. I would be foolish to rule it out.

That said. I like both these Gals and i see this being a tough fight for both.

Cyborg is the Fedor of WMMA.

Ronda is the Royce of WMMA.

Miesha is my girlfriend.

Part of me wants to say Cyborg will win this fight with brute power and that old school Chute Boxe aggression. But the other part of me thinks that Holm will weather the storm, and out cardio Cyborg to victory.

I dunno, I don't really care which way this one goes. But I'll lean towards Holly taking home the W simply because I like her better. Although, I will admit that Holly has a tendency to not deliver in big fights (Rhonda fight excluded). Cyborg's UFC run has been annoying IMO, lots of whining and bad decisions. And the whole weight cut drug test failure thing. That seemed like a free pass for Cyborg.
