UFC 219

eagle eye

I expect to be in bed inside five minutes, think it'll last 90 seconds max.

Cyborg by ko obv.

TheChosenOne_

Khabib is great. But I seen enough in his fight with Michael Johnson to say that McGregor would KO him. Barboza was terrified of him and never went for it. I just pray that the two of them will fight in 2018 because it would be insane

Poor Holly has to withstand the early barrage here I think to stand a chance. Shes gonna need some excellent footwork here.

She's well able for it. Tough as hell.

If it's Cyborg she won't want it.

Cyborg to come forward at Holm (who will obviously try to play the distance striking game all night) and eventually catch her.

I can see this one finishing with Cyborg teeing off on Holly backing her up against the cage.

:( I wont a holm win but its the heart calling for it

Holly is the blueprint to beat Cyborg.

She’s about to shock the world for a second time.

I think Cyborg wins by TKO here but not until the later rounds, Holly is being severely underrated by some p. I don’t see a way for her to win but it’s not going to be a quick KO or a landslide by any means, she’ll be somewhat competitive IMO.

Wonder will we get the patient Cyborg like the last fight or will she come swinging

He'd on his back as quickly as he was against Mendes but he wouldn't be getting up.

Khabib via Decision

Holly looks like she has the skills but dunno if she has the power to keep Cyborg off her long enough to grind out a decision. Cyborg is being much more patient than I expected.

Barboza via Submission

Holly seems to be just as strong as cyborg. Could keep it from.going to the mat if she keeps her against cage in clinch.

Boring so far but well hone Holly gor not getting caught.

Holly's making Cyborg tire and get frustrated, I like this gameplan.

If this gets to championship rounds, I like Holly's chances more and more.

Still one shot will end this so thats a big IF.

EagererBeaver

Khabib via Decision

Think Holm needs to move away from this clinch tactic she's been using so far. Cyborg starting to find room for knees when clinched up inside against the cage.

Takedown for cyborg incoming i think

Holm wearing her down with clinch

I wouldn't say Khabibs jiu jitsu is as good as Tonys.

Tony only got his blackbelt last month for a reason. He jiu jitsu is good, but overrated in general.

Subcomandante Marcos wrote: »

He's a NAGA dual world champion. Tony isn't at that level.

I agree Khabib is better. But that has nothing to do with his Naga titles.
A naga world championships aren't a high level event. I just checked this years results, LW and WW divisions (the most competitive) were won by two purple belts. Tony would pick up a naga title easy imo. As would most.

Jesus holly is tough. But She's out of ideas.

Needs to try something else

All the big shots coming from cyborg now and Holm really struggling with her range.

Holly getting very predictable now.

The lack of diversity is gonna bite Holly again. She seems to be quite predictable at times.

Holly telegraphs her own strikes all by herself. She exhales before she even throws, it's no surprise that Cyborg can dodge them all when she's basically telling her when she's going to strike.

No chance of winning but would like to see Holly go the distance.

Its ****ing irritating

ricero

Khabib via Submission

Impressed with cyborg not being overly aggressive and staying calm. Holly is one tough girl but would like her to drop back down now and make a run at the bantemweight title again.

EagererBeaver

Khabib via Decision

I'd say the UFC got exactly what they wanted there - Cyborg still the unbeatable monster but a more than competent showing from Holm that would justify them giving her a shot at Nunes after a few wins at 135.

48-47, FFS. :pac::rolleyes:

Barboza via Submission

Those score cards flattered Holly a lot.

Fromvert

The only round I thought was close enough to argue about, was the first. Holly was game though, Cyborg just better.

Fromvert

Would prefer to see Nunes move up and take a shot at Cyborg than Anderson getting it.

Barboza via Submission

As a Conor fanboy and Khabib hater, I think Conor retires or fights Diaz/gsp/boxer and avoids Khabib completely. That man is a relentless animal. Conor could even get a fight in spring against Tony, say he defended and retire then but if he is really about trying to challenge himself and look for the big fights, then there is no bigger than Khabib. Must feel ****ing awful having him on top of you.

Holly is tough out, sickened for her.

She even telegraphs when it's going to be a combo by doing multiple grunts.

Khabib destroys Conor if it happens.

No interest in the main event. I like Holly but Cris is 50% man at this stage. A mockery of a fight. A juiced up freak who belongs in the circus. Didnt watch it and wont be watching the repeat. Id rather watch WWE or the bearded lady or something. She shouldnt be anywhere near an octagon.

He referred to the juicing, so I guess that.

Cyborg is one of the best P4P fighters on the planet but like all drug cheats, there will always be an asterisk beside her.

Nothing to bite about. Shes a GH/anabolic steroid modified mess. Clearly. She belongs in traveling freak show. Where children point and cry.

Holly is one of the greatest fighters of all time, across all disciplines and she has a loss against her now because some woman has been taking growth hormone for 15 years.

Holly is bang average. Lost 3 on the spin after beating rousey. Back to bed you loon.

She popped once, and hasn't since. I think she's been clean since.
Granted she still has that mark on her record but I reckon that'll be the only one.
What she is, is dominant.
I've actually warmed to cyborg lately, she seems likeable enough, and just wants recognition for being a beast at what she does.

As for Holly being one of the greatest of all times.. No

EagererBeaver

Khabib via Decision

I must keep an eye on how Rogan gets on towards Cyborg over the next while. Before Holm head kicked Rousey into oblivion, his attitude to her was "stop doing horse steroids and cut the weight" to make a fight happen with Rousey. I suspect he'll be very much fawning over her given she's probably one of the most intriguing and popular fighters on the roster at this stage.

Cant think of another female fighter with a record like her. 38-2 in boxing, 11-1 in kickboxing and 15-4 in MMA. Shes 36 years old, hence the recent losses. Incredible career.

FFS lads. Look at her!! Shes been taking GH for years. We dont need USADA to tell us that. A joke every time shes fights. A disgrace to the sport. WWE has more legit credibility than last night.
