imo most of hollys fights are bad but I like what she did in coming in and beating ronda, but cyborg is one of the worst fighters ive ever been subjected to. Her fights are awful, and usually the circumstances are suspect.

Hard agree.

The only thing Cyborg has going is that she's a special attraction and someone might get really hurt. Sometimes that's enough in the world of MMA. She would have been a huge star, bigger than she is now in the early days of UFC.

Like I said the only reason to bring her in was a super fight with Ronda

i agree with INRI that hollys the best opponent cyborg has ever faced. Its reasonable to think she could bicycle her way to victory. But yeah cyborgs unusual weight and strength advantage makes it kinda scary. so maybe thats about as interesting as a cyborg fight has ever been

Holly Holm has exactly the expression I'd expect from somebody who broke Ronda Rousey's streak and then proceeded to lose 75% of her fights since then.

stop the fucking fight, cornerman, your dude is fucking done and is about to be killed.
This is a very winnable fight for Holm and I hope the odds are against her because I actually think it's the more likely outcome.

I also think the person who lost her only fight in a division built specifically for Cyborg to a fighter who ducked Cyborg is the favorite against Cyborg

agreed, also we should be talking about MMA.

Bringing back Nate, if it happens, is such an obvious play to do Conor and Nate III for a belt but lol, screw it, the belts don't mean poo poo anyway, go for it.

holm vs cyborg is probably one of two fights i can think of off the top of my head that i would be interesting in seeing. versus Nunes is the other. i dont really care about her fighting de Randamie or Shevchenko or any of the other contenders at 135/145. zingano or pena maybe? but i think holm and nunes have way more of a shot than the others

How the gently caress did Gomi have 17 UFC fights? I guess I wasn't paying attention when they were shuffling out his corpse for every Japanese event.

E: he had 13 total fights, not losses. Still, gently caress.

Oops hosed up the numbers on that. Fixed now.

Edit: Yeah Gomi was just kept around for Japan fight nights. Who will take his spot? Also excited to watch his Rizin debut.

martins was quietly a pretty fun fighter + he got a win over khabilov but it's not, like, a tragedy. the rest of them are brazilian nobodies like "henrique dos dias" and "takanori gomi"

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
Five new pages who got popped?
