    It was closely contested. How was that disappointing?

    Holm's face has been rearranged like modeling clay. You could put her on display in a museum to show how Neanderthal women looked.

    Far too Generous to Holm. That's a fight where video anlaysis won't show Holm winning any round.

    Not sure I know what you mean? I don't really convene in MMA fan circles, and therefore don't really know what they where chirping about this one in the lead-up, but Holm is pretty well respected across the combat sports world. I'm not sure who saw her as just a lamb to slaughter here or set the expectation that her making it competitive ought to make one "disappointed" in Cyborg?

    Is Cyborg an illuminati tranny,don’t see any child bearing hips on her at all?

    This was awesome! I thought it would be a total destruction and Holm pulled through to the end.
    Cybrog showed that she is a beast still, Holm proved that she is the real deal.
    They both made my dick hard as calculus. Great night.

    Dunno I really don't watch much MMA either but I was under the impression from the MMA world that Holly was on the way out and Cyborg would brutalise her.

    Stipe looks like he has got very short arms. Not as bad as Artem though.

    I'm not sure about her being on the way out. She put on a good performance in her last fight, at her "native" (in MMA) weight, down at bantam. Before that she had already lost her debut when she dipped her toes in the water @ featherweight. So of course going up against the very large and physically strong monster of a featherweight in Cyborg, she was climbing uphill. No reason she can't drop back down to bantam and maybe challenge Nunes to reclaim the belt. UTF, other MMA people - would you agree?
