December 30th brings us the eve of a new year in 2018, and it brings us one last event to mark of a memorable span of fights and finishes in the UFC organization. UFC 219 not only brings us one of the best men's lightweight contenders in Khabib Numragomedev, but provides fans with an incredible womens fight.
Holly Holm is most known for her late 2015 destruction of former all time champion Ronda Rousey. A single head kick after a round of slick counter striking put down the former legend who had never tasted defeat....and had never even been close to being finished. Holly Holm as a true contender was realized that night in Australia.
Cris Cyborg is the mixed martial arts veteran known for her deadly power and relentless aggression since the early 2000s. She has been a feared woman her whole career, and she has been avoided to say the least. Cyborg in the UFC is still unbeknownst to most 'mma' fans, and that is a true shame.
The women's featherweight division was in essence but for this woman, and at 145 pounds there isn't another girl who can match her strength and the lethality of her skills. The boxing she has worked with gold medalist Claressa Shields has made her an even more frightening beast than she was before.
The combination of hand speed, patience, muscle structure and a ferocity she was born with make Cris without a doubt the most dangerous woman on Earth. A muay thai expert with a black belt in jiu jitsu, Cris is a nightmare anywhere the fight goes, and she is just about willing to go everywhere.
We should expect to see fireworks in this 5 round main event, and I would bet my life savings we won't need the judges observations to count for the fight...this one will end before the final bell. Cyborg doesn't know how not to finish, but Holly is a very dangerous woman herself...we will just have to wait to see how this incredible fight unfolds.
