A smart game plan from ex-bantamweight champion Holly Holmcould not overcome the aggressive and precise attack of UFC women’s featherweight champ Cris Cyborg.
Cyborg (18-1 MMA, 3-0 UFC) showed continued evolution in waging a patient, yet persistent attack that countered Holm’s (11-3 MMA, 4-3 UFC) best weapons to take home a unanimous decision via scores of 49-46, 48-47, 48-47.
The women’s featherweight title bout was the main event of today’s UFC 219 event at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. It aired on pay-per-view following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass.
