First Holly muscling her around in the clinch, then this girl landing desperation takedowns right off the bat. She obviously hits very hard but she seems easy to clinch with and easy to take down. The problem is almost everyone she's facing is scared of her. I might actually favor Nunes in this one.
 
I still think Prime RRR could catch it in an armbar and sub it.
 
The clinch is where she is slightly vulnerable. She did get handled there in her last couple of fights.

But if you watch some of her youtube sparring vids on the ground, she actually has decent BJJ.

Gonna take someone who can chew her up in the clinch to beat her, I think. Landing tons of knees and elbows, in close.
 
Holm did fuck all against Cyborg. She did alright in the grappling exchanges but Cyborg was still the one who got better shots while in the clinch with those knees and ultimately still won a clear 50-45 decision.

Possibly. I could also see it going the way of the Nunes fight and her just walking into punches. Toss up for me.

Holm showed she could control her but did fuck all with it.
 
If Amanda could beat Cyborg it would be in the 1st two rounds, after that she would gas and Cyborg beats her.
 
the girl was rocked and just fell down accidentally allowing her to grab Cyborg for dear life. These girls are clinging on for dear life, they're not doing anything other than that :D
 
No. Every time a punch lands her opponents crumble

Its quite clear Holly doesn't train any wrestling. She backed up Cyborg against the fence and got under hooks with ease whenever she wanted to, she just didn't know what to do with them.

If Cyborg faces a wrestler with Holly's toughness i think she'll be in trouble.
 
...and nobody has beaten her.

If you are using last night as evidence you are fucking crazy. Big deal the last two girls figured out how to hug rape Cyborg and hold on for dear life for a moment. Did you see when Cris hit the girl last night? She recoiled like an atomic bomb hit in her front yard. Yeah, real beatable.

That said Nunes is a worthy matchup and has the striking to beat Cris.

entirely possible.

Although, much more so back then.

Cyborg has improved a lot since then I feel.

Back In the day she had a sort of style on the feet that could potentially leave her open to Ronda's judo / takedowns In general..which is why many people thought Ronda was a bad style matchup for her.

Of course, Cyborg could also KO / tko her but at Ronda's best that was a winnable fight for her.

That girl is a scrub though. No one even knew her name before the fight was announced.

I'm pretty sure the way to beat Cyborg is to outgrapple her. She just hasn't fought someone with the skills to do it.
 
Cyborg still looks full Bull to me a slight weakness in the clinch is not a complete stopper considering the field of fighters @FW Old age is gonna get Cyborg before any of these gals can...

Ronda is THAT woman.
 
Ronda was in a more dangerous position against Liz Carmouche than Cyborg against Holly and Yana.
 
Really thought Holly would have more to show vs. Cris. She muscled Cyborg around a bit but got her ass beat pretty much everywhere. Disappointing.

Cyborg may have some weaknesses, but there doesn't appear to be a chick alive that can capitalize on those weaknesses.
