Holly wants a rematch with Miesha, there's no interest in going up in weight now. When she was champ, she was open to it, but now she's just trying to get a rematch and basically do what's best for her career. She's trying to get the belt back, that's what she wants, it's the most important thing to her right now. Her main interest lies in getting the belt, trying to get a fight with Miesha, not moving up and fighting Cyborg.
People need to understand that fighters don't just accept every fight that comes their way. If any of you guys were fighters, the ones who say 'duck duck duck duck,' your career would be ruined quickly because you don't know how to make a good business decision whatsoever. This fight has very little interest for Holly's career right now, that doesn't mean it won't ever happen.
Holly would wreck Cyborg anyway. Cyborg is so damn sloppy on the feet, she'd get tagged up by Holly all night. Cyborg just moves forward and throws sloppy punches at you, she wouldn't fare well against Holly just like Ronda didn't. Moving forward like a bat out of hell and throwing wild shit doesn't work against her and that's all Cyborg knows. Her aggressiveness works against everybody else just like it did for Ronda, but it would be her undoing against Holly. Cyborg fought ONE high level striker (Jorina Baars) and she was outclassed badly. She won one round, if I remember correctly, but was dropped in practically every other one.
And it's not easy taking Holly down. We saw how much trouble Miesha had taking her down at all, Miesha has the best TD's in the division, she's the best wrestler there, and I expect people will say how Cyborg would submit her, but Cyborg hasn't submitted anybody in her entire career. Even in submission grappling, Cyborg has only one submission out of 8 matches. Cyborg doesn't try to submit anybody at all and her best TD's are when she puts you against the fence, and Holly stops TD's more effectively there and she's pretty decent at getting up. Miesha is very, very good on the ground with her control and has the best submissions in the division in terms of variety 'cause Ronda only has an armbar.
And who the hell has Cyborg even beat? she's the most overrated WMMA fighter of all time. Her best wins are Gina and Marloes Coenen, she hasn't beat anybody, she fights the easiest opponents in WMMA pretty much. Cyborg hasn't fought anybody GOOD in YEARS. So overrated. I could see Miesha and Ronda beating Cyborg too. She's not that good. She really isn't. She's so sloppy. God, how amazing it would be to see Leslie beat the brakes off her.
