Have you heard of UFC 222 PPV headliner Yana Kunitskaya prior to today?

 

[imbossing]

Who?

 

[AC1D1K]

sans

 

[FrontNakedChoke]

I can honestly say I've never heard of her until today.

 

[LittleSmokey]

Who the fook is that guy?

 

[Sakuraba7]

Headlining a PPV and possibly even getting PPV points on your debut, ain't that the dream.

Meanwhile you have seasoned veterans and prospects fighting on Fight Pass prelims barely getting a look.

 

[GOD...frey Jones]

And you'll never hear of her again after UFC 222.

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

I watch a lot of combat sports.... and no. Now I must use Google. Sounds like another squash match for Cyborg.

 

[JayPettryMMA]

Absolutely. She armbarred Evinger for the belt, then that was reversed due to ref interference, then she had the rematch and Evinger tapped her out. She beat the Hawaiian girl, Palaluhi or something, to get the vacant belt after Evinger left to get smoked by Cyborg.

Invicta all day.

 

[Soul On Ice]

Imagine paying enough attention to WMMA to know who that is

 

[Sonny Qc]

Cyborg is fighting more cans than Fedor....

This post gives me even less hope for her than I had before.

 

[MMA_enthusiast]

Yeah lol, i was researching Tonya Evinger's credentials (shamed to admit this) prior to her cyborg fight

 

[Sakuraba7]

And you'll never hear of her again after UFC 222.

They'll bring in another no-name for Cyborg's next title defense. Then the rematch with Yana, then the rematch with the other no-name. Its a STACKED division. WMMA is selling out like hotcakes.

Imagine paying enough attention to WMMA to know who that is

 

[FlyingDeathKick]

3 say yes 25 say no lol. That explains why so many people are picking her to win on the other poll, they have no idea who she is.

 

[FrontNakedChoke]

Invicta all day.

 

[ralphus1]

Sad that Cyborg is so dominant that there is essentially no competition left except for some Ivan Drago chick nobody's ever heard of.

GDR chose to be stripped of her title rather than fight Cyborg. Might as well bring in Fallon Fox next.

 

[JayPettryMMA]

I do want to look at fighters making their UFC debut and fighting for a belt, that's a stat worth noting. Evinger, Soto, Esparza, and Montano immediately come to mind and I'm sure there are others, like Rousey and Carmouche. Pettis should have gotten a shot at the LW belt after the WEC merged.

 

[Eater of Souls]

Yes, but that does not stop this from being yet another joke of a Cyborg fight. And she was just crying about "wanting to fight a legit 145 lbs. woman."

No integrity, no honor and no shame.
