Cyborg vs Holly Holm
We observe Cyborg (-360) because she has made a profession out of destroying her opponents. Cyborg has always been among the most aggressive fighters in the business however, the prior Invicta featherweight champion has learned to harness that thanks for her time with Rafael Cordeiro. The real meat to her match is your jab, as Cyborg will relentlessly throw the jab out before an opponent feels the necessity to fire back then she will counter with rapid, fight-ending intentions.
Cyborg is a massive fighter who possesses huge strength for tough clinch conflicts — although she is also technically well served in this area as well. Her normal balance and core power produce takedown attempts typically ineffective.
Holly Holm (+270) is at her best when she can dictate the distance and pace of the struggle. The former pro boxer is great at picking away at her opponent in the distance thanks to her clean, smooth footwork. At this period,”The Preacher’s Daughter” tends to throw a steady diet of lefts and await her opportunity to counter. Although boxing was her first sport, Holm has done a great job adding kicks for her repertoire with the notorious Jackson-Wink oblique kick playing an integral part. When a fight gets dirty or she attempts to move forward, the former bantamweight champion is a great deal more hittable.
Concerning grappling, Holm is solid from the clinch and possesses great takedown defense. However, if an opponent can get Holm into the mat, she does not offer much.
Holm is the stiffest challenge Cyborg has faced since Gina Carano eight years ago. Holm has the capacity to possibly frustrate Cyborg with her movement and distance management. Finally, Cyborg’s aggressive style will neutralize these advantages.
