At the end of the year, MMA fans will finally get something they’ve wanted for years: to see Cris Cyborg fight one of the best 135-pound women on the planet. Cyborg will put her women’s 145-pound title against former bantamweight champion Holly Holm, and though Holm is the most accomplished fighter Cyborg will have ever faced, most people seem to think the bout is a foregone conclusion with Cyborg already a heavy betting favorite over “The Preacher’s Daughter.” But according to the woman who dethroned Holm as bantamweight champion, “most people” have it wrong.
Speaking recently with MMA Tonight on SiriusXM Rush, former UFC 135=pound champion Miesha Tate said that she believes Holly Holm is the fighter best suited to taking out the seemingly unstoppable Cyborg.
