Ortiz: 'Vicious' Cyborg would have beat Rousey just as bad as Holm did

Tito Ortiz believes that Cristiane Justino would have beaten Ronda Rousey just as impressively as Holly Holm.

Holly Holm put on an almost flawless performance against Ronda Rousey at UFC 193. But, former UFC light heavyweight champion Tito Ortiz believes his teammate Cris Cyborg -- real name Cristiane Justino -- would have fared just as well against "Rowdy".

Holm, a multiple-time world boxing champion, entered the Octagon against Rousey as a massive underdog but left with the women's bantamweight title wrapped around her waist. "The Preacher's Daughter" out-manoeuvred Rousey with superior footwork and countered the Olympian's bull rushing attacks with a series of 1-2 combinations.
