UFC 222 video: Motivated Cyborg bests BJ Penn on the mat

Saturday night’s UFC 222 may have gone through a major main event change when Max Holloway had to pull out of his fight with Frankie Edgar, but the replacement contest, Cris Cyborg vs. Yana Kunitskaya, still carries plenty of fan interest as fight night draws closer. While the 32-year-old women’s featherweight champion has demonstrated her ability to be a solid pay-per-view draw in past events when the shows have also featured other big names or title fights, this card could serve as a litmus test, of sorts, to determine that drawing power based almost solely on her name value alone.
