How tough is Holly Holm?? Her eye was essentially SWOLLEN SHUT after her fight with Cris Cyborg ... and she was still all smiles!
Don't get it twisted -- Holly put up a hell of a fight against Cyborg at UFC 219 ... but the champ hit her with some huge haymakers in their 25-minute title bout.
The result is what you see here -- a MASSIVE shiner, swelling all around her face and what looks like a broken pinky.
UFC Octagon announcer Bruce Buffer shared this pic of him and Holm after the fight -- giving Holly mad props to her for being a "warrior in victory and defeat.
