I enjoyed the card overall....scariest thing about Khabib is he made weight with no issue and still looked like a robot lol, I think the only one right now that could maybe beat him is El Cucuy but he should not have to defend the IC belt  like you said @justme.

Also agree Holly just joined the MMA game too late, she was in the right gym since 17 years old but MMA was not her focus until recent.......and that sad part is she was the first one who actually had the strength to woman-handle Cyborg in the clinch whenever she wanted but she had no tools (JackWink where's the knees????? ) yes Cyborg hits harder but Holly is more powerful overall due to core strength.....it really showed me had she trained wrestling/grappling she had great potential there too but like @justme said she has run out of time but what a woman, class act with a heart of a lion you will never find a better role model.

@NYA......I know you have good boxing insight and we have dicussed Holly's leg weight but even with her style from observation in the fight my thougts were Holly was actually finding good success with her entry strikes jabs and straights.......then when she threw them and got close she just scramnbled a bit and went into safety clinch mode right away over and over.......I know conventional strategy would be not to stand in the pocket with Cyborg even for a second BUT I thought there were multiple times where Holly tagged Cyborg on entry and could have followed up with some pocket hooks (maybe to body and head) or even knees before clinching/escaping rather than defaulting to I am going to throw and clinch every time......I know it is much riskier but I think she missed some windows there.....would like your thoughts I think her strategy was great to add the clinch escape BUT a little too rigid on this front and they should have given her the green light to use instinct in the pocket rather than tag and clinch which although much safer will never beat Cyborg....
