I forgot his name but that Brazilian guy who got knocked out a couple weeks ago who was knocking everyone out, i had high hopes for him. But he has a glass chin. That shot he took was a shiver.
Holy is a good fighter, but not better than Nunes or Cyborg. Holy really needs to learn the ground game. Her next opponent at UFC225 should be an equal striker match. Megan Anderson is an Invicta FC champ with similar fighting style and will be making her promotional debut to UFC. IIRC Anderson was signed to make her debut back in UFC 214 against Cyborg but fell through with personal issues. But Anderson really wants to fight Cyborg.
I agree that Holy needs to round her game out. But she is better than Nunes. Nunes has simply overpowered everyone, last nights fight showed me that she really lacks the technical striking ability overall. Cyborg would destroy her. Cyborg and Nunes is going to happen this year, as per dana white, Nunes had to defend first against Pennington. I was not impressed at all with her performance against Pennington.
I didn't see the Pennington fight, but everything leading up to it made me feel like Nunes wasn't taking the fight very seriously. Seemed like a stat-padding fight the entire way. You give Nunes an opponent like Cyborg then I guarantee you'll see a much better fight from Nunes. She does rely on her striking ability, but doesn't shy away from the ground game. I think Nunes would destroy Holm unless Holy landed an early shot that threw Nunes off her game. But that goes with any fight. You land that early shot to set the tone and it typically results in victory.
