Former UFC champion Holly Holm’s head coach calls her “The giant killer”, and their camp is confident she’ll be a two division champion on Saturday night. Now, in footage from the UFC 219 countdown show, Holm and her team reveal that she’s knocked out men, even finished fan favorite UFC veteran Donald Cerrone in the training room.
This comparison comes out due to Cyborg’s masculine appearance, and Holm isn’t letting that sway her confidence.
The UFC released their full countdown show over the weekend on FOX Sports 1, and in it Holm stated, “People say Cyborg looks like a man. So? I’ve KO’d men in sparring before. I’ve finished Donald Cerrone.”
We’ll get to see who the baddest woman on the planet is, in just four short days.
UFC 219 goes down on Saturday, from the T-Mobile arena in Las Vegas. In the night’s main event Cris Cyborg will defend the UFC featherweight title against former bantamweight champion Holly Holm.
In the night’s co-main event, Khabib Nurmagomedov returns to action for the first time this year, against the always tough Edson Barboza.
