One thing that last Saturday’s UFC 219 event taught us, is that Cris Cyborg can take a hit to the face. Unfortunately though, for Holly Holm, the biggest shot the UFC featherweight champion took came from her coach Jason Parillo, backstage before the fight.
In this shocking new clip that’s jut made it’s way on-line, and already pulling massive viewer numbers, we see and hear just how hard Cyborg’s boxing coach hit her in the face prior to her main event.
This is one of those clips, that you need to watch with the volume up… And the louder the better. It’s so loud that you can feel the Stockton slap on your own chin.
This is no exaggeration.

Cris Cyborg, despite losing the first two rounds on the judges scorecards, was able to come back in rounds 3-5 and retain her UFC featherweight title against Holly Holm.
In the aftermath of the bout, she is refusing to fight Dana White’s next pick in Amanda Nunes, and wants the UFC to sign more legit featherweights to fight.
Cyborg has a list of hand picked contenders she wants to fight next, and demands her next opponent have a win in the last 12 months in her division.
It’s putting the UFC in a weird spot, because Cyborg likely can’t sell a fight on her own accord, and the proposed Nunes fight has serious dollars written all over it.
While we wait for the UFC and Cris Cyborg to decide what’s next, at least we have this video, both her fans and even her haters can appreciate.
You’re welcome!
