Fight fans flocked to the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nev. on Saturday night, Dec. 30, for the Ultimate Fighting Championship’s most recent event. This time, the world’s most famous mixed martial arts promotion hosted the highly anticipated fight card of UFC 219 for the hoard of excited fight fans. Headlining the event, UFC featherweight champion Cris Cyborg put on yet another victorious performance. Cyborg’s mother was present for daughter’s big title defense, having been caught on camera in a short clip that the champion has decided to bring to light.
For the fight, Cyborg went toe-to-toe with former UFC bantamweight champion Holly Holm in a brutal octagon war that would end up going the distance.
After 25 minutes of punishing back and forth striking with the boxing phenom, Cyborg walked away with a unanimous decision victory over her opponent. Now Cyborg has taken to social media to share a short video of her mother cheering her on at the event.
Over Instagram, Cyborg stated “How #CyborgNation is feeling this New Years! I’m so happy! I’m really happy! Look my heart! I’m really happy! #mom” In the Instagram post below, it can be seen that Cyborg appears to have taken a serious likeness to her mother’s looks.
