Cris Cyborg says she’ll 'beat' Ronda Rousey with a win over Holly Holm at UFC 219

Cris Cyborg will defend the UFC featherweight championship against Holly Holm at UFC 219, but she feels that a win on Dec. 30 will also mean that she has beaten Ronda Rousey.

Rousey was knocked out by Holm back in 2015. At that time, a superfight between “Rowdy" and Cyborg was one of the biggest fights the UFC could put on. Years have passed since, and Rousey is likely never coming back to the Octagon, but Cyborg feels that a win over “The Preacher’s Daughter” validates the Rousey debate with simple MMA math.
