Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) womens featherweight champion Cristiane Justino is so good, that even her lopsided, technical knockout wins are subject to intense scrutiny when they fail to end within the first 30 seconds. <\/p>\n
Thats probably why Coach Mike Winkeljohn believes Cyborg got exposed by Tonya Evinger at the UFC 214 pay-per-view (PPV) event last month in Anaheim, Calif., where Triple Threat managed to stay in the fight into the third round of their five-round tilt. <\/p>\n
And according to his conversation with Submission Radio, thats just not going to cut it against a fighter like Holly Holm, who continues to flip-flop between the bantamweight and featherweight divisions. <\/p>\n
His words: <\/p>\n
You know, Cris, she showed that she could do some more rounds. I wasnt sure about her conditioning after her weight cut, but theres some holes in her game, theres no doubt. I think Evinger showed a lot of that and she exposed her in many ways. I think Holly can pick her apart. Theres no doubt about that. What people dont understand is how strong Holly is too in the clinch, on her feet and moving and stuff. But yeah, Cris is really strong, but I think Holly wears her down and is able to stop her. You look at Hollys knockout percentage, I think her and Amanda Nunes are the biggest out there. She stops all of her fights, everybody else other than Cyborg. So Holly has the power to stop Cyborg just like Cyborg has the power, the difference is Hollys got speed and her footwork. <\/p>\n
Justino (18-1, 1 NC) ended 13 straight fights by way of knockout while Holm (11-3) is just 1-3 since wasting Ronda Rousey in late 2015. <\/p>\n
Now that Cyborg has claimed the vacant featherweight strap, which became available when Germaine de Randamie skipped town, the promotion will try to find a new contender for the power-punching Brazilian. <\/p>\n
Whether or not that honor goes to The Preachers Daughter, who failed to capture the crown from the aforementioned Iron Lady earlier this year, is unclear at this time, though it certainly helps that shes pretty much the only viable contender at 145 pounds. <\/p>\n
If and when Holm does land another title fight ... can she emerge victorious? <\/p>\n
