Some sort of hydraluic fluid is now running from Cyborg's face. #ufc219

Cyborg won that last one. She’s coming on strong now. Holly needs to kick more #ufc219

Holly was winning in the clinches and scoring while running. Cyborg didn’t land much first two rounds. Tables turning now

I got 4-0 for @criscyborg! Cyborg is framing with her left hand when Holly blitzes then countering with her right. Smart!

Great job from Cyborg. Is there any real opposition for her at 145? Or will she be like MM at 125? Cream crackered here so peace out #UFC219 pic.twitter.com/Y1JiPauDsv
