Cris Cyborg makes among the tiniest turnarounds in her career when she puts her UFC featherweight championship on the line vs Yana Kunitskaya in UFC 222 on March 3. Cyborg will enter this most important event among the biggest favorites that the UFC has seen in years.
However, once you get past the lopsided main event, the rest of the main card is stacked with tough-to-call, aggressive bouts. In the time of this writing, none of the four fights on the most important card beyond the title bout has a popular bigger than -190.
Cris Cyborg vs Yana Kunitskaya
We watch Cyborg (-1600) since she has made a profession from destroying her enemies. Cyborg has ever been one of the most competitive fighters in the industry however, the featherweight champion has learned to exploit that and become much more individual. The real meat to her match is your jab, as Cyborg will throw the jab out until a competitor feels the necessity to fire back then she’ll counter with quick, fight-ending goals.
Cyborg is a huge fighter who possesses huge strength for demanding work-related conflicts, though she’s technically well served in this area too. Her natural equilibrium and core strength make takedown attempts typically unsuccessful.
Yana Kunitskaya (+800) is an unknown to many but she’s far from a beginner. The challenger has spent her entire life practicing martial arts and contains a well-versed striking repertoire thanks for her extensive training in Muay Thai and taekwondo. Kunitskaya does her very best work when she can dictate the speed and space of a struggle, working from the outside with her shouts.
In terms of grappling, Kunitskaya is solid but largely relies on her sneaky strength. The technique still has not caught up entirely, though there were noticeable improvements. If Kunitskaya can get top control on the floor, she moves well and has good ground and pound.
