Holly's going through the change of life

[@LJ-MMA]

Thiago fought Jones, now his wife fighting Jon's side piece 🤣

[@boogyjuggy]

lolllllllll

[@bhbluebird]

Nice to see Foxy back.

[@atvbass10]

Hard to believe Holm signed a six fight deal at her age. Probably a terrible idea.

[@watchmanonthewall14]

The division is so shallow that UFC needs an extra body at this point.

[@Tyrannosaurus_5000]

Holly won

[@atvbass10]

@@Tyrannosaurus_5000 I saw that, I’m glad. I’m hoping she can get a few more wins and retire in a good position.

[@Sourcepowa]

Yana ♡

[@casuallevelexpert3112]

I hardly recognize her at first glance…not sure what it is but she looks different

[@tyrocyr]

True, but you ain’t beating her.. 👏🏼💯

[@JM-bx2vg]

She's 41 and looked her age in her last, she did win but will probably be much weaker now, I can see yana ragdolling her and winning on points for sure, holly doesn't have the ko power she used to have so doesn't have enough to stop yana from walking her down and clinching her to death lool

[@eliotquintana9802]

She talked next fight scheduled ufc

[@millieatr]

She reminds me of that blond in the old Clint Eastwood movie " Hangem High" i think

[@devtastic9394]

A woman with a lot of holes coming off a pregnancy vs a 43 year old who has been reduced to pushing people against the cage. Not a bettable fight lol.

[@gowatchufc8635]

Because you don't know how to bet. Stay out the way 🤡

[@JM-bx2vg]

Yana will win this, holly to weak now to stop her from clinching her to death and winning on points via clinch time, its a somewhat clear bet but ufc unpredictable so I hear what you are saying lool

[@pokemonovice9758]

@@JM-bx2vg Yana won't win. Holly is strong enough to win some clinch exchanges and she has better movement and better kicks than Kunitskaya. Holly by decision

[@JM-bx2vg]

@@pokemonovice9758 Nah holly is weak now and will be much weaker than her last fight tbh, she very old and isn't a grappler she just resorts to it because she is too old and weak to fight her usual boxing style and be effective, they purposely found her an opponent that can beat her at the current style she uses, yana strongest asset is her clinch game Holmes beat viera like this and got robbed and now they are trying to further discouraging her by purposely giving her a style heavy to the one she currently using, or maybe trying to make up for the robbery by giving her an opponent who will fight her with such a style but I think its the opposite

[@rams812]

I mean.. the over/under? What are the odds lol

[@termsofusepolice]

Thank God no one asked her about her brother George. That guy has badly humiliated their entire family.

[@thatswhatithought6519]

What happened

[@Milburt]

@@thatswhatithought6519he’s trolling

[@TonyVega123]

YOU WILL DESTROY HER YANA!!!! I HAVE FULL BELIEF. SHE IS 47 YEARS OLD. THERE IS NO WAY HOLLY CAN WIN. YOU ARE THE BEST YANA. YOU ARE THE GREATEST!!!!

[@psychopaul508]

Calm down bro she isn't going to shag you

[@kevinlewis8162]

try to think without your penis, sir.....

[@mattimous]

She is not 47 🤦🏽‍♂️ She's 41.

[@JM-bx2vg]

47 looool

[@JM-bx2vg]

@@mattimous that's still very old for any fighter especially a female one, very winnable fight for yana tbh

[@bondjames4053]

Got this easy 😊

[@mikeross111]

Holly looked so slow last time out. Her punches were moving in slow motion. She'll probably still win because she was just hold her for 3 rounds.

[@JM-bx2vg]

Clinching wins you fights not a foward fighting video game its called mma where grappling/wrestling makes up for half the sport and was built of grapplers lool, she holds her for 3 rds that's a yana win or holly holm robbery. 3 rds of clinch time is complete domination tbh

Is this yana kunitskaya im so confused is it the same person cause I cant tell any difference im not being mean someone help please. Did she get married as that would explain it to me ha. She seems better in the ufc for some reason?

[@lawrenceking23878]

Yes, it’s her. She got married and changed her last name to Santos

[@thatswhatithought6519]

She married Thiago Santos

She won't beat holly

[@JM-bx2vg]

Holly not holly anymore she probably will beat her

[@iggyplayhouse3062]

holly has a way bigger platform than cryborg. lol holly is definitely the biggest name.

[@AirCineFc]

Кунитская никакая так же как и холм😂

[@jonde4445]

😂they’re both coming off losses and Holly has been irrelevant for years

[@alpe6228]

both should retire,especially holly.Boy is she boring nowadays,all she does is hugging poeple against the fence and wait for the time to runout.

[@JM-bx2vg]

@@alpe6228 She too old and weak to fight like how she used too speed, power timing cardio not there anymore, ufc just giving her pressure grapplers now knowing she will struggle to hold her own against strong ones like yana
