UFC women’s featherweight champion Cris Cyborg demolished Yana Kunitskaya in the UFC 222 main event on Saturday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas to retain her belt. Following the Brazilian’s first-round finish, fighters reacted to the win via Twitter.
There was a ton of praise for Cyborg, although that’s nothing new, just as her blistering finish of Kunitskaya was nothing new. Cyborg is widely regarded as the top female fighter on the planet for a reason… she wins consistently, and she wins big.
She’s AMAZING @criscyborg Parabems!! #UFC222 #CyborgNation ??

Yana got punched in the gut then ankle picked her. Put that on @flowrestling “Behind the Dirt.”

Such a big mismatch. I felt wrong just watching that.
Short notice.
Went up a weight class.
