Holly holm shocked the MMA world in November last year by mercilessly knocking out the previously undefeated Ronda Rousey and win the UFC women's bantamweight title. However, if the fight had been between Ronda and the Brazilian Chris Cyborg, the result would not have been much different. At least that's what the former Ultimate champion guarantees Tito Ortiz.

"Chris Cyborg She is the best woman pound for pound in world MMA. Holly holm did exactly what Cyborg would do with Ronda. A Holly holm had that chance. She is a great women's champion. But Cris is one of the most brutal fighters on the planet”, said Oritz, to the North American website “MMA Fighting”.
Tito, now a Bellator athlete, also commented on the possibility of Cyborg facing Holly holm and was excited about a possible superfight between the champions. “Holm said she would come up and Cris could cut just five pounds. These five pounds would be a bit of a pain for her, but Cris is willing to do it. Just give it to the fans. That's the type of fighter Cris is, giving the fans the fights they want. That's what she wants. She’ll fight anyone, man,” she assured.
Finally, the former champion said what differentiates Cyborg from other fighters and why he considers the Brazilian to be the best in the world. “She just attacks. There is no other female fighter like her in the world. She was raised to fight. She comes from Brazil and Brazilians are the toughest fighters on the planet. She loves it. This is fun for her,” he concluded.
