Ultimate released the official behind-the-scenes video of UFC 219, held last Saturday (30). In the images, family members of Chris Cyborg e Holly holm, who faced each other in the main fight, appear celebrating and regretting the result, respectively. The Brazilian, however, is also caught talking to her coaches about a possible fight with her compatriot Amanda nunes and says he thinks Holm was “tougher” than a fight with the bantamweight champion would be.

First, Cyborg talks to Jason Parillo, boxing coach, and reveals that he spoke to the press that he would like to avoid a duel between Brazilians, but that he wouldn't run away if the UFC and Amanda herself wanted that. After, Tito Ortiz, who trained in wrestling with the champion, comments that she doesn't think the “Lione” will want to face her student after UFC 219. And then, Cyborg admits that she thinks Holly is “tougher” than Nunes.
“I told them. I wouldn’t want to face another Brazilian, but if the UFC wants, if Amanda herself wants, we’ll fight (…) I really think Holly is tougher than her”, commented the Brazilian backstage.
Another striking scene in the video is the Russian's outburst Khabib Nurmagomedov in conversation with Dana White shortly after the victory over Edson Barboza. Still in the octagon, the Russian tells his boss that he has his pregnant wife and that, even so, he was away from her for months to prepare for this fight.
