MMA community reacts to Cris Cyborg’s execution of Yana Kunitskaya

By Tom Taylor - March 4, 2018

Though UFC 222 was originally expected to be headlined by a men’s featherweight title fight between champ Max Holloway and challenger Frankie Edgar, a late Holloway injury meant that the card was ultimately topped by a women’s featherweight title fight between champ Cris Cyborg and challenger Yana Kunitskaya.

While Yana Kunitskaya deserves props for taking a fight with the monstrous Cyborg on short notice – and for landing a takedown early in the fight – this fight went as expected. After returning to her feet, Cyborg began to stalk her opponent like a hungry carnivore. From there, it was just a matter of time. The champ was feasting on her latest kill before the first round was over.

Unsurprisingly, Cyborg’s win over the vastly outmatched Kunitskaya, who had never fought in the UFC previously, generated some interesting reactions from the MMA community.

Here are a few of the best reactions:
