tbh i personally think Holm is on major juice right now.
Could very well be that she is stronger than cyborg.

cyborg has lost a lot of size and holm looked bigger (And more male) than ever

I'm a little surprised Cyborg gets this much money already. 3 times Khabib money feels out of place.

Was thinking the same thing. UFC probably has brackets with some manoeuvrability. Khabib is no joke. Against Khabib you have 1 shot at KOing him but after he closes distance you are drawing dead on the ground.

I mean, from what i understand, the salary is roughly based on drawing power. I don't know for you, but more i'm excited to see Khabib fight than Cyborg. Khabib could very easily be a really strong LW champion if he stays healthy.

I would like to see Khabib vs Askren if he can get the title. That would be an awesome story line.
