Holly Holm (10-3) no ve una.

Desde que venció a Ronda Rousey en 2015, la peleadora de Nuevo México ha acumulado tres derrotas. La última sucedió este sábado por la noche cuando Germaine de Randamie (7-3) la derrotó por decisión unánime en la función estelar de UFC 208 en Nueva York. Peor aún, el duelo era por el título de peso pluma, la nueva división en UFC en la rama femenil.

Hubo su cierta dosis de controversia debido a que la holandesa Randamie golpeó en dos ocasiones a Holm después de la campanada. El réferi decidió no deducirle puntos a la europea, lo que afectó el final de la pelea cuando se fue a las tarjetas. Holm cayó en las tres tarjetas de los jueces en el Barclays Center de Brooklyn.

Cyborg parece que ahora retará a Randamie.

En la misma función, el brasileño Anderson Silva (34-8), de 41 años, volvió al octágono y derrotó a Derek Brunson (16-5) por decisión unánime en el duelo coestelar.

Silva había perdido cuatro de sus últimas seis peleas.

En otra pelea, el también brasileño Ronaldo Souza “Jacare” (24-4) venció en un round a Tim Boetsch (20-11) por sumisión.
