Holm wasn't exactly ducking her. It was a money issue. She's been making noise to try to make that fight happen for a while now. This is comfortably the most interest I have had in a Cyborg fight in a long time. Holm may be 1-3 but she's a legit challenger that makes for an interesting fight, when was the last time you could say that for a Cyborg fight? Also whiule 1-3 two of those losses were Germaine (a debatable decision) and Miesha (she dominated that fight and threw it away in the fifth round), hardly like she's been getting busted up in her three losses. This is the first proper test for Cyborg in a long time, I'm excited.
I think the issue they've had is they've been stacking a lot of cards recently and it doesn't seem they quite planned for this one in advance. In fairness, people are always complaining that other fighters should get a shot to make a name. Can't say I'm looking forward to Woodley/Diaz if it happens though, I can see Woodley comfortably winning that fight. Condit/Magney has flown under the radar though, really nice fight. Khabib on the card too (if he makes it). Shame Cruz got injured. Some very nice fights so far, maybe they pull it one final surprise for the main event.
