Former UFC champion Cris Cyborg came out and trolled ESPN’s stalwart Stephen A. Smith over his boxing skill and technique. The video grab came out a while ago and saw Stephen A. engaged in some comprehensive pad work. Chiefly, Cyborg wasn’t too impressed with the ESPN analyst’s form and made sure to let her feelings on the matter be known.

The video grab has made its rounds on social media plenty of times and it’s now resurfaced thanks to Cris. Bypassing Cris Cyborg’s skillset in the realm of striking, it’s safe to say Stephen A’s skills are rudimentary. The post was actually a clap back to Stephen A. as Cris made sure to include an article that had some scathing comments made by Smith.

Cris Cyborg and Amanda Nunes: An overview

The Brazilian fighter was looked at as the women’s MMA GOAT and her case for being the best was comprehensive. However, ‘The Lioness’ came in and demolished a laundry list of giants in women’s MMA and swiped that tag for herself. She’s scalped wins over pioneers like Ronda Rousey, Miesha Tate, and Cris Cyborg, to name a few.

Furthermore, she’s certainly shown no signs of going easy on the newer breed of contenders who may creep up. Her dominance across two weight classes speaks for itself, even though the 145-pound division is quite shallow. The contenders who work their way up to her end up coming to terms with a completely shut-down performance.

Nunes returns at UFC 259 to fight Megan Anderson in what promises to be an exciting fight. The two were supposed to face at UFC 256 in December, however, the fight simply didn’t pan out that way. With more time to prepare, both women feel they will be able to execute their respective game plans in a comprehensive fashion.

While Cyborg remains one of the very best to do it, her TKO loss to Nunes sticks out like a sore thumb on her record. Her claim towards being the all-time greatest diminished greatly following her loss to Amanda. However, Cris Cyborg still holds the roost over at Bellator and has lofty levels of success in that organization. Given her track record, she may finish off her career never suffering another loss again.
