Cris Justine Cyborg defeated Invicta bantamweight champion Tonya Evinger and is now the new UFC Women’s Featherweight Champion.
Tonya Evinger did an impressive job expecially in the first round. She took Cyborg down two times after they were clinching. She deserves every credit she can get as she was eating some hard punches and kicks but managed to stay on her feet.
It the third round Tonya went down with a head kick, playing open ground but Cyborg wasn’t going to the ground and referee got Tonya up.
Soon after that Cyborg hit her in the head with a knee and she fell down on her knees forcing referee to stop the fight.
OH @CrisCyborg letting the hands go early!!! On to round 2!! #UFC214 pic.twitter.com/83Ceo1axND
