Cris Cyborg vs. Gabrielle Holloway Prediction: Cris Cyborg’s Successful Boxing Debut

Cris Cyborg, the Brazilian MMA superstar, is slated to make her U.S. boxing debut on December 11th, when she takes on Gabrielle Holloway on the Terence "Bud" Crawford (38-0, 29 KOs) vs. David Avanesyan (29-3-1, 17 KOs) program at the CHI Health Center in Omaha, Neb.

Cris Cyborg

Cyborg, the current Bellator featherweight champion, was set to make her pro boxing debut in her hometown of Curitiba this past September, but her battle with Simone da Silva was labeled an exhibition when a Brazilian boxing body declined to oversee the event owing to Silva's medical suspension. Cyborg was victorious by unanimous decision.

The former UFC, Strikeforce, and Invicta FC champion hasn't competed in MMA since April, when she defeated Arlene Blencowe in five rounds in Bellator.

Gabrielle Holloway

Holloway, 6-6 in MMA, has competed as a professional boxer twice, losing both by unanimous decision in 2016. Holloway was last seen in action in September 2020, when she lost a decision to Cat Zingano at Bellator 245.
