Holly Holm Fires Back At Cris Cyborg Justino: I'm Tested More Than You
Holly Holm Fires Back At Cris Cyborg Justino: I'm Tested More Than You
UFC contender Holly Holm responds to Cris Cyborg's Twitter beef in a video posted to Instagram.
This is the closest thing to trash-talk we may ever hear from Holly Holm.
UFC featherweight champion Cris "Cyborg" Justino has been campaigning for a fight with the former UFC bantamweight queen Holm over the past few weeks, and she recently took things up a notch, bringing USADA into the mix.
Via Twitter, Cyborg let the world know she's been tested three times in a month -- and she wants the same, or more, for Holm.

"The Preacher's Daughter" wasn't going to just sit back and take these mortar shots, however.
No, Holm waited to fire back, then she struck with precision and grace via Instagram. In what is possibly the calmest rebuttal in human history, Holm dissected exactly why Cyborg's recent beef makes absolutely no sense.

We'll go ahead and transcribe the fire for you. Warning: there is absolutely no foul language or venom here. You may not be able to handle the politeness.
"So apparently there was a little bit of drama today because USADA went to Cyborg's house, and I know I've been a topic of interest a lot on her social media, and I don't mind fighters trying to promote and hype fights, and that's fine," Holm said. "But let's be real for a minute."
Uh-oh!
"She said she's being tested by USADA and wants me to be tested just as much, and she probably should've looked on their public records on the USADA web page and seen I've been tested nine times compared to her eight," Holm continued. "I'm in no race and I really don't care. I just know I compete clean and they test me all the time.
"I just never needed an applause for passing my tests. And in the meantime, I'll just spend my time training, and she can spend her time complaining and making false accusations and false memes *shrugs*."
FIRE!
All this just makes us want to see Holm vs. Cyborg even more now. The fight has been rumored and suggested for UFC 219 in late December, but nothing is official just yet. Still, we've got some time, and hopefully we get some more diss tracks like this one to help sell the bout when it comes to fruition.
So who won this round, FloCombatters? Let us know on Twitter, @FloCombat. We look forward to hearing from you.
