This should be interesting @ufc @HollyHolm is a beast tho...

— Manny Gamburyan (@MannyGamburyan) July 24, 2016

That's a hell of a corner team for Holm. #UFCChicago

Does the main event go all five rounds or no? I tend to think so. Am looking forward to it ether way #FemaleHeadliners #FuckYeah

' @HollyHolm is a jacked white girl... I guess we need to get over it

— Big Ben Rothwell (@RothwellFighter) July 24, 2016

I wouldn't want to fight either. #Holm is intense and #Shevchenko is scary. #UFCChicago

— Dan Hardy (@danhardymma) July 24, 2016

I'm going for holly head kick ko

— Randa Markos (@randamma) July 24, 2016

Holly too big and long here, although charging in negates all that. #UFCChicago

Holly is so much bigger than her!

— James Vick (@JamesVickMMA) July 24, 2016

1-1 these women r bringing it great technical fight @ufc #UFCChicago

— Truck Gordon (@TruckMMA_UFC) July 24, 2016

1-1? The weight advantage helping Holm in the clinch.....will she fade?

— Coach Kavanagh (@John_Kavanagh) July 24, 2016

What's up with this ref and his inability to see mouthpieces? #UFCChicago

— The Spartan (@EliasTheodorou) July 24, 2016

Is #HollyHolm losing right now ? #UFCChicago

— Dennis Bermudez (@MenaceBermudez) July 24, 2016

IDGAF what anyone thinks or thought about this fight. I think it's great and I am so inspired and learning so much. These women are awesome

— Lauren Murphy (@LaurenMurphyMMA) July 24, 2016

Wow why won't this ref stand it up if Sevchenka won't strike.

— Ben Askren (@Benaskren) July 24, 2016

Come on ref! You gotta stand that up #UFCChicago

The problem is none of the girls are as well rounded as me. I can wrestle, punch, and Jiu jitsu. I am an MMA fighter. #chuteboxe style

— Cris Cyborg (@criscyborg) July 24, 2016

Thought Holly would be fighting longer, with more jabs and kicks. #UFCChicago

— The Spartan (@EliasTheodorou) July 24, 2016

Schevchenko is sharp always countering. Holly is behind now so she's gonna have to take some risk. Which is dangerous against Valentina

— Daniel Cormier (@dc_mma) July 24, 2016

Win or lose , I'm a fan of schevchenko. Great striking #UFCChicago

— JIMI MANUWA (@POSTERBOYJM) July 24, 2016

Hmmm 3-1 valentina? Holm is at least 6" short with everything she throws, has the size and reach by can't seem to figure out her range.

— Coach Kavanagh (@John_Kavanagh) July 24, 2016

The way Holly yells with every strike is unnerving.

— Ben Askren (@Benaskren) July 24, 2016

I think @HollyHolm needs a finish to win @BulletValentina is just perfect with the counters @ufc #UFCChicago

— Truck Gordon (@TruckMMA_UFC) July 24, 2016

Good fight ladies! #UFCChicago

— Michael Johnson (@FollowTheMenace) July 24, 2016

Valentina a completely different level, made the former champ look very ordinary. Expected much better hands from a boxing world champion?

— Coach Kavanagh (@John_Kavanagh) July 24, 2016

What a great fight

— Randa Markos (@randamma) July 24, 2016

MAJOR UPSET! New championship contender https://t.co/Px7CMmlRsU

Ohhh MMA

— Derek Brunson (@DerekBrunson) July 24, 2016

I won the first fight with @BulletValentina by UD... if I fight her again I will beat her again, this time very clean.#UFCChicago @joerogan

— Amanda Nunes (@Amanda_Leoa) July 24, 2016

I feel she needs to prove herself a little more. I think @VenezuelanVixen vs @BulletValentina. Winner comes to me
