Cris Cyborg vs Yana Kunitskaya full fight video preview for UFC 222 main event

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is just a few hours away from its upcoming UFC 222 pay-per-view (PPV) mixed martial arts (MMA) event, locked and loaded for tonight (Sat., March 3, 2018) inside T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Cristiane Justino vs. Yana Kunitskaya is your featherweight main event.

This will mark the second title defense for “Cyborg” (19-1, 1 NC), who turned away former bantamweight champion Holly Holm in the UFC 219 main event last December. Prior to that, the former Strikeforce titleholder smashed Tonya Evinger, following a pair of catchweight wins over Lina Lansberg and Leslie Smith.

Kunitskaya (10-3, 1 NC), meanwhile, will make her Octagon debut on short notice after Max Holloway went down with injury. Her last performance came under the Invicta FC banner, where she captured a unanimous decision win over Raquel Pa’aluhi.
