Out of the Ultimate, but still eyeing his former reign, Chris Cyborg demonstrates knowledge of the qualities of Julianna Pena e Kayla harrison. When commenting on the fight that takes place between athletes this Saturday (7), in UFC 316, the Brazilian did not rule out a triumph for the bantamweight champion (up to 61,2 kg) and bet on a quick outcome to the fight.

“This fight will be over, very soon. I think Julianna Pena has everything to beat Kayla. She will defend the takedown. With the judo guys, you can take the back easier. So let's see if Julianna has the best plan for her fight. I don't think she will finish (with) a punch. You don't see the danger like that between them. But I believe that both of them are capable of maybe winning by submission, but I believe it will be a great fight. Five rounds (will be) a little war there", Cris told Blood Elbow.

Finally, the MMA legend added an observation that could make a difference in the fight.

“We’ll see who has the best cardio and who will be mentally prepared. I think that’s very important,” he concluded.
