For the first time in her 13-year MMA career, Cris Cyborg found an opponent who could push her into a fifth round. But for Holly Holm, that wasn’t enough.

In a back-and-forth fight, Cyborg defeated Holm to successfully defend her UFC featherweight title via competitive unanimous decision Saturday night in the main event of UFC 219. The performance topped off a year-end card that also saw Khabib Nurmagomedov score a scarily dominant win over Edson Barboza and reestablish his place among the world’s best at 155 pounds. Check out reaction to UFC 219 below.

It’s not only @TeamKhabib grappling, but also his G&P that might be some of the best in the @Ufc! — Alan Jouban (@AlanJouban) December 31, 2017

Barboza needs a safety word #ufc219 — Belal muhammad (@bullyb170) December 31, 2017

NEIL MAGNY DEF. CARLOS CONDIT

Condit looks unmotivated #UFC219 — Belal muhammad (@bullyb170) December 31, 2017

I’ve trained with Neil Magney. His top pressure is very good and he is really rising to the occasion — James Moontasri (@jmoontasri) December 31, 2017

The problem with grappling with Magny is that his arms are just so damn long and can punch you from anywhere! #ufc219 pic.twitter.com/ZINb3TW7WR — The Spartan (@EliasTheodorou) December 31, 2017

Magny made that fight what it had to be for him to win. Not so entertaining but nice to see Condit back in there. Hopefully comes back again soon #ufc219 — Damien Brown (@beatdown155) December 31, 2017

Just cashed on Magney! #Vickspicks — James Vick (@JamesVickMMA) December 31, 2017
