It took Cris Cyborg just 3:25 to make her second defense of her women's featherweight title. She survived an early takedown from challenger Yana Kunitskaya and then unloaded with strikes, getting her hand raised in Vegas for the second time in December. Fellow fighters took to Twitter to praise the most dominant female fighter in MMA history.

Yana is holding on for dear life... I would too. #ufc222

I want to see Cyborg fight an actual 145er next. And her name is @MeganA_mma. #ufc222 https://t.co/2yhoGoYvhz
