Check out Tim Burke’s play-by-play from round 2 of Cris Cyborg vs. Lina Lansberg:
Round 2 – Cyborg opened up immediately against the cage again. Lansberg just covered up, eating body kicks and punches in the grill. Lansberg is tough, but this is very one-sided. Cyborg with another takedown. Lansberg is turtling. Cyborg is relentless. Lots of blood coming from the nose, and her face is a crimson mask. Lansberg is barely defending, and she’s getting beaten to a pulp. Referee Mario Yamasaki has warned her a couple of times, but hasn’t stopped it yet. Well, now he has.
Cris Cyborg defeated Lina Lansberg by TKO (strikes), 2:29 of round 2
