If Cris “Cyborg” Justino fights at UFC 214 in July, it won’t be against Cat Zingano.
But make no mistake about it, Zingano wants Justino next.
“Both the UFC and (her manager) Ed (Soares) want me to handle some health and personal things before I go into a fight like this,” Zingano told MMAFighting.com on Thursday evening. “As always, I think I can beat her right now, but if there is a more optimal level I can preform at, we all want me to reach that level. I think we all know I am the only one that can potentially take this chick any day anytime, when I'm 100 percent healthy and happy.
“But don't worry, it's coming, and I want it. The cool part is the UFC is supporting me in making the best decision and getting me to my highest level of health through the new treatment facility and staff there. I feel grateful for them looking out. I feel like they may be trying to make some changes, and I'm excited to be a part of the growth and evolution of fighter consideration.”
