Saw this on Twitter this morning. Would be an amazing fight. Most interesting is the Featherweight bout label on the poster. Is the UFC ready to get into the full time Cyborg business?

Awesome. Cris lost in a striking match against Jorina Baars who's a tall fighter. This would be an interesting match up.

But that was a KB/MT fight, not a MMA fight with grappling and clinch fighting. Or am I thinking of another fight?

No you have the right fight.

Creating a FW division would be smart of them. Can't afford to let Cyborg sign with Bellator

Yep, but its the best hope someone has to beat her. You need range and superior striking, Cyborg is scary on the ground.

UFC 208 will be held on Feb. 11th.

it apparently takes Cyborg 5 months to recover from a weight cut, if you're dumb enough to believe that.

Cyborg should just stop with the dramatics, excuses and victim mentality. It's her choice to walk around at 170+ lbs and cut down to fight smaller women. 5 months to recover from a weight cut? I'm calling bullshit on that.

I actually Think that sounds right. Don't forget what needs to be done after a weight cut. To fully be healed and ready to start again it takes a lot of time with nutrition, rest, mild exercise, proper supplementation and other things. Tack on the fact that she really really does kill herself to get that low BF. People just hate her so much they don't want to really understand what is going on.

Gotta give Holly props if true, she isn't a protected paper bag fighter like someone named rousey

The poster says Featherweight though....I doubt it's true.

This match up is one of the most intriguing they could make for Cyborg. Also, they worked together on the set of Fight Valley and became friends, so there's a storyline there. I hope this happens.

Holm might very well win this.

Cyborg's technique is not very good and a profesional striker like Holly Holm could light her up if the size difference is not too big (I'm not sure about this though)

Not if she does her "shadowboxing at long range" routine.
Love these two chicks though. Would be hard to pull for one if true.

I agree. Holly is a good counter puncher against people who rush in like Ronda did. If cyborg isn't careful she could get tagged but if cyborg touches her it's over. No one can handle that power

Add in the time it takes to recover from a cycle too!

EDIT: No unfounded PED accusations please. Thanks, Wild.
