When Cris “ Cyborg” Justino signed to Bellator, there was much fanfare and there were even more questions; her run in the Ultimate Fighting Championship was fairly successful, going 6-1 overall and 4-1 as a Featherweight. As successful as her time had been we had seen some decline in Justino, in her last 3 fights she had two decision wins over Holly Holm & Felicia Spencer. One sided yes, but not nearly as dynamic or destructive as we have seen in previous incantations in every organisation she had competed in; on top of that Cyborg had been dropped and brutally dispatched in one round by current UFC Double Champ and current P4P entrant Amanda Nunes.

So now the question was what did Cyborg have left, would she show further decline or would she come into Bellator and experience a resurgence, returning to form not just winning fights, dominating fights; but FINISHING FIGHTS. After two big wins where Cyborg has looked untouchable, Scott Coker needs a fight that can whet the appetite of casual fans, a fight where we can see her challenged in ways that could lead to wins or at the worst provide a competitive fight. Today i am going to discuss the one fight that makes the most sense, and that’s’ a fight with Bellator veteran Sinead Kavanagh; i am going to explore why this fight works for both Cyborg, Kavanagh and Bellator
