Following her featherweight title win at UFC 214, Cris Cyborg immediately initiated a challenge to Holly Holm for her first defence in the 145-pound division.
Now the Brazilian champion and most dominant female fighter on the planet has a date in mind for the fight. A few hour ago, Cyborg tweeted that she wants Holm at UFC 219. An event which apparently will take place in Las Vegas for New Years.
Cyborg wrote,
#CyborgNation I just called my manager @primetime360esm and told him I want to fight @hollyholm #UFC219in LAS VEGAS #CyborgVHolm if you want to see this fight New Years now is the time to send your messages to the @ufc@danawhite
Cyborg recently defeated Tonya Evinger by TKO in the third-round of the co-main event of UFC 214. She hasn’t lost in 19 bouts winning 16 of them by knockout. Holm just bounced back from a three-fight losing streak with a brutal head kick knockout over Bethe Correia.
