For the first Bellator event in Brazil, Cris Cyborg challenges Cat Zingano

Cyborg has stated that she would like to face Cat Zingano if she is given the opportunity to compete in the main event. Cris says in an interview with Ag Fight that Cat Zingano has been avoiding this fight, but the Brazilian thinks now is the time to finally make it happen.

“I heard that Bellator wants to go to Brazil. Do you want a better main event that Cyborg vs. Zingano. It’s going to be awesome. It’s going to be there. All that there’s left to do is Zingano signing the contract. She keeps ducking me. Come on, let’s make this fight happen in Brazil.”

Cyborg (26-2-1 NC) has won six in a row, most recently a unanimous decision victory over Arlene Blencowe. Earlier, the 37-year-old had beaten Sinead Kavanagh, Leslie Smith, Blencowe once more, Julia Budd, and Felicia Spencer. Her most recent loss came in December 2018 when Amanda Nunes finished her off in the first round.
