Megan Anderson Calls Out Cris Cyborg After UFC 222
Cris
Cyborg was at her devastating best again over the weekend at
UFC
222 with a first-round stoppage against former
Invicta Fighting Championships bantamweight champion Yana
Kunitskaya. The win further cemented Cyborg’s place as the best
and most feared female fighter on the planet.
It seems finding a suitable opponent in the Octagon for Cyborg has always been challenging for Ultimate Fighting Championship matchmakers, especially after the Brazilian puts on a performance like she did this weekend.
That didn’t stop former Invicta FC featherweight champion Megan
Anderson from calling next. The 28-year-old Australian reached
out to Cyborg via Twitter after the fight:

That fight seems to be locked in after Dana White officially went on record stating it’s next. Nunes faces Raquel Pennington at UFC 224.
Anderson had been scheduled to make her Octagon debut against Cyborg at UFC 214 on July 29, 2017. However, she pulled out of the bout citing "personal issues" and Cyborg went on to face the veteran Tonya Evinger instead.
