The current UFC and former Strikeforce and Invicta FC featherweight champion really wants to fight undisputed women’s welterweight boxing champion Cecilia Braekhus — and she has a plan to make it happen.
Cyborg says she’ll be freed from her UFC contractual obligations following two more fights or by next March, whichever comes first. And from there, she’d like to challenge the 33-0 Braekhus.
“I want to fight boxing,” Cyborg said on Monday’s edition of The MMA Hour. “After the two fights, I want to go to fight boxing and I want the to fight the world champ Cecilia Brooks or it can be [top welterweight contender Layla] McCarter, and maybe after that I can come back for MMA.
