She ‘beat Amanda Nunes’ - Cris Cyborg likes Zingano as title challenger

While the potential for a Kayla Harrison super-fight has yet to emerge, featherweight champion Cris Cyborg doesn’t plan on sitting and waiting wither her Bellator title. In fact, the Brazilian already knows who she wants to take on for her next title defense: none other than recently signed UFC veteran Cat Zingano.

In an interview with Ag Fight, Cyborg explained why she feels that Zingano would be a strong contender for her belt. Not only has Zingano scored two wins in both of her Octagon outings, but she is also the last woman to defeat UFC double champion Amanda Nunes, back in September 2014.
