Bellator featherweight champion Cris Cyborg doesn’t mind calling her next shot, but Bellator president Scott Coker seems lukewarm to the idea at the moment.
After a fifth-round TKO against Leslie Smith at Bellator 259 last weekend, Cris Cyborg’s performance displayed her violent style of fighting. Following her title defense, Cyborg called out the fighting veteran and rising Bellator contender, Cat Zingano.
The 16-fight veteran transitioned to the Bellator promotion from the UFC and picked up her first win against Gabrielle Holloway in her debut last September. Then the rising featherweight solidified her standing in the division when she finished Olivia Parker by armbar just over a month ago. Cat Zingano’s armbar win was her first finish in nearly seven years.
