After UFC 214, Cat Zingano believes Cris Cyborg is a ‘winnable’ matchup: ‘That fight opened up my eyes’

Cat Zingano believes she has the what it takes to accomplish what many women have failed to do in MMA – defeat Cris Cyborg.

After watching UFC 214 cageside, former UFC title challenger Zingano is confident she has the tools and answers to snap Cyborg’s 18-fight win streak. Cyborg, who’s considered by many to be the best pound-for-pound female fighter on the planet, won the women’s UFC featherweight title in the main card of last week’s UFC pay-per-view event in Anaheim, Calif. The Brazilian fighter added another stoppage victory to her impressive record, putting away former Invicta FC bantamweight champ Tonya Evinger in the third round, thus winning the vacant title.
