Right after signing with Invicta FC, Shafir told Ariel Helwani on Monday's edition of The MMA Hour that she still has to "earn" the right to fight the Invicta FC featherweight champion, but will "eventually" beat her.
Cyborg laughed at those comments.
"I think she wants attention," Cyborg told MMAFighting.com. "I’m the featherweight champion and we will absolutely meet, but first she needs to start winning and get on the line, because she only has two fights and got knocked out by Amanda Bell in 30 seconds in her last fight."
A longtime friend and training partner of UFC champion Ronda Rousey, Shafir was impressive as an amateur fighter going 5-0 with five first-round submissions.
