The last fight of Cris Cyborg’s current contract will be against one of the featherweight division’s fastest rising prospects.
Officials announced Friday that Cyborg will fight the undefeated Felicia Spencer at in a 145-pound bout at UFC 240 on July 27 at Rogers Place in Edmonton, Alberta. A former featherweight champion in the UFC, Invicta FC, and Strikeforce, this will only be Cyborg’s fourth non-title fight since August 2009.
Cyborg (20-2, 1 NC) has won 20 of her last 21 fights (excluding one no contest), though she is coming off of a 51-second KO loss to Amanda Nunes that cost her a UFC belt.
