If Cris Cyborg has her way, she’ll be defending her UFC Featherweight Championship in Las Vegas against Holly Holm. The newly crowed champion took to Twitter and Instagram to push for the fight to take place on the New Year’s card, UFC 219.

Yesterday, LA Times reporter Lance Pugmire tweeted that the UFC wants Cyborg to defend her title in New York City at UFC 217. Cyborg responded to this tweet, saying that she does not want to share her head coach, Jason Parillo, with Michael Bisping on fight night.
