...And exhale.
The UFC has booked women’s featherweight champion Cris Cyborg vs. newcomer — and former Invicta FC bantamweight titleholder — Yana Kunitskaya as the UFC 222 main event, MMAFighting.com reported Wednesday evening. The outlet first reported Wednesday afternoon that Cyborg vs. Kunitskaya had failed to materialize.
Also finalized is a non-title fight between top featherweights Frankie Edgar and Brian Ortega, per the report.
The UFC 222 was expected to be headlined by a featherweight title bout between champ Max Holloway and Edgar, but the Hawaiian was forced off the card last weekend due to an injury.
