If you were listening only to the tone of Felicia Spencer’s voice, you’d think she picked up a major win on Saturday and not her first professional loss.
Spencer spoke to MMA Fighting shortly after dropping a unanimous decision to former featherweight champion Cris Cyborg in the co-main event of UFC 240 in Edmonton, Alberta, and she was able to take some solace in becoming just the fourth fighter to go the distance against Cyborg in a losing effort. That list includes former UFC bantamweight champion Holly Holm (who met Cyborg in a five-round bout) and current Invicta FC flyweight champion Vanessa Porto.
