Holly Holm vs. Cris Cyborg is an idea that has floated around since last year, when Cyborg - real name Cristiane Justino - made her UFC debut at a catchweight of 140-pounds.
When the UFC finally introduced a women’s featherweight division, Holm was expected to face the Brazilian for the inaugural 145-pound title, but that fight fell through and ‘The Preacher’s Daughter’ ended up losing in a controversial decision to Germaine de Randamie at UFC 208.
De Randamie, a former kickboxer, vacated the title and Cyborg picked up the vacant belt with a third-round TKO over Tonya Evinger at UFC 214.
