Holly Holm welcomes UFC catchweight fight against Cris Cyborg

Former UFC champion Holly Holm doesn't deny the fact that she turned down a fight against Cris Cyborg, which would've gone down at last weekend's (Sat., May 14, 2016) UFC 198 pay-per-view (PPV) event in Curitiba, Brazil.

For "The Preacher's Daughter," the timing of the offer was just off, as she was still set on doing anything in her power to get a rematch against Miesha Tate after "Cupcake" dethroned her from the top of the mountain back at UFC 196.

In fact, Holly recently told 120 Sports that she isn't opposed to going up to 140 pounds to face the current Invicta FC featherweight champion.
