While Cris Cyborg has been hesitant to accept the label of “Face of Women’s MMA”, that’s exactly what Tito Ortiz says she would be after UFC 214. According to hall-of-fame fighter, who was part of Cyborg’s team during this fight camp, she’ll take up that mantle after finally adding the UFC title to her impressive resume.

“She is going to be the face of women’s MMA. She should have been a long time ago. She’s gonna be now,” Ortiz told Submission Radio.

Ortiz also spoke about Ronda Rousey, who used to hold that distinction during her title reign at bantamweight.
