Report: Holly Holm will only fight Cyborg at 135 pounds; Cyborg responds

According to Lance Pugmire of the Los Angeles Times, Holly Holm is open to a fight with Cristiane Justino -- or Cyborg -- if she beats Valentina Shevchenko at UFC on FOX 20 later tonight, but there are conditions.

She needs to win tonight first, but @HollyHolm camp saying a potential @criscyborg fight would have to be at 135 pounds.

It didn't take long for Cyborg, who is the current Invicta FC featherweight champion, to respond. The Brazilian has never fought at 135 pounds and accused Holm of backtracking from earlier statements.
